Mission Circle + Board of Directors

Hello, folx! Here are the meeting minutes! Check out the next steps first! Please review and +1 if you consent to these minutes and/or add revisions for me to incorporate! We’ll assume consent if you don’t reply within 48 hours. :slightly_smiling_face:

Meeting Date

From 6 pm to 7:30 pm on Thursday, July 30, current members of the Youth Power Coalition (YPC) mission circle gathered together.

Updates

Elections, new policies, and/or operational decisions, all made via consent

Three 2020-2021 Goals
…. (1) Make visible youth power
…. (2) Grow in the number of partners and people
…. (3) Set a strong foundation for organizational health and development [funding, team, and governance]
We must have an intergenerational team to bottom-line each goal we choose to work on.
…. Each sub-team will discuss their plan for accomplishing their goal.

On merging, we decided to
…. stay as Youth Power Coalition publicly but wait to see how our org develops before making any changes legally.
Far, Carline, and Rachel left after this discussion.
The Internal Comms team will continue migrating things to youthpowercoalition.org and organizing by circle.

External Comms will
…. (1) send BLM related content to Carline
…. (2) review BLM and Name Change newsletters before we send them

For Art and Design, Kellen is facilitating a redesign of our logo with support from Carline, Deborah, Rachel, Sophie, and an adult ally (A.L.).

For Finances, we decided to use Open Collective! Some todo items:
…. End of Year Filings
