The committee summarized accomplishments to date: the Outreach/Curriculum Committee has reclaimed the Visions Document, utilizing it as a model and reference for tracking RHEP-wide accomplishments and incorporating HP2010 goals.  Our next step, introduced at and approved by the Advisory Panel May '02, was to assign and charge each RHEP-wide committee with the tasks of: identifying their committee's accomplishments according to the Visions/hp2010 documents, and encouraging them to identify committee goals for the future

Our two-fold purpose in this task is to:

- collect and document our work for legislative audit, to enhance a favorable review, to secure/augment funding

- ensure a valuable, cohesive, credible curriculum

 

Individual assignments were made within our committee, May meeting; project was introduced in some detail by Bors at Schools Committee, May '02.  The committee chairs were notified by mail, Memo of 7/05/02 with cover letter detailing project, and attached assignments, the "Working Document"; July, Sept Panel meetings cancelled; the Visions Working Document Reports was reproduced, dated 09/09/02, and resent to the Committee chairs;

O/C committee members reminded by email 10/14/02 of individual assignments;

few responses from individual members were initially received, but no formal committee reports as of conference call

Old Business 3. Individual assignments were received; Patti discussed hers, 4.2 in detail, incorporating Pilot Site project work with Shannon Bell: an adhoc committee /Task Group of Jodi/Mike McCarthy, Patti, Kathryn Greenlief, Henry Taylor and others; working to expand the Flagship Objectives to include more documenting options for all partners; and created a master template to incorporate into Tracker (Mike, Patti) to

assist Site Coordinator's in capturing outcomes---Patti emailed us copy of the Draft for this. In development by Dr Taylor, Jodi is a "Student Checklist" detailing, explaining for

RHEP students the importance of the HP 2010 goals and how their community service applies to these goals;  We referred to Minutes of May 20 to remind ourselves of last formal meeting plans and O/C individual work

 

New Business:

"revitalize" our committee's efforts:  discussion from all members  brainstormed these ideas:

1. resend copy of letter to chairs, with individual committee

assignments highlighted in some way (ie, Finance Committee, list clearly the actual Recommendation assignments RecommendationI...) with copy of Bors/Patti's templates as example;

-2. reinforce the importance of this assignment by reviewing at Nov 18 Advisory Panel meeting (April); Dennis will speak to Hilda to encourage all Chairs or a designee to attend; purpose to reintroduce the project and its goals especially its ***potential importance to next legislative audit and and funding approval****the responses from the committee chairs will enable the RHEP-wide community to "prove ourselves clearly"

to the legislature

3. make in-person presentation at each committee , during an upcoming Panel meeting; O/C committee will assign an O/C committee member to be the responsible liaison/presenter to each committee (can be done at Nov 18 O/C mtg), to facilitate dialogue and follow-up on obtaining feedback from these Visions Document assignments

 

With no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
