Agenda topics:
Welcome & Introductions / Everyone was welcomed and provided introductions. Agenda was reviewed.Minutes / 1. Reviewed and approved agenda and minutes
2. Discussed Committee slating process document requested by CAIC. SPC reps should only come from SPC; there was an issue this past year with service provider reps not coming from the SPC. Nominating committee should work with committee chairs to create slates, and all slating decisions should be presented to the membership committee for final approval.
3. Reviewed CoC Member list. Breakthrough Urban Ministries, St. Anthony’s Hospital, and Back on My Feet should be members. For next meeting, will get complete list of CoC funded agencies that aren’t CoC members in good standing and will brainstorm strategies to reengage them and incentivize them to join. The CoC member list will have more information on the type of organization, like in the Excel Spreadsheet that was used previously. Will also bring list of current committee slates to next meeting, along with committee interest forms.
4. Discussed why the membership year is April to March and whether the membership committee could make the recommendation to change it to the calendar year.
5. December All CoC meeting. Discussed potential locations: DePaul, Wilson Abbey in Uptown, City Colleges (Kennedy King, Malcom X, Truman), Dawson school, Jones Commercial on State Street, University of Chicago. Discussed potential meeting topics. Typically, December meeting is more formal. YAB may want a slot and CAIC may want to do survey. We’ll also need to present CoC board slate. We should send out an email Save the Date requesting agenda items soon.
6. Standing meeting time: Agreed to meet the second Friday morning of each month.
