Program Committee Minutes

SCNYED
PROGRAM COMMITTEE
April 28, 2009

Darrell provided a brief recap of the Steering Committee meeting:
· Membership had one new candidate having trouble reaching her
· Two BU Graduate interns being interviewed one by FEN one by Council of Churches for Special project survey work
· Decision to extend Quarterly Forums to two hours and allow speakers one full hour

Next forum will be on 6/16/09 at 8:30 AM at AVRE
Presenter will be Richard Keehle head of Security for UHS presenting on Safety Planning for Non-Profits

We need to solicit locations for next two forums at this meeting.

Jennifer reported Mr. Keehle wanted some ideas of material we wished covered. The Committee brainstormed the following topics / issues:
· Outline of what should be included in a safety plan as a handout or an outline that could be sent electronically
· Balancing building security and public / parent / client access
· Safety for workers in the field
· Off site safety planning
· Transporting clients
Jennifer will follow-up with him on these topics.

Evaluation form was reviewed – the committee felt it was a good model and captured what we needed.

September Forum:
· Moved to 9/15/09 at 8:30 AM due to original date being day after Labor Day
· Topic still non-monetary motivators for staff
· Jennifer to contact Bob on possibility of adding a second person from STAP to present as they have very low turnover
· Bob to follow up with BAE person
· Meeting site undetermined

December Forum
· December 8, 2009 8:30 AM
· Presentation on foundation Funding – need to refine topic and decide if we wish group presentation perhaps on what they look for???
