Call: 1 669 900 6833

1. Based on this last survey, what were some things that we could have
done differently or improved on? Starting early, going to chapter houses,
have QR codes available, have paper copies and drop off/pick up next
chapter meeting, schools with low participation rates, how can we
collaborate with the parent advisory committee or existing committees,
create incentive/competition for highest participation rates, and IEC
members make Navajo taco dinner incentive.

B. Recommendation of changing the term “benefits” to “allowances” due to
funding reduction and there needs to be a cap on some costs or fixed number of
items purchased per school or first come, first serve basis.
1. Create talking points/language when speaking about student
assistance/JOM funding, fixed amount of school supplies. Motion to
change term benefits to allowances made by Belinda, seconded by Terry.
3-2-0.

C. Spending ideas for Bella Donation - No deadline for spending, but it would be
good to spend this semester for reporting purposes. Gift for 4.0 awardees, Travel
