Janet, enjoyed lunch.
Another topic I didn't think to bring up at lunch: we are going to be in the market for a couple of board members (we have some venture capital board members whose terms will end in the next couple of years). We have had great success with female executives and it would be great if we could identify some female board member candidates as well.
We've hired Heidrick to conduct our search, but if there are people you think we should consider, please let me know. Ideally we'd be looking for people with
operating and board experience with other public companies.
thanks,David

Hello Mr. Spitz—
Please find attached a list of potential board candidates for the Channel Advisor Board of
Directors. From the Treasurer’s personal contacts these women appeared to be best
suited to what you described your board is seeking in new directors.
Please let the team here know if you need any other assistance, and thank you again for
your commitment to seek out diverse candidates for your board.
