    • Emerging Issues to be discussed during the March Quarterly Meeting.

    • The Process for the System’s Change Grant (Cherie Phoenix) to be discussed during the March SILC meeting. The SILC will not be reviewers, but offer input and feedback to the grant reviewers.

  • Internal Committee (Teddie-Joy):

    • Teddie-Joy announced that Bob Ludlow verbally resigned from the SILC earlier today.

    • Marco noted the work being done by Bob regarding foreclosures and potential benefits to people with disabilities. Marco noted that he will not be present during the March SILC meeting.

SILC Quarterly Meeting Agenda Review and Confirmation

  • Dr. Sue recommended that an outside consultant not be used to mediate the March joint meeting with CFILC. She recommended that Liz and Teresa Favuzzi mediate the meeting instead.

  • Tony warned against having a director facilitate a strategic planning process.

  • Teddie-Joy recommended greater participation and discussion the next time a contracted facilitator is used. However, at this point, a contract has been engaged between CFILC and John Victory so it will proceed as planned.

  • Teddie-Joy requested accountability with measurable results from the contracted facilitation services (including purpose, outcomes, and products).

  • Dr. Sue will discuss the proposed process for the needs assessment of the next SPIL during the Communication and Collaboration Committee update.

  • Action Needed: Subtopics under committee reports to be included in the meeting packet.
