Agenda,

3.5 strategic planning package

Paul had a package. We like the graphics. He said he wouldn’t talk about it; he would just pass out a speech, which he did. He felt it was a simple model and was well done. He wanted to bring it to our attention to know it was available. The ad hoc committee felt it was a good model but we should proceed with our original template.

Paul was encouraged to be involved in the Mission Vision Statement project.

At the March General Meeting, we distributed the general meeting etiquette and member relations protocol. Paul will do a presentation at our next GM.

Misson/Vison: Values were distributed, 37 surveys returned, not much change at update: affordability 34%, respect 25%, ethical 20, security 22%, children 20%, post. Part same, confidentiality., 20 , home 17 %, quality 14%, account, 14%, peaceful 13%, pleasant 13%, dignity 10%, % . Good response.

How do we integrate the above into a statement?

Mission Statement: Top values as above: discussion: distinct and short, problem if we only identify certain values this could be a problem as everybody wouldn’t have their say and it wouldn’t be fair.

Other argument is that even though a minority voted for different values, they should be heard

Reminder that general membership will have a forum to decide what they want

Values should come after vision and mission, according to a committee member; work on vision and mission. There is understanding that there is vision and mission to be worked on. Paul said he can help with this-developing a vision and mission. Have statement identifying values. Objective to develop vision and mission. Suggestion to come back to AD HOC Committee with 3 Mission Statements. Other idea to come up with one mission and do word-smithing with committee. Objective to work on one mission and vision statement that will be word-smithed.

Conflict Resolution and Member Relations: Chris and Christine have worked on this and Paul will address this.

Ethics: Needs to come back-is being worked on

Decision-Making: adopting policy that no policy would be voted upon without community being consulted
