SUBJECT: ANNUAL REPORT — LOUISVILLE YOUTH ADVISORY BOARD <br />DATE: APRIL 22, 2014 <br />PAGE 3 OF 4 <br />and day of event logistics. Support from other school organizations is gathering steam, <br />as many groups have committed to help with the event, including NHS, NetZero, FHS, <br />and student councils. <br />The March volunteer event was the St. Paddy's Day Dinner for seniors at the <br />Recreation Center, where YAB members served food and helped with set up and clean <br />up. <br />April 2014: <br />The Monarch High School vs. Fairview High School Eco Smackdown will be on April <br />15th and we hope it will be a huge success! <br />WHAT WORKED WELL FOR YOUR BOARD THIS PAST YEAR? <br />This year the Youth Advisory Board did an excellent job of planning an event from <br />conception to implementation. They worked well with delegating tasks, following up, and <br />communicating with other organizations, administrations and local businesses. <br />WHAT DID NOT WORK WELL FOR YOUR BOARD THIS PAST YEAR? <br />This year, more than in years past, it seemed that the meetings were rather rushed and <br />altogether too short. It may be worth considering having the Youth Advisory Board <br />meetings for the next term start a half hour earlier (at 6:30pm instead of 7pm) to allow <br />for more time for planning and discussion. <br />LIST PLANS /GOALS FOR NEXT YEAR: <br />• Promote public awareness of YAB <br />• Continue to provide volunteer opportunities for Louisville Youth <br />• Encourage youth to voice their opinions regarding the City of Louisville <br />• Continue to network with and support other boards and departments within the <br />City of Louisville (City Council, Parks & Rec., Planning, Cultural Council, Library, <br />etc.) <br />• Advise city government, when possible, on issues affecting the youth within our <br />community <br />• Recruit a diverse group of new members for the next school year to fill openings. <br />IN WHAT AREAS DO YOU NEED CITY COUNCIL INPUT /FEEDBACK? <br />We would like to invite the City Council to recognize our outgoing members for their <br />outstanding contributions to the Youth Advisory Board. <br />David Andrews <br />Karen Buri <br />Caelis Hanna <br />Brooke Hubbard <br />Kaylix McClure <br />Katie McQuie <br />Eliza Miller <br />Bonnie Schrag <br />Mitchell Waters <br />Tyler Waters <br />Joi Wu <br />CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION <br />4 <br />
