In the absence of Chair Adonis Brown (who did join the meeting at the end), Nessie Siler, Vice-Chair welcomed NCCDD 5-Year State Plan Development Ad Hoc Committee (5YSPD AHC) members.
Nessie reviewed the top ranking results from the May NCCDD Member Kick-Off Session (Employment & Careers; Advocacy; Education). The 5YSPD AHC members recognized total member investment ($2,280.00) represents roughly 23 member’s contribution if distributing $100 and suggested that results analysis be considered in context of low member participation.
In addition, members emphasized the cross cutting features of many member comments.
Staff described the structure for the Listening Sessions and the role of volunteer member participants at their local session. 5YSPD AHC members described inability to attend locally scheduled listening sessions and developed plan for alternate means of conveying representation to local constituency: local NCCDD member’s names with NCCDD Office contact information will be provided to listening session attendees.
Members discussed listening session questions and agreed on deletion of part B of question three. In addition, 5YSPD AHC members expressed concern that the questions of the Listening Sessions did not match the questions in the NCCDD Surveys. The 5YSPD AHC members encouraged staff assessment of structure/questions following June 26 session and revision of features as needed.
5YSPD AHC members discussed Friday, June 12 email by NCCDD executive director about NCCDD Membership Listening Session/Survey participation. 5YSPD AHC members requested the hard copy of listening session schedule to include with an additional message to reinforce Chris’s message with examples of respective local networks to reach.
The next meeting of the NCCDD 5-Year State Plan Development Ad Hoc Committee (5YSPD AHC) is Monday, July 20, 2015 from 9:00AM to 10:15AM.
