II. Resource Development
A.
Partnering with board members and fundraising
Check in with Resource Development partnerships.
- Carlos reported out that he has contacted his partner, Tyler and awaiting for a response. Tyler had questions about the give/get parameters.
- Deepa reached out to Nyanza and received similar feedback around questions give/get. What happens if the give/get is not met?
- Kim has not had an opportunity to reach out yet, but planning to do that soon. Suggested a timeframe for when to give and then can share in updates for sharing as an incentive to give sooner and than later for give and then work on get for the rest of the fiscal year.
- Overall, needed stronger setting of expectations process. It is in the job board description that there is a $2500 give and $2500 get. Have not hit this goal yet in previous years. There is more value in attendance, presence, and being at meetings. Elicited ideas for how to be more clear about this especially for new board members.
- Event for December: It might be too late and maybe do something in January and sometime in March but want committee feedback. Kim suggested the events be good deadlines for board give. Discussed logistics and how to is best to involve board and communicate.
- Kim will draft a personalized message. In Governance, a new dashboard will be rolled out and list out the number of board members that have provided Give and how much each person has given and pledged. It will not have board member names. Discussed a January event date and can propose at board meeting to the larger group. Will propose a Saturday event for January. Need to confirm retreat for May 3-4 and maybe have an event at the end of the month and it would be great to have a Development Director plan it. Will need to nail down a date at Board meeting.

Donor Event(s) Dec 8 and also setting a date for one in March
