MN MPI Leadership Development Committee Meeting Notes July 30, 2009, 11:00 am – 12:20 pm Conference Call Members Present Tera Fox Rosealee Lee Ellie Madson Daphne Meyers Lynnette Offen Abbey Pieper Julie Ann Schmidt Tracey Smith Welcome to the new year Daphne Meyers Daphne provided an update from CLC/CLF/WEC to the group. Of note was a statistic all committee members need to keep in mind: 80% of MPI members get their education at the chapter level and do not engage at the international level. Calendar and communication update Rosealee Lee Rosealee reminded committee members about the new calendar, requesting that all calendar (not small task) items be placed on the calendar located on the group space site. Alternatively, members can email dates to Rosealee and she will place them on the calendar. Additionally, Rosealee showed an example of the new task/timeline form that will be distributed to all sub-committees. Thanks to Lynnette and Abbey for the great example of the form they are using! The task/timeline form will be due to Rosealee each month in lieu of the TSR and Rosealee will populate the TSR form from the task/timeline info received. It was agreed that the first Wednesday of each month would be the Leadership Development Committee Meeting and that for the most part, meetings will be via conference call. Rosealee thanked Abbey and Lynnette for sharing their conference call services. If Abbey and Lynnette are willing, the committee will use their call services on an alternating basis. Thank you to Abbey for hosting the August call. Action Item - ALL: All sub-committees update calendar or advise Rosealee of calendar dates asap – especially committee meetings. Action Item - ALL: All sub-committees are asked to advise Rosealee, Daphne, and Julie Ann when their meetings are scheduled (if not on the calendar) and asked to invite them to their meetings if their presence is needed. (Please let Rosealee know the location or conference call # for your meetings as she would like to attend most.) Action Item - ALL: All sub-committees complete the new task/timeline form when it arrives next week. Note the next due date of 8/6. August Monthly Meeting Rosealee Lee Rosealee discussed the committee recruitment plan for the August meeting. Members will be given a clipboard with talking points and an “I’m interested” form. Everyone on the call (except Daphne) will be at the August meeting. Let’s get more members engaged, add energy to our initiatives, and, as Tera stated, if we end up with too many people, we always need mentors. Let’s have some fun with this! Action Item - ALL: Recruit additional committee members at the 8/19 monthly meeting Mentor Next Door Lynnette Offen & Abbey Pieper This team will explore re-branding the name – possibly Leaders Among Us. Brand launch is tentatively scheduled for the January meeting. Exploration of the January meeting and engagement of students will continue between this team and the Education Committee. Discussion of the great model that the Arizona Chapter used for their April meeting followed. The team was encouraged to call Deborah Gardner, 623-869-9141 for more information.

Action Item - TEAM: Explore and recommend name/brand and details for the January meeting at the next LD Committee Meeting.
