1. Finalize Baltimore plans
A. Steers meeting agenda/call in if not attending. Agenda items:
leadership development and steers participation; define various
leadership roles, work
plan items, etc.; relationship of CURC with state college organizations;
Affiliations with other entities (Institutional Recycling Network (IRN),
others?); ABCs; relationship between NRC and CURC, budget/finances, etc;
CURC booth and incorporation with NRCs booth; etc. Please e-mail Pete if
you have other items to add. Pete will bring NRC Council guidelines and
NRC budgetary support documents with him to the meeting. Pete
will bring the
edited sections of the ABCs with him as well. Julie and Carolyn should
be able to call in later in the afternoon. Sheela indicated she
might be able
to call in as well. Pete is working on getting a number to call.
B. Saturday gathering
place – Ed was working on locating a place for
this. Need to identify it ASAP so a reservation can be made. Mary Jensen
had a suggestion too but it sounded like reservations could be an issue
there especially with our estimated numbers. Pete will call Ed to try
to identify the location he has found.
C. Workshop issues – One
speaker, Chris Jolly, may have a last minute conflict but if so we
can work around his absence. Per Pat everything
else is going smoothly.
D. Business meeting
agenda – Develop this at the steers meeting on Saturday.
What do we want to accomplish? Begin with an introduction of those present
and CURC steers and projects; be sure to remind members that we are a
volunteer organization with the ability to accomplish only as much as
members are willing to contribute, two steering committee spots to fill;
ABCs introduction; solicit feedback from members; introduce members to
what’s happening with CURC currently;
E. CURC Booth – Have a booth reserved but waiting to hear from NRC on
where our display board is. Pete will try to confirm with NRC ASAP. We
have a basic setup with a table. Pete and maybe Ed will be bringing a
chair or two. Recommended that we again push for NRC to help support
it’s councils with booth setup. Also, our banner will not mention that
we are a council of NRC. There is an award for use of recycled materials
in booths. Pete will brainstorm with Ed about ideas. Pete will also talk
to Ed about covering booth staffing when we don’t have a volunteer. No
one will staff the booth during the CURC business meeting.
2. ABC's
We should
have all the initial edits by the steering committee meeting. Pete
will have an electronic version of everything he got ahead of
time. During the steers meeting the group can take a look. Plan to present
all the chapters that have been edited to NRC after Baltimore since at this
point NRC wouldn’t be able to do much with them.
3. Filling
Vacancies strategy
To be discussed
in steers meeting. Think of ideas for recruiting new steers. Currently
do not have any leads
for the two open positions we have.
4. Regular
meeting day
Despite
holidays, etc. the third Monday of the month is the date that appears
to work best for everyone. So calls
are scheduled for the third Monday of the month beginning in October.
