There was a follow up discussion regarding last month’s conversation regarding several members that are
no longer attending. Jody has emailed Kenneth at Southside to see if he is able to attend or could appoint
someone else to come as a liaison. Jody also emailed both Shannon and Augusta and asked for them to
email a letter of resignation. Liz was to provide an email from Dipayan and Jody forwarded this on to
have him removed from the board list.

interviews and should be around the first week of March.

see.

hanging up in various locations, one is on the outside of our building. There is a great website with the

Staff and Program Updates:
We will be cancelling the March 10th board meeting as we will have all board members in attendance for
the Business After Hours event, which will be here at the IYB on 3/11/15 from 5-7. Jody will email the
link and the code for members to RSVP for the event and get in at no cost. Jody will get together a sign
up sheet for both Friends and the Advisory Board as we will be sharing a table together for information
purposes. Bill asked that we have a recruitment letter/hand out available to give to people at the event
and Jody will forward the current one to Talyse and Eric for approval before the event.
The 2015 monitoring/shadowing was discussed and Jody has emailed the supervisor/coordinator and she
is still waiting for all of them to email their information. Once she has received all of the information she
will email board members. Jody will also email the list of presentation dates.
George McGonigal was excused from the meeting, therefore there was no update from Common
Council.
Dave Warden was excused from the meeting, therefore there was no update from the Board of Public
Works.
Kenneth McLaurin from Southside Community Center was not at the meeting, therefore there was no
report from Southside.
Talyse gave an update that the Friends of the IYB’s – they are very busy working on grants and both the
chair and co-chair will be leaving, which leaves lots of transitioning right now. There will be vote at next
meeting for new chair and co-chair. They are seeking more members and will be cohosting the Benefit
for the IYB being held at Coltivare.
