WEBVTT 1 "Neelam Gupta" (214867712) 00:00:16.621 --> 00:00:24.206 You guys wanna start or just wait a few more minutes for Greg to join? 2 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:00:29.227 --> 00:00:50.187 Well, it probably makes sense to wait for Greg. Oh, sorry. I just saw he sent a text saying that he's having trouble logging in so Neelam, you might want to resend him the the panelist link. 3 "Neelam Gupta" (214867712) 00:00:50.187 --> 00:01:01.323 Yes. 4 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:01:01.323 --> 00:01:06.546 Hi Tracy, now we can see you. 5 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:02:20.180 --> 00:02:24.240 Neelam, were you able to. 6 "Neelam Gupta" (214867712) 00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:26.566 Send that. Yes yes yes. 7 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:02:26.566 --> 00:02:42.380 Yeah, he may still be having trouble joining. 8 "Neelam Gupta" (214867712) 00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:11.125 Did you call him and just see that we just sent an email? 9 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:03:11.125 --> 00:03:34.024 Yeah, I I told him that you were resending the link, but you I mean you can certainly try and call him. It it maybe that if he can't join with the, the video that he might need to join with the audio only. 10 "Neelam Gupta" (214867712) 00:03:34.024 --> 00:03:35.925 Okay, let me see. 11 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:03:35.925 --> 00:03:44.422 I had to do that last time or one time before. Yeah. I had to join my phone I couldn't get on with a computer. 12 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:03:44.422 --> 00:04:03.060 Yeah, it's it's not clear I mean, we've been having trouble across multiple committee meetings with people being able to join and I I haven't been able to detect the pattern in terms of why people can join sometimes and not others because. 13 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:04:03.060 --> 00:04:20.361 You know it's it's like that you were able to join this time but not, not last time, so I don't know, I don't, it's it's unclear. 14 "Neelam Gupta" (214867712) 00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:32.421 I'm trying to call. 15 "Neelam Gupta" (214867712) 00:04:35.243 --> 00:04:40.778 It might get this number. Okay. 16 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:04:40.778 --> 00:04:46.005 I've texted Greg and he said he can't get on. 17 "Neelam Gupta" (214867712) 00:04:56.521 --> 00:05:05.579 Okay. Okay. 18 "Neelam Gupta" (214867712) 00:05:18.761 --> 00:05:23.759 Good morning Grant. How are you? 19 "Neelam Gupta" (214867712) 00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:39.618 Yeah, you can also call, make a call. We just sent you an email with the, like you can join us from your phone. 20 "Neelam Gupta" (214867712) 00:05:45.378 --> 00:06:05.219 Yeah, sorry about the trouble that you're having, but yeah Betty was able to join. She was having trouble last time she said but now she's yeah ok ok thank you. Let me know if you are unable to do so. Thank you sir. Bye bye. 21 "Neelam Gupta" (214867712) 00:06:05.219 --> 00:06:14.922 Yeah, I'm just trying via phone. 22 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:07:38.019 --> 00:07:56.762 Well, I, I wonder if maybe we should go ahead and get started with the discussion, just so that we're not not wasting other folks time. 23 "Neelam Gupta" (214867712) 00:07:56.762 --> 00:08:16.459 Yes, so the agenda for today's meet committee meeting was the October board retreat and the state service plan. We did send you two past BT, you know, retreat agendas. So if you want to talk about the retreat 1st. 24 "Neelam Gupta" (214867712) 00:08:16.459 --> 00:08:25.002 There is the 1st one. You guys want to talk about the retreat 1st or street service plan? 25 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:08:31.721 --> 00:08:35.826 I think we should discuss that. 26 "Neelam Gupta" (214867712) 00:08:35.826 --> 00:08:44.946 I think you're muted, betty. Sorry Jim. She was talking, but Betty You still muted, I forgot. 27 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:08:44.946 --> 00:08:47.782 If you're talking. There you go. 28 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:08:47.782 --> 00:09:11.727 I think the retreat is the most, important thing right now because it's upcoming soon, sooner than we actually think and I don't really, I know we talked a little bit about it before, but I don't really know what's been planned and I don't know if we should try to get most of that knocked out today or not. 29 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:09:11.727 --> 00:09:37.529 Yeah, I I I agree, betty. The so, so far we haven't made commitments on anything related to the retreat. I I sent early last month I sent kind of a rundown of some possibilities after discussing. 30 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:09:37.529 --> 00:09:54.299 With, choose nine oh one which is also has as a component served nine oh one and they were very helpful in terms of making suggestions for. 31 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:09:54.299 --> 00:10:10.619 The Location, the s the service and meals. So, their suggestion was the crosstown concourse. 32 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:10:10.619 --> 00:10:25.919 I think, let's see, and then Candice shared because Candice lives in Memphis I think probably most of you probably know that. 33 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:44.969 And she suggested that the location of the retreat might be, the actual meeting location might be determined on the location of the hotel. 34 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:10:44.969 --> 00:11:18.802 Cause we want something that's relatively close to the hotel and doesn't cause people to have to drive long distances to get back and forth to the retreat. I don't think that's too much of a problem using the, the crosstown concourse because there are several hotels that are, you know, within like a 05:10 minute drive of that location. 35 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:11:18.802 --> 00:11:21.749 Really? 36 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:11:21.749 --> 00:11:41.749 Because a crosstown is like right in the center, kind of crosstown of memphis. And I I love the crosstown, and I love that facility for our board retreat. Stephanie and I went there for our site visit and it was it's just a beautiful venue, it's historic, it's really. 37 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:11:41.749 --> 00:11:45.779 Interesting, but. 38 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:11:45.779 --> 00:12:03.307 I mean yes, there are places to stay that aren't too far, I guess, but you know we had to drive 15 min to get there, I think. And maybe that was just because of morning traffic, because it is in the center of Memphis. 39 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:12:03.307 --> 00:12:21.089 Yeah, and I'm not I'm not sure exactly where you stayed. I mean the the I think the closest hotels are kind of over in the hospital area, which I think is kind of the closest in there, you know, there, I think there's a. 40 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:12:21.089 --> 00:12:34.442 I think there's a holiday in that's right across from, what is it methodist? That's probably true. Yeah. 41 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:12:34.442 --> 00:12:37.321 That's probably true. We did not stay in the hospital area. 42 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:12:37.321 --> 00:12:43.889 Yeah. Yeah, and we when we haven't checked with those hotels yet, so. 43 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:12:43.889 --> 00:12:59.219 Yeah I'm not I'm not sure about availability availability, but there are a couple, a couple hotels or hotels motels, in that area, including the I'm pretty sure it's a holiday in. 44 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:12:59.219 --> 00:13:19.219 Or Hodien express or something like that, so anyway, there, there are some hotels kind of in that general area but again we we want to make sure that it's, you know, relatively easy for folks to get in and out, of the hotel and then to get to. 45 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:13:19.219 --> 00:13:34.922 Do the meeting space, all that kind of stuff. And you know, certainly Betty, you haven't spent lots of time in in memphis. We'll have to lean on you and and Candace for a long time. 46 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:13:34.922 --> 00:13:42.299 I'm in Candace and know a lot better where, I mean I would ask where they recommend we stay because. 47 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:13:42.299 --> 00:13:57.869 The hospital area is very, very crowded and we ended up staying downtown because it was closer than staying, trying to stay like the other area Hollywood, whatever. Honestly, I didn't look at the hospital area because. 48 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:13:57.869 --> 00:14:15.029 I've just had so much trouble there visiting people and whatever, but that that's just my personal thing. So I don't know, I think that probably Candice or Andrea would know best. And I remember we ran into the issue of, oh, we don't accept the state. 49 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:14:15.029 --> 00:14:33.702 They had told online I, our reservations had the state rate on it and then they told us they didn't accept it, but the rate they had, they gave us was lower than the state rate, so it was ok. But when we checked in, even though we had put that on, they had not done it. So that's another thing just to be careful about. 50 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:14:33.702 --> 00:14:35.501 Yeah, yeah, absolutely. 51 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:14:35.501 --> 00:14:38.327 I know you all do our. 52 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:14:38.327 --> 00:15:08.039 Yeah, we would, we would have to have a a state rate. Yeah so the other things that in terms of Candace, Candice recommends, you know, she said that the crosstown is a is a great option, but did mention kind of the hotel issue let's see. She said something about a. 53 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:15:08.039 --> 00:15:23.369 Hilton Memphis or somewhere nearby the ridgeway loop. I don't I'm not really sure where that is, but it doesn't sound like it's necessarily close to meeting spaces. 54 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:15:23.369 --> 00:15:39.959 And then she also one of her recommendations was Graceland, Elvis Presley, they have a hotel that has meeting space, and space across the street. 55 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:15:39.959 --> 00:16:00.741 They have also can do catering, or she also recommends shelby farms. Although I'm not sure about the hotel options for Shelby Farms. 56 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:16:00.741 --> 00:16:04.107 I think they're probably a lot in that area. 57 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:16:04.107 --> 00:16:35.869 Yeah, yeah, I'm not yeah I'm not familiar enough with Shelby Farms to to know. And again the kind of the, the big issue that we have with hotels and, and catering is always the state rate issue because, particularly for larger cities, it's often lower than what they would typically charge. 58 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:16:35.869 --> 00:16:55.619 But you know I think kind of the the bottom line is, you know, if, if folks still want to move forward with having the retreat in M emphas, staff can explore some of the options for both hotel and meeting space. 59 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:16:55.619 --> 00:17:14.965 And then kind of, present some, some possibilities via via via email. 60 "Evon Wood" (44667648) 00:17:14.965 --> 00:17:37.262 Yeah, I really want us to try to have it in Memphis area, if possible, and if staff could take on finding how we could get that triangle of meeting space hotel and service project, I think that would be the best way forward. 61 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:17:37.262 --> 00:17:51.389 Yeah, we I mean I think Memphis is certainly doable. It's just a question of kind of way what part of town we're gonna be in and what that then means in terms of the. 62 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:17:51.389 --> 00:18:07.889 Having a service project and the service project doesn't have to be super close to the meeting space, but it does help in terms of not spending a lot of time driving back and forth, because if, if we have to. 63 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:18:07.889 --> 00:18:32.943 Drive 20 30 min one way to get to the service project we, you know, we easily lose an hour or or more just in transport, which is a pretty significant portion of the, of the day if we're just spend any cars. So ideally that the service project is, is closed but it doesn't have to be. 64 "Tracy Van de Vate" (886963456) 00:18:32.943 --> 00:18:37.277 Jim, have we decided on a service project definitely? 65 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:18:37.277 --> 00:19:00.419 No, well that that's, that's part of the, the kind of the overall options. The the choose nine oh one serve nine oh one I think they can help us pretty easily find something. There, they had two recommendations. One was Catholic charities. 66 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:19:00.419 --> 00:19:20.419 Which has a mobile food pantry community garden, and a closed closet, so it sounds like there would be multiple things for, for people to do and that we could have things that are maybe a little easier for folks who can't do as physical type stuff. 67 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:19:20.419 --> 00:19:40.379 And it is close to the crosstown con course, which is the place they recommended for the meeting. But then they, they had a couple other recommendations including a learning farm and then the mid South food bank. So. 68 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:19:40.379 --> 00:19:56.489 But I think there's plenty of options there, and let's see just looking to see if Candice recommended anything in terms of. 69 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:19:56.489 --> 00:20:16.489 Service project she she didn't really have recommendations specifically about service projects, but yeah, so the, the service project I think we could depending on where the. 70 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:20:16.489 --> 00:20:50.765 Meeting is in the hotel, we could try to find something that is relatively close. Now, if we're kind of out further on the loop, that I think becomes a, might be a little bit harder because a lot of the agencies that are serving people are a little bit closer to the kind of the city central area. So again, it might just mean that we have to to drive a little bit to get back and forth to the to the service projects. 71 "Tracy Van de Vate" (886963456) 00:20:56.563 --> 00:21:09.821 Well, I know that in in one year we started one morning with the service project so that everybody got there and we started so there wasn't Your drive time was before 09:00. 72 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:21:09.821 --> 00:21:13.165 Yeah, and then we moved to the. 73 "Tracy Van de Vate" (886963456) 00:21:13.165 --> 00:21:14.982 We move to our meeting space. 74 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:21:16.960 --> 00:21:26.823 And the drive time before 09:00 is the busiest time of course to drive in memphis. So that's, you know, I would just send everybody. 75 "Tracy Van de Vate" (886963456) 00:21:26.823 --> 00:21:49.819 Everybody would be on their own to be where they were to drive in and not drive on volunteer Tennessee time and drive back to a meeting on volunteer Tennessee time. You know, of course you can always have it at the end, but we seem to drop off people when we have it at the very last thing. 76 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:21:54.542 --> 00:22:14.299 My suggestion would simply be that we try to find I think there are lots of service opportunities in Memphis and I think that we try to find a meeting location that is close to a hotel that is close to the service project so that we're not spending a lot of time driving because. 77 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:22:14.299 --> 00:22:34.299 Driving in Memphis can be confusing. I mean it's like everywhere now our interstates are wearing out and so there's a lot of construction and it's just really difficult sometimes for people who aren't familiar with the area to drive, even with the GPS. But that's just I think, I think it's very doable. 78 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:22:34.299 --> 00:22:57.679 Well and I'm excited about the prospect of our going to Memphis, and I think that we, I was trying to look up hotels near the Crosstown theater, right? I mean I call it the crosstown theater because I grew up there, but anyway, near crosstown center. So I think because I think the service the Catholic charities is a great option. I think crosstown's a great option. 79 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:22:57.679 --> 00:23:13.157 And, they have beautiful meeting space, beautiful, you know, lunch ideas there so just the hotel, I think we just need to. 80 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:23:18.383 --> 00:23:41.039 Yeah, certainly. So what what i'd recommend then because it sounds like everybody wants to move forward with Memphis, which I again I think we can, we can make it work. My suggestion would be that, that staff look at some hotel options, and then from there. 81 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:23:41.039 --> 00:24:08.724 Look at meeting locations and, and then also service projects depending on where the the hotel ends up being. And we can kind of triangulate all those three things so that they're as close as we can get them. And then, then we can send kind of, some suggestions options to, to the committee. 82 "Tracy Van de Vate" (886963456) 00:24:08.724 --> 00:24:13.158 Jim is the crosstown meeting space? Is it expensive? 83 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:24:13.158 --> 00:24:32.639 Well, it would be free, it would be free because, the, the choose nine oh 1s/serve nine oh one has their offices there and they said we could use their meeting space on one day. 84 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:24:32.639 --> 00:24:49.889 That their their meeting spaces is not available for both days but what we could do is, the memphis teacher residency, which is one of the miracle programs that. 85 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:24:49.889 --> 00:25:06.509 The volunteered tendency funds also has its office space there and so we could use their meeting space so we would have to, we would have to move, between days we would have to move where we meet, but we could. 86 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:25:06.509 --> 00:25:29.644 We could meet at that place for that space for free. I mean it's not ideal to to move meeting spaces because that means everybody has to take all their stuff and, you know, you can't leave materials in the room et cetera etc. But it, you know, it's not the worst situation. 87 "Evon Wood" (44667648) 00:25:29.644 --> 00:25:36.960 So neither one of them are available both days. It's only one is available one day and one is available the other day. 88 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:25:36.960 --> 00:25:53.879 I, I believe that's right, Yvonne but it has been it's been over a month. I talked to them so I I'll have to go back and verify, but I think that was the situation that they each had a day available, but they. 89 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:25:53.879 --> 00:26:13.109 They didn't have both neither one of them had both days, or or maybe maybe it was the MTR offices are closed on Fridays. I, I I can't remember, but I I can certainly follow up. But I know for sure that the. 90 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:26:13.109 --> 00:26:28.682 The choose nine oh one served nine oh one, they didn't have their meeting space available both days, which is why they suggested that we then utilize the memphis teacher residency. 91 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:26:28.682 --> 00:26:39.921 And while we've been talking, I just looked up the holiday and express that you were talking about is it says it is 1.1 mi from the crosstown con. 92 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:26:39.921 --> 00:26:41.332 4th? Oh yeah, so it's called. 93 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:26:41.332 --> 00:26:48.885 It's very close and it has a 4.7 up star rating of a thousand reviews. 94 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:26:48.885 --> 00:26:50.318 Yeah, oh yeah. 95 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:26:50.318 --> 00:26:54.605 So it's like, ok, and it's reasonable. Yeah, it's closed and it's got going. 96 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:26:54.605 --> 00:27:32.877 Reviews I mean again kind of the question would be, can, can we get the state rate for, you know, pro probably what's gonna end up being roughly maybe 15 rooms for two nights or so. I mean generally hotels are pretty happy to have a large group, and so they even if they don't typically offer state rates, then they, they will for a large group cause it fills up their hotel. But yeah, we'll we'll definitely follow up with them and check with them on availability and, and state rate. 97 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:27:32.877 --> 00:27:39.245 I think the prices are reasonable even if it's not the state rate. 98 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:27:39.245 --> 00:27:40.721 Yeah, I mean. 99 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:27:40.721 --> 00:27:42.877 What is the state rate? 100 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:27:42.877 --> 00:28:13.582 Reasonable in price there. What is the state rate? That was a good question for, it, it varies based on location, and for hold on just a second for Memphis, for Memphis it's 129a night. 101 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:28:13.582 --> 00:28:34.159 Okay, because I mean I'm just looking online and these are like 01:35, so it's not that much difference if they would, you know, yeah. Okay. I just, I really, I agree with Yvonne I think everyone else to We haven't been there in a while and it would be a great place for us to be and you know. 102 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:28:34.159 --> 00:28:43.603 As I said, my concern was travel time between this and that and the other and if we can kind of be central in those places, it would be wonderful. 103 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:28:43.603 --> 00:29:01.439 Yeah, sorry, just a side note. Neelam, are you able to turn the chat on for, for the webinar? Because right now it's blocked. 104 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:29:01.439 --> 00:29:22.979 Okay, so what I'm gonna do is just for the, for the folks who maybe haven't looked, I'm gonna put, the website of the crosstown concourse, which is what, what we've been talking about in terms of the meeting place. 105 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:29:22.979 --> 00:29:39.539 So folks, if you haven't had a chance, you can take a look at it and and just kind of see what it looks like and obviously if if we don't use that, we, we would follow up and send. 106 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:29:39.539 --> 00:29:54.665 Websites for other possible meeting places so that you all could check them out as well. Tracy, you got your hand up. 107 "Tracy Van de Vate" (886963456) 00:29:54.665 --> 00:30:09.042 Yes. So as far as location, if, if staff is having to change rooms and do all that, I would prefer if there was another available spot to make it easier on staff. 108 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:30:09.042 --> 00:30:11.243 I think that's for me. 109 "Tracy Van de Vate" (886963456) 00:30:11.243 --> 00:30:45.102 That's a priority. I I love this location, but, I I, with all the things that staff have to juggle on a retreat I think making it as easy for staff is to me a priority. Everybody else's priority might be different, but that's my preference. If it's if we can't find anywhere else, then great. I mean, I think it's a great location I've been there so. 110 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:30:45.102 --> 00:31:06.629 Yeah, yeah. Okay. Well, we'll we'll definitely follow up and as we've been talking Yeah so it's the MTR space, they, I just. 111 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:31:06.629 --> 00:31:22.949 Found cause the MTR helped connected us with connected us with the choose nine oh one served nine oh one. But they were saying that their. 112 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:31:22.949 --> 00:31:40.529 The MTR space is available all day on Thursday, but it's only available from eight to eleven on Friday. And so that that's not long enough. I can check with the. 113 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:31:40.529 --> 00:31:55.769 The serve nine oh one folks though to see if their space is available for both days and I'll have to go back through my emails to see if maybe we already asked that. I just don't remember right offhand. 114 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:31:55.769 --> 00:32:13.044 But I'll I'll double check because I I agree. I mean, ideally if we're, if we're in the same place for both days, it just makes it easier all the way around. 115 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:32:25.160 --> 00:32:49.868 I do know that when I was there recently, they did talk about that there were a lot of nonprofits in that area with a lot of different space and so it maybe that serve nine oh one has, you know, some ideas for us too. I agree, we want, we don't want this to be a hardship on staff. It's hard enough anyway for everyone to travel and get there and do what they need to do. 116 "Evon Wood" (44667648) 00:33:09.423 --> 00:33:27.977 So it sounds like we're good Jim, with moving forward with your plan of confirming the items that you can and then moving forward with sending us some options. Do you want to set a date to send us options? I don't know how far out you guys need a cushion to start locking things down. 117 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:33:27.977 --> 00:33:54.709 Well, let's see the retreats in late October, so I mean, ideally we would book the hotel as far in advance as we can just because we wanna make sure because that that that's critical. I mean we we can we can meet in a closet if we have to, but we, we have. 118 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:33:54.709 --> 00:34:17.089 Have to have a place to stay. So, so that's the 1st thing. So, I'll go ahead and check with the, the holiday in. Although if we're not gonna meet at the Crosstown concourse, obviously we would want to potentially stay in a different hotel that's closer to whatever meeting space. So. 119 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:34:17.089 --> 00:34:44.539 I'll check out a few things and ask, Candice maybe to check on a few things as well. I think we, we can probably have some additional details maybe in the next, within like two weeks or so, certainly by the August meeting the 14 August meeting, we should have some additional options and some more. 120 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:34:44.539 --> 00:34:49.209 More details for you all to decide what what you wanna do. 121 "Tracy Van de Vate" (886963456) 00:34:49.209 --> 00:35:11.017 Well, it would really be good to have as much lockdown before the August meeting then everybody can plan instead of after. So if we, you know, if we have location in hotel, then, you know, food and things like that can be service activities can be planned later, but. 122 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:35:11.017 --> 00:35:31.139 Yeah. Yeah. Well, what, what I'll do 1st is I'll I'll check with serve nine oh one to see if there's spaces available both days because I think that is the deciding point on whether or not we use the concourse. So I'll do that 1st and then depending on what they say, we'll either look at that. 123 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:35:31.139 --> 00:35:49.001 Hotel near near the hospital or, we'll start looking for either a combo of hotel that has a meeting space or a hotel that's near another meeting space and, and start looking into those. 124 "Evon Wood" (44667648) 00:35:49.001 --> 00:35:58.538 Thanks good. Thanks Jim. Yeah. 125 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:36:01.063 --> 00:36:19.727 Well, I think that's probably it for the retreat, at least for, for right now, if if you all want want to move into kind of the annual plan stuff. 126 "Tracy Van de Vate" (886963456) 00:36:19.727 --> 00:36:51.298 Yes yes yes. 127 "Neelam Gupta" (214867712) 00:36:51.298 --> 00:36:55.999 Okay. 128 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:36:55.999 --> 00:37:19.978 Anthony I don't know if it's possible to make that a little bit bigger, I know we can potentially zoom in using, using the Zoom function on the Webex, but maybe a little bit bigger bigger. And I I I would recommend if we just start at the top. 129 "Neelam Gupta" (214867712) 00:37:19.978 --> 00:37:28.461 I think we covered until six though, last time, 6.4. Yeah, sorry. 130 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:37:28.461 --> 00:37:32.004 You for sure know where where we need to start. 131 "Neelam Gupta" (214867712) 00:37:32.004 --> 00:37:42.379 Yeah, I think we did cover up to 6.4 so we have to start from 7.1 page one attendance records. 132 "Neelam Gupta" (214867712) 00:37:43.919 --> 00:37:52.460 Can everybody see, number seven, 7.1? 133 "Neelam Gupta" (214867712) 00:37:59.200 --> 00:38:10.507 Oh I don't know if somebody's talking, they're muted. 134 "Evon Wood" (44667648) 00:38:10.507 --> 00:38:18.977 I can see it. Okay, great. 135 "Neelam Gupta" (214867712) 00:38:18.977 --> 00:38:40.325 So this particular one is attendance records monitor member participation in quarterly meetings do you want to keep that? As a routine? 136 "Tracy Van de Vate" (886963456) 00:38:46.343 --> 00:39:02.820 Yes, I think I think we'd like to keep that and then and then we've got on here that we review those meetings on the Q4 call. And then if we see anybody that. 137 "Tracy Van de Vate" (886963456) 00:39:02.820 --> 00:39:22.820 Is under 75 % or or hasn't attended at all, then we usually reach back to Jim because Jim may know of a reason of why they have not been attending meetings and then if somebody is just not showing up and then we don't know, then Jim usually reaches out to them to see if. 138 "Tracy Van de Vate" (886963456) 00:39:22.820 --> 00:39:29.518 To try to get them re engaged in some kind of way, so. 139 "Neelam Gupta" (214867712) 00:39:29.518 --> 00:39:46.283 Okay great we can go down to page two committee time. 140 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:39:54.759 --> 00:39:59.465 Could we go back just a little bit to 7.2, please? 141 "Neelam Gupta" (214867712) 00:39:59.465 --> 00:40:02.857 Yes. 142 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:40:02.857 --> 00:40:15.570 Because and I realized I missed the last meeting, so maybe this was discussed, but activities and developed methods to re engage it says letters. 143 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:40:15.570 --> 00:40:32.458 Did we agree that we're gonna send a letter or that after speaking with Jim, if there's someone that just isn't coming or we don't know that we have a method that in which we will contact that person and who would do that? 144 "Tracy Van de Vate" (886963456) 00:40:32.458 --> 00:40:48.480 So in the past, the letters have come from Jim, but that's after discussion like if Jim has been able to make contact, do we know why the people have been missing? Then, then if, if Jim is not able to make contact and. 145 "Tracy Van de Vate" (886963456) 00:40:48.480 --> 00:41:03.601 We don't, we have NO anybody else that can make contact, then we, then we issue a letter. 146 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:41:03.601 --> 00:41:29.687 I guess I wondered if this needed to be revised to say that because in reading this, it just sounds like if someone isn't coming we're gonna send a letter which sounds impersonal to me, but the idea that Jim is gonna call and talk with them personally and then let us know is I think it's a really personal way to do that. I like that, but I don't think we're saying that anywhere in our plan. 147 "Tracy Van de Vate" (886963456) 00:41:29.687 --> 00:41:57.180 So I think that's activities. I don't think we spell out, you know, everybody's just different when it says activities and develop methods to re engage. I, you know, I think going back and discussing with Jim and potentially even the chair, you know, because we would, if we were gonna you know, if we're like, we can't, the board has not been able to re engage this person. 148 "Tracy Van de Vate" (886963456) 00:41:57.180 --> 00:42:17.180 And we don't know why they're not coming, then, you know, I'm sure the chair is gonna wanna know that as well and I think we've we've run that through the chair as well prior to sending the letter. So I think the activities are the trying to re engage person whatever. 149 "Tracy Van de Vate" (886963456) 00:42:17.180 --> 00:42:40.799 You know, is it, you know, who, you know, who is, who is it and then what what steps do we wanna take to try to re engage them? Somebody may owe them personally that's on the board and we may have them to reach out or we may not know and then we asked Jim to formally reach out. 150 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:42:40.799 --> 00:43:05.803 Yeah, Tracy I agree, I understand what you're saying, but as I look at 7.2, if none of us were here, it just says letters, so it sounds to me an impersonal thing and I would prefer to say like personal contact/letters or something before just having the word letters written there. 151 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:43:05.803 --> 00:43:21.090 Yeah, and one one thing I'd recommend is because the I mean the commissioners hear from me all the time, and I bug them all the time about whether or not they're coming to meetings. So for those who aren't showing up. 152 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:43:21.090 --> 00:43:41.090 It probably would be more impactful if they heard from one of their peers. So, either someone on the development committee or the or or Greg, the the board development committee chair or the chair of the commission itself Terry. 153 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:43:41.090 --> 00:44:02.820 Or vice chair, you know, someone, someone other than a staff member I think would be ideal to do that personal contact thing. I mean that that obviously does entail more work for all of you because it would, you know, it would be probably someone either on this call or or or Greg or Terry. 154 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:44:02.820 --> 00:44:11.097 Or or or a mix. I mean. Right, I don't think it necessarily. I like the idea of a mix in person. 155 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:44:11.097 --> 00:44:26.180 Yeah, I agree. If it's someone like we all have certain people we know better than other people, either because of where we live or committees we've sort of done or whatever. And I just think a personal contact is the 1st step and I like the idea. 156 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:44:26.180 --> 00:44:43.888 Idea of someone other than it doesn't mean you couldn't do it as well and maybe you already have, but someone in addition to maybe, the executive director doing that. What does everybody else think? 157 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:44:48.040 --> 00:44:58.603 I mean Jim says it would take time from us. Are we willing to put in that time? Is that something we feel our committees should do? 158 "Tracy Van de Vate" (886963456) 00:44:59.997 --> 00:45:19.070 I think when you say activities and you can say examples of activities, because if, if this person has never shown up and nobody has a connection, then the appropriate person maybe the executive director or the chair and that can be discussed between the two, what would be better if we're saying. 159 "Tracy Van de Vate" (886963456) 00:45:19.070 --> 00:45:41.220 Getting a letter, but I think you could say, you know, peer contact and or development committee contact and or executive director chair, vice chair of contact prior to sending the letter. Of course, I think before we've ever sent a letter. 160 "Tracy Van de Vate" (886963456) 00:45:41.220 --> 00:46:02.319 We've always gotten the input of the executive director and the chair before we've sent a letter, but we, I don't think we've sent that many Jim, because we've always, you know, before we've gotten to that reached out and figured out what, you know, what was going on. So. 161 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:46:02.319 --> 00:46:34.280 Yeah, that's right. I mean, yeah, and it's been a while since the committee has sent a letter, but typically folks who aren't participating, they will kind of sell select to to move off the commission or or to not seek reappointment, you know, kind of that kind of thing. But it does happen occasionally occasionally where we have someone who just doesn't. 162 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 00:46:34.280 --> 00:47:05.538 Doesn't show up, and you know they don't say I wanna get off the commission. They just kind of hold that spot and, but aren't doing kind of the, the fundamental thing which is to show up for meetings. I mean that that's kind of the the basic requirement of a commissioner is to attend meetings. 163 "Neelam Gupta" (214867712) 00:47:05.538 --> 00:47:08.483 I think you're muted Tracy. 164 "Tracy Van de Vate" (886963456) 00:47:08.483 --> 00:47:24.810 On 7.2 instead of just necessarily letters that the letters would be an activity, but re engagement potentially, and then. 165 "Tracy Van de Vate" (886963456) 00:47:24.810 --> 00:47:39.930 You know, how are you gonna do that? You know, when we've monitored attendance and now we're gonna try to have a peer connection in executive directory connection and or chair connection. 166 "Tracy Van de Vate" (886963456) 00:47:39.930 --> 00:47:59.040 Prior to sending any kind of letter and then you know and then the letter would be, based on the executive director, we've got, you know, in 7.3, any letters would be based on the executive director and chair input. 167 "Tracy Van de Vate" (886963456) 00:47:59.040 --> 00:48:20.880 So it may, it may mean wanting the board to making a call or if we know somebody else who has a more personal connection that's on the board. 168 "Tracy Van de Vate" (886963456) 00:48:20.880 --> 00:48:46.027 Instead of the committee, somebody off the committee calling that doesn't know them, maybe somebody on the, we ask somebody on the board to call and just check in with them. 169 "Neelam Gupta" (214867712) 00:48:46.027 --> 00:48:52.107 Okay, we can go to now 7.3. 170 "Greg Lyles" (749491200) 00:48:55.778 --> 00:48:59.447 Hello everyone I finally got it. 171 "Neelam Gupta" (214867712) 00:48:59.447 --> 00:49:06.327 Welcome. So sorry you were not able to get on. Happy to have you. 172 "Greg Lyles" (749491200) 00:49:06.327 --> 00:49:34.822 Going back to what Betty said about the letter could hear that on the phone, would it be better to say a designated volunteers or designated board development committee member or volunteer tendency chair, something like this kind of specify, will that answer your question, Betty? If we specify. 173 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:49:34.822 --> 00:49:50.700 Yeah, I do think it would be better too and just I mean, again, we just have the word letters sitting there and I think it would be better to say something like communication, you know, then we could define what that would be and it might be personal contact. 174 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:49:50.700 --> 00:50:09.742 By executive director, chair or development chair or whatever but I just think having the word letters there is ambiguous and I don't think that's actually what we're looking at wanting to say there. Right, yeah. 175 "Greg Lyles" (749491200) 00:50:10.318 --> 00:50:20.648 I'm, and I heard Jim too, I think it would be better coming from somebody other than him at that point. 176 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:50:20.648 --> 00:50:33.167 And maybe we want to say communication from volunteer Tennessee chair or, you know, VT chair or BDC chair. Yeah. 177 "Neelam Gupta" (214867712) 00:50:37.863 --> 00:50:44.839 Okay, so, can we move to 7.3 now? 178 "Neelam Gupta" (214867712) 00:50:50.006 --> 00:50:53.387 Committee time. 179 "Neelam Gupta" (214867712) 00:51:25.577 --> 00:51:29.967 Can you all read this or you want me to read it to you? 180 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:51:29.967 --> 00:51:32.718 I can read it. 181 "Neelam Gupta" (214867712) 00:51:52.646 --> 00:51:59.626 Betty you're muted. I don't know if you're talking. You're muted. 182 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:51:59.626 --> 00:52:02.506 I'm sorry my husband asked me a question. 183 "Neelam Gupta" (214867712) 00:52:02.506 --> 00:52:06.067 I wasn't sure. 184 "Tracy Van de Vate" (886963456) 00:52:14.062 --> 00:52:31.230 So I think the win of this quarter two, I think we could put as needed because you don't always need this. But if you have identified the people that you're going to reach out to in the quarter four call, then quarter two. 185 "Tracy Van de Vate" (886963456) 00:52:31.230 --> 00:52:47.790 That gets you to quarter two, that gives you plenty of time to try to make those connections and to see what's going on and then determine if a letter at that point is needed and, and discussing it with the executive director and the chair prior to the letter. 186 "Tracy Van de Vate" (886963456) 00:52:47.790 --> 00:53:09.320 That that would be only asked needed. 187 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:53:53.218 --> 00:54:12.922 It looks as if, if I'm seeing the form correctly that under 7.3 Evert when it says quarter three as needed is under engaged committee chairs to brainstorm ideas. I was thinking that as needed was going up with 7.2. 188 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:54:18.864 --> 00:54:20.440 Am I looking. 189 "Tracy Van de Vate" (886963456) 00:54:20.440 --> 00:54:24.967 In place. I think that was already, that was already there. Okay, ok. 190 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:54:24.967 --> 00:54:42.606 So we're just gonna add that with quarter two as needed as well. Thank you. Thank you Anthony. I didn't see it. I see that you're putting something in your notes and then it disappears on my computer, so I was trying to follow it. Thank you. 191 "Neelam Gupta" (214867712) 00:54:47.045 --> 00:54:58.163 It's about 1029, so just, just wanted to give you a heads up. 192 "Tracy Van de Vate" (886963456) 00:55:05.285 --> 00:55:25.682 Greg since you're on the committee chairs, is this something that increased commissioner participation between meetings? Is this something that other committee chairs feel that they, that they're lacking, that they're lacking commission participation? 193 "Greg Lyles" (749491200) 00:55:25.682 --> 00:55:30.600 I've heard Tracy so I don't. 194 "Tracy Van de Vate" (886963456) 00:55:30.600 --> 00:55:43.200 Okay, so I guess we just yeah just need to check in on that you know so so maybe we can move on to 7.4. 195 "Tracy Van de Vate" (886963456) 00:55:43.200 --> 00:56:05.288 I, I believe this is something that we added fairly recently to our state plan. So do, is this something we wanna keep? 196 "Greg Lyles" (749491200) 00:56:05.288 --> 00:56:08.462 I'd like that idea. 197 "Evon Wood" (44667648) 00:56:08.462 --> 00:56:17.366 Yeah, I like 7.4. That's a good practice to have each year. Okay. 198 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:56:17.366 --> 00:56:51.560 I like that could be as simple as at the retreat that we could ask people like one of the early days of the 1st day or in the morning when they're or having coffee or getting organized to ask people, we could have some sort of a card or something for people to just jot down a couple things they've done and we could highlight some of those maybe or ask people if they wanted to share some of those. Maybe some people who normally, maybe who are newer or haven't had the opportunity to talk as much. 199 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:56:51.560 --> 00:56:54.605 To do that. 200 "Tracy Van de Vate" (886963456) 00:56:54.605 --> 00:57:07.944 So maybe set that up or it's got quarter three on there that we we would ask so that we'd be prepared for the conference. 201 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:57:07.944 --> 00:57:30.500 Maybe we could even ask, you know, at our August meeting so that it would also serve as a reminder to people who hadn't been as actively involved. I mean, I talked with one person, I would spend a couple months ago about what she was doing and her response was, well, I serve on the commission. And so this is my service and I said, oh, well, I thought you. 202 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:57:30.500 --> 00:57:46.225 We're doing some other things too, well, I used to do this and whatever. Well, maybe I need to get back into that again. And so I just think sometimes just a reminder to people that we do want people who are actively involved and things as helpful. 203 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:57:48.567 --> 00:57:52.968 So how to do that in a positive way? 204 "Greg Lyles" (749491200) 00:57:59.780 --> 00:58:15.882 Or we could put a post it on the wall and ask them to write in things, you know, during the meeting and kind of celebrate that at the end or at lunch during lunch. 205 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:58:15.882 --> 00:58:18.503 Yeah, that's a great idea. 206 "Tracy Van de Vate" (886963456) 00:58:38.545 --> 00:58:43.200 So I do think if we're gonna do this and we decide, for. 207 "Tracy Van de Vate" (886963456) 00:58:43.200 --> 00:59:06.567 At their retreat, we need to make sure that it's on the agenda somewhere, so it doesn't get overlooked. Right. You know, whether it's during lunch or whenever we decide to do it, but that it it that it makes it to the agenda that we're going to celebrate each committee with their two accomplishments because you know how we you know how we get on time. All right. 208 "Greg Lyles" (749491200) 00:59:06.567 --> 00:59:35.883 I like that. Okay. 209 "Neelam Gupta" (214867712) 00:59:35.883 --> 00:59:38.323 Do you guys wanna continue or? 210 "Greg Lyles" (749491200) 00:59:38.323 --> 00:59:54.381 You mentioned that we were about out of time, so I didn't know where, where are we Betty and in the process. 211 "Betty White" (317266688) 00:59:54.381 --> 01:00:12.567 I think it depends on people's time. I guess we're at, what, 8.1, so is that our stopping place for now or do people have a little bit more time since we started a little bit late? 212 "Greg Lyles" (749491200) 01:00:16.460 --> 01:00:38.346 Maybe we since we said that an hour let's if we can keep it as that, that might be good. If I can ask the question about the sub committee, y'all went over that, right? I had to text that to need them. 213 "Neelam Gupta" (214867712) 01:00:38.346 --> 01:00:41.223 Yes yes, I. 214 "Greg Lyles" (749491200) 01:00:41.223 --> 01:00:57.425 Was everybody good with that? Betty, Betty, was everybody good with the subcommittee? 215 "Betty White" (317266688) 01:00:57.425 --> 01:01:00.685 I don't I honestly don't know what you're talking about. 216 "Greg Lyles" (749491200) 01:01:00.685 --> 01:01:02.178 Oh I'm sorry I thought needle. 217 "Neelam Gupta" (214867712) 01:01:02.178 --> 01:01:21.127 Yes yes, I did. I saw here's the text that I put that in the chat that Greg sent me a message that he has volunteers to serve on a subcommittee for the retreat and the Andrea, and he hopes that Betty can also serve on that subcommittee. 218 "Betty White" (317266688) 01:01:21.127 --> 01:01:31.364 Well, it depends upon when, but NO, I I'm not getting, I'm not getting texts or chats on this webinar, so. 219 "Neelam Gupta" (214867712) 01:01:31.364 --> 01:01:32.842 I'm sorry. 220 "Betty White" (317266688) 01:01:32.842 --> 01:01:46.276 Yeah, I mean there something pops up and then it just disappears, and so any all of that stuff I'm trying to read it and it's like I can't see it. So, it could be how I have things set up. It depends on the time, Greg, it's. 221 "Betty White" (317266688) 01:01:50.283 --> 01:02:08.840 Two weeks to go to Alaska, so we'll be gone for about two weeks and so if that timing is the same time that a lot of this is planning is being done, which sounds as if it might, that could be an issue for me, but i'm happy to help as I can. 222 "Greg Lyles" (749491200) 01:02:08.840 --> 01:02:12.584 If we can, if need them if you'll do doodle poll. 223 "Neelam Gupta" (214867712) 01:02:12.584 --> 01:02:14.439 Yep. Yeah. 224 "Greg Lyles" (749491200) 01:02:14.439 --> 01:02:21.844 I know I'm I'm out until 1 August because I'm working the polls for early voting, so. 225 "Neelam Gupta" (214867712) 01:02:21.844 --> 01:02:24.747 You'll be gone when I'm sorry? 226 "Greg Lyles" (749491200) 01:02:24.747 --> 01:02:31.402 I'm just not available. I'm working the polls starting tomorrow through 1 August. Okay. For early. 227 "Neelam Gupta" (214867712) 01:02:31.402 --> 01:02:35.787 I'll do the little poll after or after. Okay. After 1 August. 228 "Greg Lyles" (749491200) 01:02:35.787 --> 01:02:37.801 Dates yet. Will that help you, betty? 229 "Betty White" (317266688) 01:02:37.801 --> 01:02:43.664 You'll be back. Well then I'll be gone June the 28th until 11 August. 230 "Neelam Gupta" (214867712) 01:02:43.664 --> 01:02:45.224 July you mean. 231 "Betty White" (317266688) 01:02:45.224 --> 01:02:48.779 Right? Yes. I'm still here right now. 232 "Tracy Van de Vate" (886963456) 01:02:48.779 --> 01:02:53.319 So, so what are we asking the subcommittee to do? 233 "Greg Lyles" (749491200) 01:02:53.319 --> 01:03:18.637 Just kind of look at logistics as far as place and, you know, service projects, that kind of thing for the retreat in memphis. Tracy, you would like to serve on that? I'll be happy if you would. Any other volunteers outside. 234 "Tracy Van de Vate" (886963456) 01:03:18.637 --> 01:03:42.940 Those. Yeah I yeah, I will. I I I'm just I'm I mean we just discussed all of that just a minute you know just I'm sorry at the beginning, so I just I'm not sure what the subcommittee's gonna do. Oh, ok. Unless Jim, you want, you want, instead of staff calling, you want the team members calling. You would prefer that take that off the staff. Yeah. 235 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 01:03:42.940 --> 01:04:04.001 Yeah, yeah, I mean we could certainly do that. I mean, it depends on I guess what the subcommittee members thought they were getting into. I mean if they, if they just wanted to provide kind of guidance and and ideas. 236 "Greg Lyles" (749491200) 01:04:04.001 --> 01:04:06.481 So you already have a location and I. 237 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 01:04:06.481 --> 01:04:23.090 Oh there? No, NO NO NO. So we have a couple of recommendations but we haven't finalized anything yet. So we definitely need to do some more investigation and some more calls and checking with hotels and potential media. 238 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 01:04:23.090 --> 01:04:54.167 Meeting spaces, and while you all were discussing the, your action plan, I, I shot an email to the served nine oh one folks about whether or not their space is available. I haven't haven't heard back from them yet. But Greg, that was one of the things that other folks were concerned about is cause the, with the recommended across town concourse, we would have to move meeting rooms. 239 "Greg Lyles" (749491200) 01:04:54.167 --> 01:04:55.827 Awesome. 240 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 01:04:55.827 --> 01:05:20.886 Between Thursday and Friday, and in general I think folks didn't think that was the greatest idea. So I've asked if, if the served nine oh one folks have their space available on both days. If not, I think then we will want to look at other potential meeting spaces and then hotels that are close by. 241 "Greg Lyles" (749491200) 01:05:24.997 --> 01:05:29.424 So you already have somebody looking into that. Are you going to do that? Is that what you're saying. 242 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 01:05:29.424 --> 01:05:39.990 Well I've asked the served nine oh one folks if they have their space available both days, but I haven't heard back from them. They also are. 243 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 01:05:39.990 --> 01:05:55.680 The serve serve nine oh one which is connected to choose nine oh one. They're also happy to provide suggestions. I mean we we are still gonna have to do follow up with hotels and meeting space, but they can provide suggestions for us. 244 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 01:05:55.680 --> 01:06:15.680 But somebody is gonna have to do that legwork of calling hotels, seeing if they're available, if they accept the state rate, et cetera, and then the same with the meeting spaces to see if it's available for the days we need and all that kind of stuff. So there is, there is still a quite a bit of follow up that's needed. 245 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 01:06:15.680 --> 01:06:25.421 I guess the question is is that is that what the the subcommittee was willing to do? 246 "Greg Lyles" (749491200) 01:06:25.421 --> 01:06:30.182 I would think so, I would think so, yeah. Okay. But that could help with we could help. 247 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 01:06:30.182 --> 01:07:03.463 Yeah. Well, what I would suggest then is once I hear back from the served nine oh one because that kind of was our main decision point based on that, then we can figure out, where to go next and if it means contacting folks and and trying to find another ** another meeting space and, and hotels, then I can send out, I can send out an email to that specifically to that subcommittee group. 248 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 01:07:04.561 --> 01:07:05.643 And and see. 249 "Greg Lyles" (749491200) 01:07:05.643 --> 01:07:10.856 I thought Andrea should be able to help us a lot with that and since she's there. 250 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 01:07:10.856 --> 01:07:30.284 Yeah, she's she's local. Yeah, and and Candices as well, so I mean, fortunately we've got several local folks that can help us kind of scout out places and get advice on, on, on, you know, if a space is good or bad or, you know, all that kind of stuff. 251 "Greg Lyles" (749491200) 01:07:30.284 --> 01:07:40.245 So we'll just wait to get feedback from you and then after that we can look at sending out a doodle poll for the subcommittee. Will that work? 252 "Jim Snell" (3139483648) 01:07:40.245 --> 01:07:43.022 Yeah, I think so. Okay. Okay. 253 "Tracy Van de Vate" (886963456) 01:07:43.022 --> 01:07:46.599 And hey Greg I will I will serve on the subject. 254 "Greg Lyles" (749491200) 01:07:46.599 --> 01:07:56.237 Gotcha. Gotcha down, thank you. Thank you. Okay, I'm gonna be quiet because I came in on the end. 255 "Neelam Gupta" (214867712) 01:07:56.237 --> 01:08:04.352 Thank you everyone. I Appreciate it. I'm gonna stop recording though. Okay. Thank you. Bye bye.
