Parking Lot / Discussion

Jason Zwang made a motion to Move the November Advancement Committee meeting from the 8th to the 15th in order to remain in compliance wiht the agreed upon timeline for Bex to have the financial report finalized by the 19th, and subsequently present it at the committee meeting.
Rebecca Wagner seconded the motion.
The committee VOTED to approve the motion.

Regarding Grants, Susannah, Barrett, and Alastair agreed that currently, the school is not prepared with proper funding priorities or engagement infrastructure to support embarking on important relationships with foundations.  The group agreed that as the strategic plan begins to execute, there will be natural opporutnities to engage with foundations around this, as well as more clear funding opportunities. This will also be supported by a case for support.

 

Additionally, Rebecca Wagner laid out a plan to execute a Case for Support for ANCS which was thoughtfully prepared. Jason will add her presentation to the minutes.  The goal is to have a draft in hand by December, 2024.
