Hi, Alan and everyone else!
1. Steering Committee
2. I agree with the two-year terms.
3. As requested, I will work on the Fundraising efforts. However, the
Bio-Specimen also intrigues me and I would like to be involved in that, also.
Thanks,
Joann

Subject: [focusonrhabdo-steering-committee] Repost - Moved to New List
I've moved this over to the new Steering-Committee list for discussion.
Team,
Sorry to take so long to get this to you. Between rebuilding the website and
the webinar, it has been a busy time. And, I broke one of my long-standing
rules - don't take notes while hosting a meeting. Just doesn't work. So, if
someone would volunteer... :)
Notes and Thoughts
Structure, Name and Terms
There seemed to be two names and structures that gained traction at our
meeting. The first is being called a board, with the standard array of
positions (president/chair; vice president and so on. Additional people would
be part of a committee structure working 'under' the board.
The second was Steering Committee with an Executive Board/Committee with the
same positions. There was agreement that terms should not be short and most of
us spoke to the idea of not having to leave, but rather move positions while
allowing for others - new blood - to come in.
Both of these are very similar. The Steering Committee concept might be a
little more flexible in allowing new members (spouses and others) to join and
participate, but the choice is for the group to make.
Question #1 - Do we want to be called a Board or a Steering Committee? We'll
tally the votes as they arrive.
Question #2 - Do we agree on the length of service being as long as we feel we
want to commit, and that we would change/rotate positions - allowing for new
blood - every two years (unless, of course, we want to resign a position).
Yes, No, Comments....
Question #3 - Who wants to volunteer for a leadership (Executive Committee)
position? Which one?
Committees
We discussed a number of committees beginning with Fund Raising and Public
Relations. We added Bio-Specimen Donation Committee and Education Committee.
Todd volunteered to chair the Bio-Specimen Committee and Vanessa indicated that
she wanted to be on (chair?) the Education Committee.
It is important that we put together the fund raising committee and see if
we can form a consortium of small foundations that will not only contribute to
the projects that we, along with our advisory board, lay out, but are also
willing to have funds directed to them and hold them for these projects.
As always, your thoughts and comments are both needed and desired.
Thanks for everything.
...Alan
