K. Drew talked about the Development Committee's work towards fundraising for the Third Decade Fund.  There are small committees working on Alumni Relations, Major Donors, Grants and Public Relations.  She provided more information about the Major Donor work, using a prospecting survey to help understand which families already donate philanthropically, develop a plan to work with families around giving, and to try to reconnect with families of alumni.  We discussed ways to share information between Development and Governance and use a database or another way to track potential nominees.   We invited G. Clancy and K. Drew to Trello to see current prospects. 

T. Sumner discussed his education plan for the Board of Trustees, and how GovComm could help educate the Board about Governance issues.  C. Regan-Davi gave her list of educational topics:  current charter school topics, myth/facts, etc... 

We discussed looking at the Board performance expectations during our next meeting on 10/31 and revising it for Parker. 

We made final edits for the CEO Succession Planning and will bring them to the Full Board meeting for a first read on 10/11.

C. Regan-Davi and G. Penna had a conversation about recruitment for the Diversity and Enrollment Committee.  They are seeking a graduate research assistant, perhaps a student from Parker, a member of the Spanish domain, and a call to parents.  

Diversity Committee will be tasked with writing a blurb to go out to local schools of education to look for a student.  L. Warner will give the "How you can help the BoT" to Cindy for Friday Announcements.
