The discussion with Terry Profota was accompanied by an outline. She presented a “draft” plan that includes “big picture” goals for the next three years. She talked about what the plan was based on. Of the surveys sent out, only 6 were returned by Task Force members or members who had recently resigned. The “at large” group of survey takers, returned 20. Many seemed unaware of what we do. Terry quickly reviewed:
- What’s working? The new ACT curriculum, mini grants, the influence of DUI law, public awareness, and our networking/partnerships.
- What’s not working? Clarification of the coordinator’s job, a finance committee, internal communication with members of the criminal justice system or policy makers, and a clear meeting structure.
The plan as presented addressed: Who is our audience? Who do we serve? It includes a more focused mission. A vision statement. Bob had a concern that we need a reference in both the mission and vision statement supporting law enforcement.
There are seven key objectives presented in the plan. Terry took each of these objectives and included them in a spread sheet. In about 6 weeks, Task Force members will be asked to sign up for projects as outlined in the plan and to commit to specific time lines for those projects. This will create accountability.
The floor was opened to questions or comments.
The goal is to have a final plan complete and approved by Nov 1st.
Meeting adjourned after discussion.
