Some participants felt the breakout sessions were a waste of time. Some leaders may have not followed the protocols for small group discussions. Many had excellent breakout sessions. We may have some additional conversations or training for breakout room leaders. We should ensure that breakouts have introductions first.
There was a discussion on terminology in follow-up communications.
Fulford will officially thank Michael Carter from OIC.
ACTION ITEM: Fulford will send thank you to Carter
Attendance was good (82 people).
Many people had a negative impression of Oakwood before moving here. All had their expectations shift once they moved to Oakwood. It illustrated the power of “The Single Story.”
Community Research Discussions (Iseli)
Current Issues had questions about the process. Iseli is bringing a draft RFP for Community Climate Research. Iseli shared that this kind of data can help guide our organization. The cost for a different RFP from Burgess and Burgess was $15,000.
How will we raise the money for the market study? How do we balance the requests and expectations of the community that donates the money for the study? Data will need to be shared.
We need to build trust with the firm chosen to ensure the data is collected properly. The relationship between OIC and the firm will be critical going forward.
We need to identify outcomes and plans for how we will use the data received.
Burgess and Burgess and Mary Taylor were suggested as potential individuals/groups with whom we can share the RFP.
Motion “OIC will pursue an RFP for a Community Research Study” (unanimously approved).
ACTION ITEM: Hale will reach out to absent members to ensure they agree with the direction as well.
