II. Committee Expansion

Networking/Increasing our Committee Members

  • Needing to increase our network
    • Can we develop a 1-pager of sorts that covers all the bases? (ex. highlight the stuff we've been doing, the growth we've seen, why this is a great opportunity, who we're looking for, time commitment, etc.). 
    • Who is in our community that we can reach out to in order to help solicit more interest in board members?
    • Who is in our geographic area that would be interested in supporting as a member of the board?
    • Can we connect with Kevin to see if they have some more folks coming out of LACPS? 
    • Leadership Jefferson? A 40 under 40 list?
    • Taking a look at local government and see if there's anyone interested? 
    • Are there any education based organizations that we'd be interested in connecting with?

      Next Steps:
      • Claire/Jaime will put together a one pager. 
      • Everyone else will spam.
