Introductions
Each person stated their name and who they were representing.
Future Event Coordination & Changes with Foundation & Leadership NW
Leadership NW has decided to leave Heartland Foundation effective September 30, 2008. The Leadership NW board has asked the Foundation to release their funds and those of GNWD. Any of our bills that arrive before September 30 will be paid by Heartland Foundation from their funds. Leadership NW has applied for 501C3 status so money given may be deducted by stating’501C3 applied for’.
GNW Day will be under their jurisdiction. The Leadership board hopes to be able to offer a broader range of programs. Bev Maltsberger is chairing the group.
Mark Garges is treasurer for Great Northwest
DaySM. Mark will be ready for his duties October 1. The GNW account will be at Bank Midwest so if money is collected at a different location it can be deposited directly into the account.
Kim Mildward is taking care of Leadership Northwest registrations. Her contact information is on the
web site.
Anyone with suggestions or concerns is welcome to attend or may contact Bev or Cathy Morgans. Watch the webpage for information about the decisions that will be made.
Financials
Budget:
- Appetizers went from $175 to $215. We will have 3 trays instead of 5
- Dinner went up a dollar.
- Continental breakfast is $9.50. We will stay with hot breakfast for $12.
- The rest of the budget is as stated.
- Snyder & Associates will be a shared sponsor for $500.
- No polos
- Natalie will print the programs in house to save the $350
- Leadership will consider donating the calendars that we plan to use as a reminder.
The general feeling was that we will need to have more corporate sponsors, keeping in mind that we will not approach anyone who is helping sponsor communities. We also can ask current sponsors to either go up on their commitment or share with another sponsor.
Motion to table passing the budget until next meeting was made by Eileen Irvine and seconded by Lisa Macali. Motion passed unopposed.
Corporate sponsorships
Tom Bliss is sponsorship chair
Suggestions included:
- KCPL (Auila)- go up or share
- Touchstone- go up or share
- Missouri American Water- ask for $1,500
- MW Data- Richard Baldwin will ask
- Olsen Associates- ask for $800 for pre-event dinner sponsorship
- As we add these companies to our list of sponsors, we need to remember to get their logos.
