Discussion that primary focus is on birth to 5. Kathleen talked about KEYS being a continuum of PW focus on birth to 5. Florence talked about putting an exceptions clause – so things could come to the board for a vote. This would allow for leeway.

Policy 6: Who the request goes to. 

Florence: Who would be the fiscal agent – organization would need to decide. Would need a separate treasurer. Since we don’t have employees, would we need to hire agency to perform that function. Once we’re 501c3, and organization is making application – have to have some way of showing, 1) capable of doing fiscal management. 

Norma: For Annual meeting – we’ll email packet, and have folks print packet.

Present bylaws first, then articles of incorporation.
