Discuss ED directives for 2015 (based on our discussion with Marlyee, this can be generated as a draft and polished for acceptance at the May 2015 meeting. Ideally, this process should be moved to January, and we hope to do that in the future).
Tasks/Committees – think about volunteering for any of the following tasks:
Be on a team to review and update both the Board and ED evaluations to make them more appropriate to recent changes and most appropriate questions.
Be on a team to organize a Calendar of events for recurring board activities to help us keep on track (a few events listed below)
Board Evals
ED evals
Annual Budget Proposal and Adoption
Annual Operating Plan / Strategic Planning Meeting
Annual Retreat/Advance event or Meeting with Foraker?
Volunteer appreciation event
ED Annual Objectives and Guidance
Annual Fundraiser and marketing schedule
Be on a team to deal with annual operating plans. We did not create a 2015 operating plan. Our 2014 Operating plan can be viewed at http://www.fairbanksyouthadvocates.org/board/misc/2014-operating-plan/
Be on a team to finalize a basic outline of priorities for our ED for the remainder of 2015 which will be submitted at the May 2015 meeting.
New board member training is a requirement by our grants. We will try to schedule board training during one hour of our May board meeting with Mike Walsh.
Annual Board member financial contributions. Grants require that all board members are financially contributing to the organization. Evaluate what that means for you.
Schedule Next Meeting May 27?
Board bio update – we are out of date on website AND board blog site. Need bios from Dean and Chick. We are seeking a personal narrative which expresses why you want to serve on the FYA Board. Please see http://www.fairbanksyouthadvocates.org/about-us/board-of-directors/ for sample format and email to Patrick or Marylee to post on websites.
