B. Adoption of Minutes

March 11, 2015 Board Retreat Minutes Review and Approval

Andrea Ouse announced that not everyone is receiving emails through Constant Contact. Sometimes the

service sends emails to Gmail Promotions inboxes. This issue is being worked out. Each board member

should check to be sure that the contact email listed on the Board of Directors page on the website is

accurate. If you have emails, send them to Stuart Bussian and cc Erik Balsley.

Florentina Craciun motioned to approve the minutes, Erik Balsley seconded. Jeff Baker and Darcy

Kremin abstained. Motion passed.

Action Items:

Everyone: Check that your contact email at norcalapa.org/about/board-of-directors/ is up to date.

C. Awards Program Update

Florentina reminded the board that the APA California Northern Awards Gala will be next Friday, May

15, at 6:30 in Jack London Square. She encouraged everyone to attend and to spread the word about the

event. Also, if possible, she requested that board members or their colleagues purchase an extra ticket

through Eventbrite for California Planning Foundation (CPF) scholars. The Mentorship Committee is

going to have their pods attend to talk to the awardees and other professionals. Currently there are 62

people registered with an expected total registration of 75-80. Last year, they had 120 people attend, but

there were 27 awards, compared to 11 this year. This year has better relative attendance.

Andrea stated that we have announced the winners via e-blast and Facebook. She asked if there are other

avenues where we can share the news. Darcy and Naphtali Knox answered that it has been listed in the

LinkedIn Managers Choice section and it should also be tweeted. Juan Borrelli reminded everyone to

include in promotions that CM credits are pending.

There was a discussion regarding accepting electronic payments at the door. Though walk-in attendees

may be less desirable for the Awards Gala, because of the need to order dinner, the ability to easily accept

walk-in attendees is desirable for most events. Melissa Ruhl stated that she is researching Square and

other companies for the Holiday Party.

Action Items:

Board members attending the Awards Gala: Be sure to purchase tickets ahead of time.

Everyone: Advertise the Awards Gala to friends and colleagues and consider purchasing a ticket

for a CPF scholarship winner.

Melissa: Research and share findings on investing in an electronic reader, such as Square, for use

at APA NorCal events.

D. Conference Host Committee Update

Conference-at-a-Glance

Darcy announced that the Conference-at-a-Glance will be published soon. She thanked Mika and

especially Juan for their efforts. Registration will tentatively open at the end of May. The mobile

workshops will open at the time of registration, and they are likely to sell out quickly.

Sponsorship

Darcy provided an update on sponsorship totals. The Conference Host Committee (CHC) has $63,000 in

cash and a total of about $88,000 in soft commitments. She expects a boost near the end of the fiscal year.

There were discussions regarding motivations to sponsor. Sandra Hamlet asked about providing a

deadline. Darcy responded that there is a soft deadline of July 15, but the real urgency for sponsors is in

securing ideal booth locations, which are distributed on a first come, first serve basis. Erik suggested

including a link to sponsor the conference with registration.

In response to a question about contacting firms, Darcy reminded everyone to contact Jean and her before

contacting anyone. That way they can keep track of who has been contacted and/or provide information

on whether the firm has already been contact or not.

Conference Hotels

Darcy announced that the hotel block is already open and already there are only around a hundred rooms

left.

Diversity Summit

Miroo provided an update on the Diversity Summit and stated that they have some speakers confirmed.

She asked for the final deadline for all confirmed speakers, and Erik said probably in July or August, but

he would get back to her.

Publicity Committee

Erik announced that the Publicity Committee is trying for an early rollout of the app, which will have the

additional function of notifications for upcoming sessions.

The committee is also putting together the special issue of CalPlanner on the conference, and they are

seeking articles from each conference track. If you have any ideas for an article or article author, contact

Erik. The Conference-at-a-Glance will also be included in the CalPlanner issue. Naphtali volunteered to

copyedit articles before sending them to CalPlanner.

Other

Student Day – Darcy told the board that Student Day starts on Saturday morning and the Volunteers

Committee is asking past and present board members to attend in order to meet and greet the students.

She also requested volunteers for the CPF Resume Clinic.

Happy Hours – Andrea announced that the section directors will be hosting a special event at District in

Oakland. More details to follow. Darcy said that there will be a variety of events Saturday night,

including the Young Planners Group (YPG) mixer.

Action Items:

ideas.

academic excellence at planning programs throughout California. Another vitally important CPF activity is the sponsorship of workshops,

publications and other continuing educational and professional development programs. All members of APA California are automatically

members of the CPF. Although APA California members pay annual dues to belong to APA California and the national American Planning

Association, there are no separate dues to belong to CPF. Individual donors and corporate sponsors help us continue this important tradition of

supporting student planners and CPF activities.
