Women's Commission Meeting Minutes
Wednesday, October 19, 2005
All Members Present
Staff Liaison: Elliott Cisneros
I. Call to order: 6:20 - The meeting was called to order by Penny. All
members were present after a short time. It was decided to change the
meeting time to 6:30-8:30 to better accommodate member's schedules.
II. Minutes Approval - The Commission decided to wait until the November
meeting to approve the minutes from last month as several folks had not
read through them and a copy was not available. Elliott will make copies
available at the November meeting.
III. Announcements:
IV. Old Business
• The need for a server list to communicate Commission information
periodically was established. Karen agreed to pursue this.
• It was decided a letter to Council in support of the part time operation of
Human Rights would be written by Beth with support from Elliott
• Discussion on the Award's banquet and essay contest. Barbara will
contact Ms. Marsh with PSD to ask about the workability/value of the
contest. Other ideas were discussed but further exploration will be
needed before making a final decision.
• Concern was expressed about the amount of work involved in the Award's
Banquet and whether the "pay-off' justified the means and matched with
the goals of the commission. Beth agreed to speak with Melissa Selby at
the Women's Resource Center to find out the plan for this coming year.
• The idea of presenting the Marcille N. Wood Award at a function other
than Women's Award Night was discussed as a possible option.
