Minutes
Present: Dave Boyce, Kristi

Dave reported on the
Regional Forums.
- First forum last night went well. 22 people in attendance. Coverage in Free Press this morning.
- We need to seek funding for the forums
(marketing, PO Box, mailing, website, possibly mileage & honorarium
for speakers)
- Regional Forum group could use another student
rep to develop campus/youth presence.
Dave also suggested that we
seek a report from the Rasmussen Woods group to post to our website.
Tony reported on Envision
2020
- Diversity of group has been holding up.
- Have begun to randomly assign participants to
discussion groups and leadership roles, to increase diversity of
viewpoints
- Need to address issue of maintaining the group
after the process closes out, to keep energy going. Citizens’ Voices could host it, if a
home is needed.
- Need to get word out that people are still
welcome to come to the Envision 2020 meetings.
- Publicity committee has a TV program which is
now airing the day after each meeting.
Also, news release stressing that it is crucial that wide
