The full process can be reviewed here . Furthermore, we voted to initiate this process and conduct a *review of our current Latin and Rhythm coach, Rozana Sweeney*. This review, performed via an anonymous Google form, has since been completed and carefully assessed by the Board. First, we want to thank you for your participation. We are grateful to everyone who took the time to share their thoughts. We received substantial feedback, and much of it was staunchly positive. However, enough concerns were raised that the Board felt it was important to *continue the process and formally consider other candidates* (in addition to the current coach). Therefore, we are calling upon our community once again. If you know anyone, including yourself, that would be a suitable candidate to serve as the Professional Latin and Rhythm coach for CMUBDC, please *nominate them via this form .* Anyone can be nominated, but please keep the Instructor Expectations Document in mind when making your selections. Nominations are due by *Friday, May 27th*. Qualified candidates will then be contacted by the Board for an interview. In addition to the nominations, we will also be hosting* two General Body Meetings (GBMs) *to continue gaining as much input as possible throughout this difficult process. - The first will take place on *Thursday, May 26th *at* 8:30 pm ET.* It will be an open discussion focused on our current coach, Rozana. - The second will take place on *Thursday, June 2nd *at* 8:30 pm ET. *It will be an open discussion on all other candidates. Both meetings will happen via Zoom at this link . *We encourage all members of the CMUBDC community to attend and share their thoughts.* Again, we take this process very seriously, and we want to thank you for all of your patience and participation thus far. We look forward to receiving your nominations and continuing the discussion with you at the upcoming GBMs. As always, feel free to reach out with any questions and/or concerns. - Your CMUBDC Officers - McKenzie, Jamie, Sasha, Abby, Fa, Eleanor, Steven, Brenna -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
