<br />Youth Advisory Board <br />Meeting Minutes <br />9/18/09 <br />Page 2 of 3 <br /> <br />. Mandy- communications policy and open government rules. It is OK to <br />speak one on one about Y AB business, but if it is three or more, then it <br />is considered a meeting and there has to be an agenda. For all emails <br />to be sent to the group at large, please send to Mandy for distribution <br />first. <br />. AII- discussed what we hope to get out of the Y AB this year, why they <br />joined. <br /> <br />VIII. Expectations of Board Members and Professional Conduct <br />. Mandy- Y AB members represent the city of Louisville and should act <br />accordingly- be good role models. <br /> <br />IX. Guest Speaker- Julie Watson Smith, Youth Leadership Mentor <br />. Goals: a recent survey asked 1000 adults (28-60 yrs old) how many <br />had been taught to set a goal- only 36 (3.6%) said yes. <br />. Julie's definition of a goal = an experience she wants to have or a <br />change she wants to make. <br />. Don't forget to celebrate the things you do complete- each step down <br />the road is a "win" and measurable progress. <br />. Develop more of a proactive spirit, rather than reactive. Plan ahead, <br />be prepared. <br />. Set deadlines! This is your target for measurement. <br />. We are all born leaders, we just need to build our skills to do so <br />through character, service and gratitude. <br />. Six keys of character: Responsibility, Integrity, Respect, Perseverance, <br />Teamwork, Kindness. <br />. Service: It IS a great thing to be a go-getter, but it is also important to <br />be a oo-oiver. Give a hand, your time or even a compliment and <br />respect, no strings attached. <br />. Gratitude: It is OK to want things, but important to be grateful for what <br />you already do have- being grateful brings you back into the present. <br />. *Suggestion- try to incorporate a gratitude/celebration moment into <br />each day, or each meeting. How did you serve someone today, and <br />vice versa. <br /> <br />X. Discussion of Goals for Upcoming Year including volunteer projects <br />Brainstorming: Volunteer Activities: <br />October: <br />Halloween activity at the YTMCA (Monday before Halloween) <br />Flu Prevention- clean books (library), toys (Rec.
