Excused: Carol Hinton, Jack Dustin, Christy Mauch, and Kym Yahn Tom called the meeting to order at 11:40 am. Jenny moved to approve the minutes, Keith seconded and the minutes were approved. Old Business New Council Members: Tom reported that Joe Radelet declined a seat on the NLA Community Council.

Tom will follow up with all interested parties and invite them to the October 21st Workshop Breakfast. Jennifer reported that Christy was going to follow up with David Mauch from the Boys Scouts. Proposed council members represent the diversity interests of the board. We still need to secure representation from a community development organization.
2011 - Spring Recognition Ceremony Report: Jennifer reported that the Spring Recognition Ceremony was a success and that the students raised $2000. Members provided the following: the location was good; food choice was good but delivery was lacking; we need better equipment Keith has equipment we can borrow; Nonprofit Awardees speeches were too long and should be limited to no more than two minutes; An alternate option is to have students talk about the nonprofits and have a slide show to go with it; Keith should do more singing; Recognizing nonprofits with awards was a draw because people attached to the nonprofits attended the event. The 2011-2012 Recognition Ceremony will be held on June 1st, 2012. Meeting Schedule for 2011-2012: Tom thanked council members for accommodating his request to have the meeting on September 27th. Council members voted to adhere to schedule of having meetings in the 2nd Wednesday of every other month starting in September. They are: Wednesday, November 9th Wednesday, January11th Wednesday, March 14th and Wednesday, May 9th Connecting with Local Campuses, High Schools & Agencies: Jenny offered to present information at the YMCAs College Prep Night and noted that a similar event was being held at Fifth Third Field on the 28th of September. Jennifer will inquire about WSUs participation and send brochures. Margie will present information at a Civic Engagement Presentation and Tom and Jenny will present at YMCAs Junior Leadership Dayton in April. Tom noted that Design Tech College was not a good fit for our intent of connecting with local high schools on nonprofit careers and the NLA. Sarah attended the WSU Public Service Recruiting event and used the opportunity to talk to students. She suggested that NLA secure a booth at subsequent fairs, as there was a lot of interest from social work students. The event is held in both the spring and the fall. The group will revisit the topic at the next meeting.

NLA Alumni Society Update Sarah reported that the Meet and Greet held at the Levin Family Foundation in August was fabulous. There was a good turnout and a good mix of council members, students, alumni, and faculty. Tony and Mary Johnson from the Alumni office, and Karen Levin were also in attendance and Tony did a good job of exciting the crowd. The Alumni Society will host its first Annual Wine Tasting Fundraiser at Therapy Caf on October 20th. The cost for entry is $20 (four wine tastes) and there will be an interesting silent auction as well. The Alumni Association is also working with the Student Association on the Fall Workshop on October 21st. NLA Student Association Update Brad reported that the NLA Student Association has a new executive committee. Brad is the president, Ashley Fisher is vice president, Lora Davenport is secretary and CaTia Brown is treasurer. The topics for the Fall Workshop were selected in the spring and the presenters are in place. The focus of the workshop is on Fundraising and fundraising ethics. Registrations can be processed online by linking to the program website: http://webapp3.wright.edu/web2/americanhumanics/ and clicking on the REGISTRATION LINK on the homepage. The mandatory community service for the fall is the CROPWALK against hunger in Fairborn. The Student Association is getting an early start on workshop options for the spring so that we can send out an early Save the Date. Ed made a number of suggestions: Laurie Coomb (Morgan Family Foundation) might fund break food Terry (Antioch Midwest) their Educational Service Center might be a possible site (close to Brads Office) Karen Lapinsky - If we work collaboratively with other colleges she might offer space and that would come with free parking. Brad will work with the events committee to set the agenda for the spring workshop.
