Interns would be asked to present a public program about their experience. Donor is enthusiastic, and the Committee will present a proposal at the next OIC Leadership Team meeting. Anticipated timeline would be spring 2023 at the earliest.

Proposal included speaker stipends, advertising, and an OIC-sponsored Open House on 9/6. Several programs are being planned.

The program will be prospective and will not be a program about police violence. Josh Green made a motion to approve $800 to sponsor the exhibit and programs. Norb Klopsch seconded. All in favor, none opposed.
