Dear King's Community, I am pleased to share that the Board of Governors at its meeting yesterday accepted the recommendation

of the Presidential Search Committee to extend the term of Dr George Cooper for two years, until June 30th, 2016. Dr Cooper has accepted the Board's offer. The Board would like to thank the Presidential Search Committee for its extensive community consultation. The Search Committee also made the following recommendations which the Board has forwarded to the Governance Committee for consideration: 1. That the Board empower a supporting body to engage in a discussion surrounding a) the effectiveness of and possible improvements to the current presidential search process and b) the expected qualities of future King's presidents, and to prepare clear and documented recommendations to the Board. 2. That the next presidential search begin no later than January 2015, to allow sufficient time for a full and effective process. I invite your continued support for the positive direction the President and the Board is setting for our great university. Sincerely, Dr John Hamm Chair Board of Governors
