Executive Board Conference Call
\n<\/strong>August 5, 2008<\/strong>
\n2:30 ET<\/strong>
\nMinutes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Present: Cleve Callison, Christina Kuzmych, Dorie Vallillo, Jon Schwartz, Al Bartholet\u00a0 Scott Hanley, guest<\/p>\n

Registration Protocols for Fall PRIMA\/NPR Meeting<\/strong><\/p>\n

The registration issues concerning the hotel have been ironed out.\u00a0 However, it\u2019s not clear as to how the NPR sign-up works, particularly affecting PRIMA registrants.<\/p>\n

Christina will remind Page to include the PRIMA.org link.\u00a0 Will also send another mail blast to PRIMAtes.<\/p>\n

PRIMA Pittsburgh Activities<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scott Hanley provided a description of the hotel.\u00a0 Turn-of-century building by Frick. Lawrence Welk first used his bubble machine in this hotel.\u00a0 There are a ton of elevators. Food is good.\u00a0 Walking distance to shopping.\u00a0 No sales tax on clothes.<\/p>\n

Training module speakers:\u00a0 Scott will talk to members of Leadership Pittsburgh on Thursday.\u00a0 They may have some interesting speakers on the topic of leadership for non-profits.<\/p>\n

Event: PRIMA visited the Warhol Museum in 1994.\u00a0 Also offered a picnic at the transmitter site.\u00a0 This was a popular activity with the last conference members. Provides interesting ride and view.<\/p>\n

A reception at just about any place we want.<\/p>\n

We can also plan an activity for Wednesday.\u00a0 However, since Wednesday belongs to NPR, we should consult with them.<\/p>\n

Christina will keep in touch with Scott to finalize plans.\u00a0 Scott presented airport travel options.<\/p>\n

Conference Session Planning<\/strong><\/p>\n

Christina sent a conference planning draft.<\/p>\n

Cleve reminded that there are several controversial issues:\u00a0 governance, dues, collaborative fundraising.\u00a0 These may be presented on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Group decided to include opportunities for PRIMA discussions.\u00a0 The conference plan will be refined.<\/p>\n

We will need to get more information from Dana and Page as to NPR session content.<\/p>\n

On a related topic, Cleve reported that he received an inquiry from an NPR board member to sign a petition to get the NPR By-Laws change on the ballot before the membership.\u00a0 Cleve indicated that as PRIMA President he needed to decline, so as not to leave the perception that PRIMA is supporting a By-Laws change.<\/p>\n

PRIMA board members need to be present in PRIMA Suite from 9 p.m. on.\u00a0 This helps to create momentum and attendance.<\/p>\n

Planning for February meeting in San Antonio<\/strong><\/p>\n

The February meeting will be planned for PRIMA only.\u00a0 Dorie reminded that PRIMA voted to hold one meeting in conjunction with NPR, and one apart from NPR.<\/p>\n

The group supported the February 4 to 6 dates.\u00a0 Knowing that it\u2019s a PRIMA-only meeting will allow for planning with Dan Skinner\u2019s staff.<\/p>\n

David Liroff and John Sutton are two possibilities for guests.\u00a0 Speakers from CPB should also be included in this meeting, since we won\u2019t have any CPB reps at the Pittsburgh meeting.<\/p>\n

Decision was made to start negotiating with the hotel with the February 4 to 6 dates.<\/p>\n

Agenda Items for Business Meeting<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nominating report.\u00a0 Tim Eby has agreed to be on committee; Regina Dean, Jay Pierce. Cleve still needs to find two more members for the committee to satisfy by-laws requirements.<\/p>\n

PRIMA may need to discuss formal responses to any of the NPR initiatives.<\/p>\n

Other items are encouraged.\u00a0 Please send to Cleve.<\/p>\n

The CPB decision to add 10 more stations needs to be discussed.\u00a0 Will there be a reduction for other stations?\u00a0 This should be discussed at meeting.<\/p>\n

Next Conference Call<\/strong><\/p>\n

August 26 was proposed. This is one week earlier, to enable the group to make last-minute decisions prior to September.<\/p>\n

Adjourned<\/strong><\/p>\n

3:15 p.m. ET<\/p>\n

Submitted by Christina Kuzmych for Dan Skinner<\/p>\n
