Week 2 - January 15-19, 2007

Team:

I have figured out the permissions and set up the blog so that only people who are invited to read our blog may sign in. I also set up Anne to be an author at her request. If anyone else wants to post, please let me know. If I have missed anyone in the invitation list, e-mail me at kfroehle@zbzoom.net. I have "invited" people based on the e-mail addresses I have on file. If you have trouble getting in, it may be because you are using a different e-mail address than the one I registered. Again, just let me know.

Since we are conducting business to an extent here, it just feels better to restrict access.

1. Last week we received two proposals from Dewey & Kaye for the executive search and the organizational assessment.


2. I assume that the visit with staff happened on Wednesday and all went well? Anne or Peggy?


3. Norma was going to call Diana B. about the possibility of funding for our search and assessment. We can find out from her on Tuesday in a conference call if Diana was positive about that.


4. Norma reported in an e-mail that there was no word from HUD last week, so she is not in gear for MOMS funding yet.


5. Norma, Jodi and Kathy attended a meeting on the Highmark Walk for a Healthy Community on Wednesday morning. This event has the potential to raise a minimum of $10,000 for the organization. Kathy has volunteered to chair this committee unless someone else wants to "over volunteer" me. At the very least I will handle promotion for the event.


6. Susan and Norma met with Heather, a new volunteer.


7. Susan is managing publicity for the Victorian Tea. The committee for that event is forming as well.

--------------------------------------
NEXT WEEK, JANUARY 15

• The Board needs to review Dewey & Kaye proposal and respond to Kate and Leslie with questions or signatures.


• We're looking for a draft of the announcement letter for Norma's pending retirement to begin reviewing it.


• Once the agreements are signed, we can work on the position description for the Executive Director position.

We have drafts of Project Charters for the February Women's Leadership Initiative Chocolate Event, the Victorian High Tea in April, and the Highmark Walk in May. We need to consider how we review and modify these so the teams can get started.

Hope you are all enjoying 2007 so far. It is off to a vicious start, so hold on to your hat!
