3. Ford Daley Council Leadership Training
Congrats on being on council!
You need to be aware of talking loud enough - project your voice - this is a public meeting
Leadership is not about popularity
Three jobs to be on council
Be a council member
Be on a committee
This year, there will be focus on the committees
Effective committee work is important
You can be more active than in a big council meeting
To represent your class; or at-large
Role as a council member; role = part you play
Don’t be afraid of problems
Leader = Willingness to take responsibility
4. Community Service Ad Hoc Committee
goals :
Talk and listen to students
To talk with the school board to move forward
To work with Positive Track - wants to show what community service actually is
“I would like to approve the motion to approve the community Service Ad Hoc Committee for the 2018-2019 school year”
Community was approved
5. Common Grounds Moving Persons Discussion
People had been moved by the office without them being notified
If you want to move back to your original common ground, please let us know
Council existed before common ground
Common ground had no connection with council
There are too many common grounds; it’s hard to have so many council members to be in each common ground
Council members being moved caused issues with peer leaders as well.
Do we even need council members to give reports? What about emails?
Common ground is important to build communities
Staying in the same common ground for 4 years is important; we can’t just move people around for council
It’s important to have a council member and a peer leader because each are completely different forms of leaders and both are very important
A council representative talking to people is so much more important
Communicating by people is much more effective than an email or a post of Facebook
Common ground is about community
Not necessarily about council
5. Notes and New Business
Hanover high school Improv club is requesting funds
The club was created too late in the year
$650 to cover trip to nationals and to cover the fee to call in an adviser
they need this for the basic funds; they will fundraise more of it
Currently 4 members in the club but looking in to get more members
We should get the members to come in before we make a decision
It is too much money for a club with only 4 members
This motion for funding is tabled to two weeks from now
