Welcome/Introductions [[3:00-3:05]]
Introduction of Representatives from Organizations (Habitat for Humanity, CCPS)
Planning for the Employee Forum/Habitat for Humanity Partnership [[3:05-3:35]]
- Potential date of Employee Forum Sponsored Build (will no longer coincide with Employee Forum’s 25th Anniversary Celebration, as that has been scheduled for the Fall)
- Two potential dats were selected for a delegate sponsored Habitat build day
- April 7 or 12 from 12:30-4:30PM
- I will send out a Doodle poll to determine the date with the most delegates able to participate
- Once a date is decided, we will then reach out to other departments and units to see if they would like to send a delegation to the build
- CSL can be used to participate
- Proposed Goal for donations
-Request monetary support from Chancellor
- I will work with the Employee Forum chair to reach out to the Chancellor for a potential donation to help fund this event
-Money will also be used from our committee to purchase food/drink for the volunteers with any remaining funds being donated to the build as well
-Will reach out to local food vendors to donate food as well so that the greatest possible donation can be given
-Registration fee to participate (individual fee)
- The costs associated with a habitat build amount to $10 per volunteer
- With that in mind, we will be asking all volunteers donate $10 in order to participate
- If a department wishes to cover these costs, they can (at the same cost of $10 per staff member they are sending)
- Develop list of proposed Units/Centers who may wish to participate
- Heather Lewis will be assisting me in planning this build
- She will take on soliciting and developing our list of volunteers
- Draft/ Design of Pub flier (Rhonda @ CCPS?)/ Website for Event
- If anyone has graphic design expertise or knows someone who does and would be willing to draft a flier for the event that could be used to solicit volunteers, please let us know
- We would love to have someone do this for us before we solicit other staff groups in early March, will follow up on this at next meeting
- Date of Ceremony Awarding House to UNC Staff Member
- Sometime in May, 2017
- I will send out information on the ceremony and on the UNC Staff Member/their family as soon as I receive it
-Habitat for Humanity rep Alex Mitchell also informed us of another event they are sponsoring to highlight Affordable housing issue entitled “Carolina Blueprint”
