IV. New Business:
•
• Board Member Survey: See handouts attached. The board reviewed and discussed. Determined .
the need for a board retreat to work on strategic planning. Committee of Chad,G and rita to plan
the agenda for the upcoming retreat.
• Motion to apply for City funding Motion made and carried to authorize the staff of Dynamic
to apply for grant funding from 9 local cities for the upcoming 2 year funding cycle..
• New Initiatives(Staff) see handouts attached.
o What's the optimal size for a therapy center? The current plan is to have additional
Center locations but smaller overall; satellites,not a supercenter.
o Dynamic Mentoring Program. The only SLP candidates we are getting are straight out of
school so they don't yet have the experience to provide services at the level of quality we
require. During last year,we've realized we aren't going to get seasoned SLP's,so we
are beginning a mentoring program;on-site,on the job training prior to getting caseloads
so that therapy staff are intensively trained and can serve families at our service level.
Goal to be in place by August 1st,2008.
• New Initiatives(Board) •
o G presented an idea based on a program from Seattle Works about how to take the annual
fundraiser and turn it into a WOW event that raises millions.
