Meeting Minutes

1. The group read and discussed group agreements (slides 3-5) noting anything that stood out or comments/questions they had

2. The group did a reverse networking exercise (slide 6)where they formed pairs and shared what makes them who they are today and will add value to our work. They then introduced each other. 

3. Emma shared an overview of the work that has been done so far with the strategic planning phases including the Advisory Committee’s work and the Board’s process (beginning on slide 7). The Action Team discussed and clarified their role, asked questions and had clarifying discussions about what had been presented. 

   1. The group had been sent pre-reading of the Advisory Committee’s recommendations (and a link to the Advisory Committee’s full report) and the ACSD Boards 3 Strategic Planning Goals and components. The committee discussed and appreciated the work that had come before, which helped inform the discussion about their roles and responsibilities. 

4. Action Team members were asked to consider whether they would be interested in a co-chair role, which would increase the diversity of voices that comes out of the Action Team's work. The co-chairs would not be asked to facilitate any meetings, but would meet with staff to share areas where the group may need additional support or clarity. They would also work with staff to send regular updates about the Action Teams work to the community and may present some of the work to the board at the conclusion of the Action Team’s time together. 

5. Next meeting is set for February 6th 2023 in the MUHS library. 

   1. Emily will send pre-readings in advance. 

   2. Minutes and other documents will be shared on the ACSD Strategic Plan Action Team webpage.
