Notes

Missing 3 people today. Mike, Doug, and X

Updates

• 30 days post-merger - working on a budget in LYR format and creating narrative/glossary. Working on program sustainability assessment template. Will start that internally with staff. It will inform some discussions with Steerers and Leaders in coming months. 
• CRM - we want to talk about ways to automate validation of User Registry Data and integrate it with the CRM.  Stay tuned/ 

Task Forces

• Action planning groups were more engaging than the steering meetings. 
• Those ended in march. We need to form some new groups. 
• They are designed to have a deliverable and a defined timeline for completion. 
• We invite anyone in the community to participate. Not just governance members. Separate meetings from Leaders and Steering meetings. 
• E.g. Membership task force is fairly active. And is still ongoing. 
• We need a financial oversight task force. Help adopt the new LYR budget and financial process going forward. And do up budget for next sycle. 
• We also need a development roadmap one too. 
• Opportunity within community - ppl are interested in future direction of VIVO and the architecture - where to go from here for the next few years. Some ppl were nominated but elected members - we need them to contribute. Good way to do that. 
• We also need a communications task force. We need a short article. We need to update the charter with LYR info and changes to meeting schedule if those happen. Anna volunteered to help. She has designers at SIGMA. They did the annual report. We could use some help with rebranding.
