State Relations

Situation…..BOV has done great job "answering the bell"…but State level has been too "reactive"

Challenge…. Create a systematic and sustainable grass roots organization proactively focused on promoting the interests of UNC at the State level

Progress….Report today from Chair Michael Painter

Recruiting CompetitivenessSituation…..

Expanded enrollment and increased competition from other universities challenge Carolina's ability to maintain/improve student body quality

Challenge….Create a Task Force on Recruiting Competitiveness to help the University develop and implement a plan to maintain/improve Carolina's competitive edge

Progress….Report today from Chair Michael Kennedy

University Branding

Situation….Carolina has one of the most prestigious "brands" in higher education…but multiple constituencies make an integrated brand strategy increasingly complex

Challenge….Create a University Branding Task Force to assist with the University's ongoing evaluation of its branding strategy

Progress….University initiative deferred until Fall 2009

Continuing Involvement

Situation…..BOV Members want more ways to remain meaningfully involved with Carolina, both during and after their term

Challenge….Create a Continuing Involvement Task Force to identify and implement additional avenues for involvement by members and former members of the BOV
