  1. Approval of Minutes from October 11, 2017, Committee Meeting

  1. 2016-17 Committee Goals/Rubric/Logic Model
  2. Update on the rubric – feedback from members
  3. Review of ILC/Member chart for SILC liaison activities

Committee members discussed the importance of keeping in touch with the centers, especially in relation to bringing more resources into the ILC community.

Committee members volunteered to keep in touch with additional centers. Ms. Aguirre will keep in touch with Disability Community Resource Center (DCRC), Ms. Anderson volunteered to keep in touch with FREED Center for Independent Living and Community Resources for Independent Living, and Mr. Mendoza volunteered to keep in touch digitally with Northern California centers while the SILC works to recruit members from the area.

After further discussion, it was decided that it would be better for SILC members who are employed by an ILC to connect with other ILCs. Members recommend Ms. Hinze and Mr. Mendoza switch centers, and Ms. Anderson and Mr. Soto switch centers.

Committee members identified several action items to move forward with this task. This includes creating a rubric item to include ongoing monitoring of the SILC Member/ILC partnerships. Ms. Bazyn and SILC staff will work together to draft an email to SILC members explainingthe purpose and including the updated list. The Governance Committee will develop a document to help guide members in their communication with ILCs, and it was suggested that the mentoring manual may be a helpful resource. At the April 2018 SILC meeting, the Governance Committee would like SILC Members to report out on their progress and outcomes and possibly provide further training on developing and maintaining these relationships.

  1. Update on SILC Policies and Procedures
  2. Approve new SILC Indicators language and recommend to full council

Governance committee members reviewed proposed changes to the SILC Policy and Procedures manual to bring it in line with the new Administration on Community Living (ACL) SILC Standards and Indicators. Ms. Anderson made a motion to approve the changes, and Ms. Schaedle seconded the motion. This passed unanimously with a roll call vote.

  1. Review draft of Social Media Policy (see C and C Committee Tab)

Governance committee members reviewed and discussed the draft of the SILC Social Media Policy drafted by the C and C committee. Committee members agreed that due to differences in preferred language between members of the disability community, rather than stating that “person-first language” should be used when referring to people with disabilities, they would like to see “respectful disability language”.

Ms. Schaedle made a motion to endorse the policy with a change to “respectful disability language”, and Ms. Aguirre seconded the motion. This passed unanimously with a roll call vote.

  1. Recruitment
  2. Results from gaps analysis (desired traits spreadsheet)

Members reviewed the current SILC member trait spreadsheet, and Ms. Anderson requested that it be resent to her.

Governance committee members recommend a Northern California meeting in July or August of 2018. The Central Coast Center for Independent Living (CCCIL) and Marin Center for Independent Living (MCIL) both have programs dealing with homelessness and housing, and Governance Committee members would like presentations on those programs.

SILC staff will research hotels and meeting space in the area that are available at state rate during those times.
