Youth Advisory Board Agenda 10/6/16 Page2of2 Liaisons also discussed the importance of professional behavior, as YAB members are representatives of the city of Louisville. The rules of open government were explained, and in particular, liaisons stressed that no more than two board members may discuss YAB business in an open, unpublished setting, including via email. VIII. Discuss Chair, Vice -Chair and Secretary Officer positions for November election - The liaisons discussed the roles of Chair, Vice Chair, and Secretary, and noted that members may run for these roles at the next meeting. IX. Volunteer projects for the upcoming year - Mandy handed out volunteer logs and shared the types of volunteer activities that YAB members do through the course of a typical year. We brainstormed possible activities for some of the undecided months. Ideas included working at Community Food Share, Sister Carmen, and doing something to help the homeless. X. Teambuilding — Board members played a teambuilding game to get to know each other better. XI. Goals for the upcoming year — The Board split up into three small groups to brainstorm ideas for this year's long-term goal. Group 1 thought about doing a project that involved working with local animal shelters to promote animal adoption. They also thought about doing some kind of Street Faire geared toward youth. Group 2 thought about doing a modified Trek the Trails. Instead of just one day, it would be month-long, and would aim to get people more involved by incorporating a scavenger hunt, QR codes, etc. Group 3 thought about promoting fitness by having multiple events that ultimately concluded with a special one day fair. There would be booths with representatives from local gyms, yoga studios, etc. XII. Discussion Items for Next Meeting — • Think about project ideas and ways to promote them, discuss them with friends, and at the November meeting we'll make a final decision on our long-term project. • Use Sign Up Genius to sign up to bring meeting snacks • Members who want to run for an officer position should prepare a short speech to deliver to the group. XIII. Comments from Liaisons — Jessica told members that the library is looking for upperclassmen volunteers to tutor middle schoolers after school. Jay mentioned that City Council is discussing term limits for boards and commissions but noted that YAB may choose not to have term limits. Mandy reminded everyone to bring back their signed Attendance Policy forms if they haven't already done so. XIV. Adjourn — The meeting was adjourned at 8:00 pm.
