Exhibit A Governance Structure Redwood City 2020 uses a two-tiered governance model described below: Redwood City 2020 Leadership Council Role: Serves as the policy-making body for the collaborative and takes action after receiving information and recommendations from the Executive Team and the Redwood City 2020 Executive Director. The Leadership Council sets vision, approves the appointment/termination of the Executive Director and any changes to the Executive Director's salary, approves the annual budget, approves program initiatives, approves monitoring and evaluation of program implementation, aligns the values and purposes of member organizations and Redwood City 2020, and provides resources to sustain and grow the work of the collaborative. In addition, the Leadership Council seeks resources and provides the forum in which issues impacting the community served by Redwood City 2020 can be raised and addressed in a collaborative manner. Membership: Each Redwood City 2020 partner organization contributing at least $25,000 per year to support the collaborative is entitled to have up to two members from the policy body of its organization serve on the Leadership Council. These members should be elected or appointed directors, or have equivalent policy level responsibility in their respective organization. Structure: The Leadership Council will annually select a Chair from its members, who will be responsible for leading the meetings of the Leadership Council, serving as liaison between the Leadership Council and the Executive Team, and working with the Executive Director to develop meeting agendas. This position will rotate among partner organizations on an annual basis every August. Meeting: The Leadership Council will meet at least five (5) times annually. Additional meetings will be scheduled as needed. The Leadership Council may choose to have one of these meetings designated as a "joint policy meeting," in which the Redwood City 2020 Executive Team and Leadership Council will meet together. The Leadership Council may choose to convene a meeting of the community and program partners that work in Redwood City 2020 priority areas to share information and receive input about community needs.
