Summary of Feb 2, 2009 Meeting

A dozen interested blog members joined our meeting on Monday to discuss the future of the group and actions that need to be taken. Mark presented an overview of the high-level strategy for structuring the organization into teams/committees and workstreams needed to meet the goals of our group's Mission and Scope. Paul also discussed the initial thoughts of Governor Strickland's plan, based on the limited information available at the time.

In the spirit of transparency and open communication, the presentation for the basis of the organizational forming discussion can be found here:

In short, there are three teams that will start work immediately in coordinated manner to build the organization:

Platform and Branding

Purpose: Develop strategy and consistent, presentable message describing the purpose and goals of the group.

Team Lead: Phil Petrella

Outreach

Purpose: Identify audiences and perform actions needed to engage HCSD community and represent SHS.org.

Team Lead: Jackie Min

Education

Purpose: Provide a central resource to create educational materials and present as needed.

Team Lead: Kerre Kammerer

Now that the structure and milestones have been defined, it is time to roll up our sleeves and get to work. Over the next two months, the teams will be putting together detailed plans and materials to execute upon in 2009.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

It is time to take the passion and energy you had in 2008 and put it to work in avoiding frustrating years like that in the future. There are several ways you can assist:

  • Contact the leaders of the teams or myself and volunteer to help out.
  • Join us at our meetings to provide your input and keep involved.
  • Extend the message of the blog/group to friends and interested constituents within HCSD.


Our next meeting will be on Monday, March 2; 6:45-8:15pm at the Hilliard Library. At this meeting we will get updates from each of the teams on their expanded plan and progress to date. Additionally, hopefully we will have more details on Governor Strickland's plan and what that means for Hilliard.


I look forward to hearing from you and seeing you at the next meeting.


Mark
