Family Promise of Anoka County Board and general meeting 4/8/2010

We had 19 people In attendance at the 6:30 orientation meeting. The board meeting was a board training presentation by Claas Ehlers from the national Family Promise organization. Claas reviewed the progress of Family Promise of Anoka County to date and presented the board model that Family Promise suggests; challenged us to increase our board size (we’d like to add 4 board members by the May meeting); to formalize a number of our committees and to define the roles of the board, committees, executive director and coordinators.

Other items of note: Our 11th host congregation has come aboard, New Life Church in Ramsey; Tom Myrick has agreed to chair the fundraising committee. CTN channel 15 interviewed FPAC board president Rhonda Steele and Claas, and also taped part of the board meeting for viewing on Channel 15, Coon Rapids public access TV (Comcast) or online at http://www.ctnstudios.com/index.htm. Tune in to see.

Next Board Meeting May 6 at Grace Lutheran Church in Andover.

Respectfully;

Mike Nelson, Secretary
