February 22, 2012 <br />Item 6.ii.a <br />Outreach Committee <br />Arianne: It would be really important for us to convene on a regular basis to share information and plan <br />together so that we could use all of our resources. <br />Gwen and Mark: both will be working on the statement — Position Statement Committee <br />Gary: Considering raising the possibility of a regional forum with the League of MNHRC. <br />How to educate the community about the issue? Proposed draft? Gary asks Jill to draft; Arianne wants <br />to help. Come together to work on the position statement together, with the language already started <br />prior to meeting. We will build capacity and be much more powerful together. <br />Check into language of Outfront, MN United... <br />Joint press release! Media... <br />Target date to complete by: June/July <br />Gary: We are planning a half day retreat/workshop for commission/professional development. <br />Arianne: very interested in participating...share costs <br />Wayne: We would benefit from an outside facilitator rather than perform our own in-house facilitation. <br />Morning part could be general HRC development/training <br />Lunch <br />Afternoon — could separate into our own HRC and brainstorm objectives for the year <br />Thelma arrives. <br />Thelma: raises the issue of the article based on Golden Valley and Hopkins, and asks what we as a HRC <br />body can do. <br />Arianne: We should continue to meet to support one another's work. <br />Wayne: we are using this as a prototype so that other HRCs around the region could collaborate and <br />continue to build strength and gain support. We need to be more active in our surrounding city (i.e. our <br />HR district) so that we can collaborate and do more, or just to be aware. <br />Thelma: talks about Isanti County and their changes. <br />Gary: talks about reassessing the changes (i.e. how Roseville reassessed city government access) <br />I had to leave. <br />
