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.
Deborah will be the speaker at the August monthly meeting. (Per Daphne, she knows Deborah personally and she is
awesome!)
Action Item - TEAM: Explore and recommend name/brand and details for the January meeting at the next LD
Committee Meeting.

All Team Meetings
Ellie Madson
All Team Meetings for the 2009-2010 year were discussed. 9/9/09 and 2/3/10 dates have been established. A
scavenger hunt and networking game will take place in September, along with a MN Chapter web tour by Emily
Nelson and an International web tour by Diana Fuller. An All Team Meeting is planned in November with a focus
of recruiting for the 2010-2011 year, both locally and internationally. In addition, learning more about the MPI
Foundation is on the agenda. The November date needs work. Ellie and Sue will work with the Membership
Committee re: potentially joining the new member luncheon with the All Team Meeting. Alternatively, perhaps it
could be held adjacent to the November Board Meeting. The team will explore. February’s All Team Meeting has a
focus of EMPIs and scholarships. Lisa Ann Venne will be one member of a panel re: how are scholarships written,
judged, etc.
Action Item - TEAM: Further develop all three All-Team Meetings and determine calendar placement of the
November meeting. Plan to advise progress at the next LD Committee Meeting.
Power of Two
Tera Fox
This team is working on a format change. They recognized that the current time commitment may be too much for
members and are addressing that. They will attend the New Member luncheon to inform new members of the
initiative and gain new Power of Two participants.
Action Item - TEAM: Advise plans for change and redevelopment at the next LD Committee Meeting.
Emerging Leaders Group
Julie Ann Schmidt
This is a pilot project that will begin in January. Julie Ann described her vision for the group and will continue to
work on development.
Action Item - TEAM: Update on progress at the next LD Committee Meeting.
Communications
Julie Ann Schmidt
Julie Ann advised that the Communications calendar had been posted on the group site. Rosealee will merge the
two calendars to assist everyone’s ease of use. Julie Ann discussed how to work within the communications
framework of MN MPI. She will take Tera’s request to the webmaster; for the Power of Two link to be replaced on
the home page.
Leadership Tools
Tracey Smith
Tracey discussed initiatives that are underway for the new year including articles that will be written with Nikki for
the newsletter and website.
