All members of the executive board received a folder with the agenda, minutes of September 29, 2006, meeting, directory, NWO brochure, draft of bylaws, draft of partnership agreement form, proposed budget, and copy of PowerPoint presentation. Minutes of the last meeting were read and approved with two minor corrections. Using a PowerPoint presentation, Jodi Haney reviewed NWO activities for the current year:The problem, the solution, NWO vision, NWO partners, current work and accomplishments, affiliated NWO projects, summary of average yearly funding, number of individuals actively involved in COSMOS/NWO initiatives, what’s next, and budget proposal for FY 2008. During the presentation, several discussions took place: • NWO Vision ➢ STEM: There has been a neglect of technology and engineering; also, possibly health sciences could be added as another “M” (medicine). • COSMOS Initiatives ➢ Inquiry Series: Suggested to add Praxis workshop. ➢ Research Community: Is it possible to video conference? Mary Richter noted that the Northwest RSIT uses Illuminate software, which is easy to use, for online meetings. ➢ Learning Sciences PHD proposal: Has been submitted and is being reviewed at university level.
Appendix R: Executive Board Minutes cont. • NWO Collaborative Activities ➢ Symposium: Currently, no lead person (SciMaTEC director has not been named yet). ➢ Future Teachers Conference: Not held last year because of health of coordinator. Jodi suggested that possibly available monies could be utilized throughout region to facilitate these types of activities and requested a recommendation from the board. • Affiliated NWO Projects (TeachOhio,TEAMS, REAL, RIPE, DREAMS) ➢ Mary Richter noted that due to cut in funds, there is going to be a tremendous need for professional development. Michelle Leow Klinger asked what is the best way to communicate activities with ODE, noting that getting the word out to teachers is critical. Mary had to leave the meeting at this point, but will send e-mail with her comments regarding this topic. The executive board directory was reviewed, and one addition made. Bylaws for the executive board were discussed: • Jessica Belcher, who crafted the bylaws, noted that she had used a basic template for executive boards that manage non-profit organizations, which provides a simplified structure. • Article II Purposes ➢ Mission: Add second M (medicine) to STEM. ➢ Vision: Add second M to STEM; transpose words in item (c) ➢ Goals: Add second M to STEM; change “science and mathematics” to “STEM2” in goals 2, 3, and 5. • Article III Membership ➢ Emilio Duran asked if PIs should be members of the executive board. Jodi replied that the board would become too large, but they could possibly serve on an advisory committee. ➢ Board members names are to be deleted and replaced with reference to directory. ➢ It was agreed to keep the 75% majority vote so everyone has a voice. • Article IV Power and Duties ➢ Delete “(NWO, COSMOS, SciMaTEC)” from item (4). • Article VI Order of Business ➢ Minutes are to be distributed following each meeting and also before the next meeting. • Article VII Committees ➢ Add “Non-board members may serve on subcommittees, which allows them to attend and present at executive board meetings, but they do not have voting rights.” • Article X NWO Partners and Collaborative Efforts ➢ In item (3) change “five (5) business days to vote” to “ten (10) business days to vote.” ➢ Change STEM to STEM2 throughout document. ➢ It was noted that a non-vote is the same as an abstention (neither a yes or no vote). 2 0 0 7 N W O Ce n t e r o f E xcellence • A p p e n d i x R
