These programs would be annually evaluated, and the evaluations would feed into and inform the Holistic Reviews. |

Because the new proposed framework for reviews would require substantial amendments to Article 4 of the bylaws, the Board proposed the development and implementation of pilot programs to design and test models of the Holistic Review and continuous improvement program. That work is ongoing. |
