The proposed format of the education program would be to combine a �solutions� speaker with a �problem� speaker.� We would use this format to balance bad news with the positive.� Start in January with small local events and perhaps with experience organize a half day conference similar to Roscoe Bartlett�s energy conference, Oct, 2005.
5.�������� Tony Noerpel mission statement LCCSS1d3
Statement is too long. Otto Gutenson proposed that it should be 10 to 20 words and this was agreed.� Dave Milam made a proposal.� Will Stewart took the action to incorporate this plus existing material and propose a straw man.���
Will Stewart took the action to better define awareness and education.� George Kingsley took the action to better define outreach and networking.
6.�������� The name of the organization is too long. Eric Werling made a proposal to include the word partnership and perhaps propose a straw man to the group.� Will Stewart took the action to propose a better name.� We would then change the name of the email reflector appropriately.
7.�������� Bylaws were tabled.� Eric Werling and Tony Noerpel took the action to identify similar groups and learn from them.� Perhaps use their by-laws as a template.
8.�������� next meeting Tuesday night 7:30 PM, November 29th, 2005 at Rust Library.�
