Executive Director’s Report Mr. Johnson believes that Region Ten is now organized to better address the “no wrong door” goal for consumers seeking services upon demand. During the retreat five goals were created with accompanying action committees. Each action committee is connected to a corresponding board subcommittee thus allowing for a top to bottom alignment of services throughout the agency. A Power Point Presentation was provided to show the Reorganization Structure to the board with explanations and visual aids for the newly created Seven Centers of Excellence (Divisions). Former major divisions such as the division which housed Adult Clinical Services and Child and Family Services was split to form independent new Centers under separate Directors who could now focus attention more thoroughly in one area and thus help ensure the successful completion of their goals. Newly created positions include coordinator for public relations, research and grant writing and development/fundraising. Mr. Johnson followed the presentation with an introduction of the proposed FY09 Budget. Ms. White, who is active on the Finance Subcommittee, discussed the work that had been done in this new process. Staff and divisions were involved and that the Finance Committee continues to develop new and better methods to present the budget information. Mr. Brown discussed the information for the budget, providing a basic overview and explanations as requested. Mr. Szakos made a motion to direct the staff to research how much localities across the state contribute to their respective CSBs and that they provide that research to the Finance Committee by March and that the Finance Committee develop potential revisions to the funding formula to develop strategies to increase local government support. Ms. Barrett seconded the motion and this was approved unanimously. The motion was made to request the minimum 10 percent local contribution of each locality as suggested by state law. The motion was seconded and unanimously approved. On a motion made by Ms. White and seconded by Ms. Barrett the FY09 Budget was unanimously approved with the caveat that noted errors would be corrected. With the recommendation of the Executive Committee the Reorganization Structure of Region Ten was approved by nine ayes with one abstention from Mr. Walters. VIII. Executive Committee Mr. Szakos indicated that the fundraiser that Region Ten held last year at this time, which works in conjunction with Charlottesville Area Community Foundation (CACF), has an anonymous donor offering a 3 to 1 match up to $15,000 of their dollars. Ms. Johnston has drafted this year’s donation request letter and volunteers are needed to stuff and mail envelopes. Mr. Szakos asked all board members to provide a list of names for this direct mailing. IX. Personnel Committee X. Finance Committee XI. Public Policy & Advocacy Committee Mr. Szakos then indicated the upcoming fundraiser and asked that board members consider making individual donations. The committee is also looking into a wish list and priorities for spending the donations. The next committee meeting will be November 19th at 5:00 PM. XII.
