Subject: Last CAPP meeting assignment...

Here's my understanding of the discussion at our last meeting:

We will work with a small action group to plan and implement a poverty conference for the community using the Bridges out of Poverty framework with a desire to haveTeri Drussi-Smith as speaker. We will concurently (like that Barry?) explore the possibility of conducting a 'Getting Ahead ' project within the community as a follow up to the conference. (Getting Ahead  is a several- month facilitated process that works directly with adults in poverty to help them understand the hidden rules of middle class and wealth, thereby assisting them to make different choices.) In order for us to implement the Getting Ahead piece, we will need to have a trained facilitator. Cindy will explore with Advantage Dental the possibility of her being that facilitator.

We will use our next regular meeting to create an action plan for delivering a community wide conference (follow up question - who will invite that core team to this meeting?)  I would suggest the following as a draft agenda even though it's simplistic. (please add/subtract/scoff) We can do this several ways; I would suggest make some of the decisions as an entire group and then assign teams of people to the topics needing follow up work with regular report outs to the entire team. Obviously each of these topics will require many sub-topics under them e.g. Where will include finding a venue, coordinating sound system, IT technology, seating, food, etc.

CONFERENCE:

*         Who: identify and confirm a speaker for the conference/logistics,etc

*         What: identify the purpose of the conference

*         When: Pick a date and check to make sure there's no community conflict

*         Where: identify and secure venue

*         How: funding...total cost and how to raise funds

*         Registration and Advertising
GETTING AHEAD WORK:

*         Same as above
Please feel free to forward this email to whoever should have it for input.
