Welcome to CBN’s Newest Board Member, Kathy Siddens

CBN is excited to be welcoming Kathy Siddens to our Board of Directors in January 2021!

When the CBN Board of Directors has a vacant seat, it appoints a Board Nominations Subcommittee to oversee the nominations process. During fall 2020, this committee evaluated current Board strengths and gaps, created a scoring tool based on identified priority areas, solicited nominations, scored and evaluated finalists, and made a recommendation to the full Board in December.
