Further notes on implementation of 2016-7 Goals from our July Committee meeting:

  1. Implement transparency and intra-membership communication:

    • AVP-L subscriptions for all Chapters (Katherine will lead).

      • Should we auto-subscribe new facilitators? Consensus NO, would be intrusive.

      • Can add links to joining AVP-L on website, all-member emails, etc.

    • Publicise these Committee reports on AVP-L

    • Have a Committee section in Transformer

    • Link up Committee Intranets (DONE)

    • Connect with academic/school communities

  2. Transformer subscriptions for all

    • What about the cost?

      • Transformer costs per year - $7,000 divided by $20/group = 350 groups.to break even (less individual subscription sales).

      • Subscriptions budgeted at - $700

    • Send our welcome to AVP letter to people who order things.

    • For those who can't afford: Apply for scholarship to Transformer or better, encourage every Group to have a Share-A-Transformer.

    • Publicity: Include: AVP-L, Transformer (group subscription), Website, Distribution Center.

    • Shovel ready projects for possible fundraising:

      • The Transformer including graphic design/layout

      • Translation of the Transformer into Spanish

  3. Closer partnership with PR

  4. Bring new people with new ideas and support. Interns?

Other shovel ready projects for possible fundraising:

  1. Free manuals for those who can not afford them

  2. Training Videos in future.
