Operations Committee Minutes – 1-30-2008
Following is an audio file of the first (new) operations committee meeting that took place on January 20, 2008. Attendance was taken during the meeting. The file can be downloaded below, played below, and will be distributed via the podcast.
This is also a test of sorts: the new podcasting features the web dude is working on, and an alternative way (telephone or Skype conferencing) for VFR committees to conduct meetings.
OPERATIONS COMMITTEE DRAFT NOTES
JAN 30, 2008
Present: Ed Russell[Tech Comm]; Bob Gutowski [Transmitter]; Bill Weye [Website] Tony Shannon [Fundraising, Board, Operations Coor], Bob Gardner [Operations Coord, Finance]; Jose Tolson [Station Managers], Fidel Hildalgo [Board]
No representatives present from: Programming, Training, Studio Committees.
Summary of discussion & decisions:
* We will continue to meet via phone conference. Bill Weye recorded this session using Skype [internet phone technology]
* Since we were expecting the charges for this session to be in the range of $40-60, next time we will try doing a “Skype†option, where Bill will call each participant and link us. To this we will all need to notify him of what number we would like to be connected on.
* A key mandate for OC is to get volunteers plugged into work committees. To do this, we will need: a list of available people from programming, a list from each committee of how many people they need & what skills are required, and somebody(s) to be volunteer coordinators. Bob Gardner has some possible candidates to approach. Fidel has been working on surveying programmers for what they already are doing.; he will continue that work, and send OC a list of people and current tasks.
* We generally discussed the nature and mission of the Operations Committee and how it would operate. My sense from that discussion is that it will continue to be a communication vehicle, with most work being accomplished in member committees. Occasionally, tasks will be performed directly and/or problems addressed and resolutions found in these meetings.
