II. Development

A.

Essence Project Interviews

Katrina presented the template for the Essence Project interviews and the thoughts behind scheduling them. 

There was some concern over 1:1 interviews and it was suggested that we have 2 interviewers for each interviewee so one could listen and record answers.

It was decided that Katrina would look into a scheduling scenario that would allow interviewees to pick a time slot that works for them and then we could find DevComm members who could attend each interview.

Cindy brought up that it might be nice to have Deb Merriam do an informational video on the Essence Project and what we are trying to achieve.

Additional question added to interview template: Where do you think Parker needs more support?

B.

March Donor Event planning

Katrina shared a list of possible alums to invite to participate in a version of Ted S. Talks.

The group decided on four alums that would be great to include and Katrina will contact them to see if we can find a Saturday date in late March/early April that would work for the majority.

Julie is going to communicate with Cara Stadler again about any availability that she might have to particpate.

C.

Working groups updates

Katrina updated the group about recent activity in the working groups.  She highlighted grants, the alumni reunion on 11/24 and the art sale from 12/1.
