The Board discussed ongoing fundraising efforts, including progress toward the $25,000 annual fundraising goal, which includes board contributions.

• Gala Timing: The gala will be moved to the spring to allow greater focus on the August ribbon-cutting, back-to-school events, and the end-of-year campaign. Format and spring dates are still under discussion.
• Executive Luncheon at the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony: A VIP “power hour” luncheon will be held during the ribbon-cutting event to support the $5,000 extended learning campaign. Each board member is asked to invite 2–3 potential donors. The luncheon is free and limited to 25 guests; board-invited guests' donations will count toward each member’s annual give/get goal.
• Board Check-ins: Ajuah Helton will schedule 30-minute check-ins with each board member to strategize giving approach, donor network, and in-kind opportunities.

The Finance Committee will officially launch in August, with members Ajuah Helton, Erika Estrada-Olufade, and Anthony Giles. The CFO, Candice, will attend remotely to present financial reports as needed.

• Financial reports are typically ready between the 10th and 15th of each month. Due to timing, financials will be reviewed by the committee after the board meeting, resulting in a two-month lag in board presentations (e.g., June financials will be reviewed at the August board meeting).
• The committee will review current financials and meet a few days before each board meeting, with a finalized schedule to be adopted and posted for the year.
• Additional meetings will be built in during budget season (March–May).
• The committee will determine a secretary and a central meeting location so that a regular meeting schedule can be adopted during SVA's July board meeting.
