PC^{2 ~} Key Talking Points

Platte County Prevention Council Date: February 3, 2010

Present

• Own It! – WORKSHOP    
  
  • We need to form an independent 501c3 governing board. We need to possibly align with another 501c3 (i.e. UW Cooperative Extension Service) or county organization, or school. Maybe we need a workshop to go through the funding, by laws, and setting up the board to be a governing board and not an advisory board, and put in a fiscal plan before the next board meeting. We need a workable plan. Workshop scheduled January 20, 2010.
    
    • We need to answer these questions;
      
    • How much goes to Administration overhead?
      
    • How much goes to advocacy?
      
      • Organizational structure
        
      • Board governance ( Mission and Vision)
        
      • Financial (fundraising)
        
      • Sustainability
        
  • We went over the By Laws, Mission, Vision, Confidentiality Agreement and Memorandum of Understanding

Goals: To increase positive academic/community engagement thereby addressing the behaviors of young people leading to substance use and inappropriate behaviors. In addition, the goal is to increase communication and bonding between parents and children. Encouraging families to communicate and be more involved in each other's lives would foster higher self-esteem in youth and aide in their ability to have better refusal skills and more success in schools.
