STEM Governance Meeting #2

20 Nov 10 am

Notes:

Paul…Megan…Bill…Jim…Monica

Paul: Michigan Advanced Tech Program

Agreed:  A role of the St. Clair Hub Director would be "To examine and engage parallel efforts and programs…and to leverage the relationships of those programs toward the vision/mission

Agreed:  A role would be to Identify successful STEM partnerships and educate our community as to why these programs are of high value.

THE WHAT DEFINES THE ROLES…WHAT IS THE WHAT?

Structure…

Directorship...A compensated position

Director should be one person (not a shared position) with strong support from a solid group of goal area leadership. These would be standing committee leaders…or act as a "cabinet" to accurately inform the chair.

Secretary position should be established

Treasurer should be established

A Marketing position should be considered/established

Director should be involved with the state framework…or perhaps an solid industry spokesperson.

Director needs to reach out to other parts of the community

Should have responsibility to the state-led efforts in an inclusive manner

Director should have an equal place with the other hub directors at the state level meetings, not a preferred place due to the larger volume of the demographics it represents.

Director should be paid to "make stuff happen." "Drive the actions of the hub"

Set the vision with the input from the committees to best represent the hub…carrying out the mess ion of the hub members.  Be sure too connect with and to the other hubs.

The chair pulls the vision from the hub membership…in coordination with the statewide initiative.

The chair establishes the culture of the hub as well.

Communications:  Use of Basecamp as core tool.

Develop Blogsite to be considered.

Next meeting: Friday, Nov 30 at 130 pm.
