Approval of Consent Agenda A motion was made by David Ptaszek to approve the consent agenda, seconded by David Bailey. Grants Committee Wynn Radford reported the Grants Committee met on August 27 and considered the following funding proposals for recommendation to the Board: 2

3 Blue Grass Community Foundation as fiscal sponsor for Our Foundation for Morgan County $25,000. He reported the Committee voted to recommend for funding with conditions, however, since the August 27 th meeting, we ve learned the Morgan County Judge Executive has been indicted and they are regrouping and will bring back a revised proposal to the October Grants Committee meeting. Louisville Metro IKF Phase II proposal for $161,850. Recommended for funding. Northern Kentucky Independent District Health Department as fiscal sponsor for Fitness for Life Around Grant County (FFLAG) at the requested amount of $182,033 with conditions. Recommended for funding. A motion was made by Robert Slaton to receive and file the Grants Committee report, seconded by Carol Hustedde. Ambassador Committee Jim Tackett reported that the Ambassador Committee has many lengthy discussions over the last six months about how best Board and CAC members can be ambassadors for the Foundation. At the last meeting, the Ambassador Committee voted to disbann the Ambassador Committee and incorporate the ambassador role in the Board and CAC member job descriptions and form an Ad Hoc Committee that will advise staff on communications. In response to a question about the Ad Hoc Committee, Mr. Tackett stated the Committee will include persons with expertise in communications and serve as a sounding board for Doug and other Foundation staff in terms of messaging and other communication strategies. Dr. Zepeda offered a bit of history in regards to the formation and role of the Ambassador Committee stating that some founders originally felt the Foundation s model should be that of a Pritchard Committee, but for health and others felt strongly that the Foundation needed to be grantmaker and we ve always tried to marry those two roles. She reported under Board Chair, Judge Bill Engle, the decision was made to have the Program Committee and Ambassador Committee meet on the same day to facilitate synergy between those two Committees (roles). She added that the Committee developed a Power Point presentation for any Board and CAC member wanting to use it and so far, only one person has used it. Carrie McCoy added that at the time, we did not have a media person, now that we have a Communications Director, the Committee s role is less needed. Robert Slaton added that we all should be ambassadors, because if you are not going to help sell it, then don t be part of it. In response to a question about whether we are ambassadors for health or advocating the work of the Foundation and how that fits with the role of The Friedell Committee, Susan clarified by saying that an early meeting between KVH, The Friedell Committee and KIOM, focused on the roles. The outcome being that KVH works at the state wide level, and the Friedell Committee works at the local level, strengthening communities. Robert Slaton suggested tabling the issue of disbanning the Ambassador Committee pending further study. A motion to that effect was made by Gail Henson, seconded by David Ptaszek. Governance Report CAC Nominating Committee 3

4 Deborah Fillman reported that the Committee met in August and took three actions. Ms. Fillman made a motion from the Committee to recommend the following CAC Members to serve an additional term: David Bailey, MBA Director Community Benefits St. Elizabeth Healthcare County of Residence: Kenton (joined 11/13, expiring partial term) Gail Ritchie Henson, Ph.D. Professor, Director Department of Communications Bellarmine University County of Residence: Jefferson (joined 02/10, expiring first term) Carol Hustedde, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Department of Family and Community Medicine County of Residence: Fayette (joined 02/14, expiring partial term) Tim Marcum, PhD candidate Director of Planning, Baptist Hospital East County of Residence: Jefferson (joined 04/14, expiring partial term) Renee Neace Director of Health Education Kentucky River District Health Department County of Residence: Perry (joined 09/11, expiring first term) Wynn L.

5 Assistant Professor/Interim State Health Specialist Kentucky State University County of Residence: Fayette Nominated by: Self Ms. Fillman reported that the Committee recommends reducing the size of the CAC from 31 to 18 members through attrition. She added this came out of discussion brought to the attention of the Committee in regards to recent high turnover on the CAC due to lack of engagement. Mr. Slaton stated that he did not realize there was an issue with the size and that reducing the size of the CAC reduces the ability to be that army of advocates. Dr. Zepeda reported that of all the CAC s nationally, we are an outlier with 31 members, most have an average of 18. Managing a 31 member CAC and a 15 member Board is unwieldy. Ms. Shircliffe commented on the staff time and expense of operating both groups. Others made the following comments: Reducing the size will reduce the geographical diversity A smaller number will allow more opportunity to be engaged, everyone will have an opportunity to serve on a Committee which is not the case currently We believe the size of the CAC was established from the number of constituents present at the founding of the Board. The intention was to have a broad constituency Reducing the size of the CAC was brought to the CAC two years ago on the recommendation of our national consultants, was rejected at that time. The CAC is a launching ground for Board members. If your Board can t be fed with two pizzas, then your Board is too big. Appreciation was expressed to the members of the CAC Nominating Committee for their work on this issue. Robert Slaton made a motion to defer action on the size of the CAC pending further study; seconded by Eva Stone. Discussion: CAC Chair and Board Chair will work together to appoint an Ad Hoc Committee to study both issues 1) disbanding the Ambassador Committee and 2) reducing the size of the CAC. Three members opposed. CAC Director Nominating Committee Renee Neace reported on behalf of the CAC Nominating Committee, stating a motion from the Committee to recommend, Charlie Ross for a second term on the Foundation s Board of Directors. This recommendation will go to the Board of Directors and the Board will take the final action. Motion carried.
