  • We have vendors who are interested in presenting at monthly meeting but they won’t take the entire hour
  • NHSN webinars
  • Kim can post upcoming education sessions on website in many spots: as a document, google calendar. Try to have documents to Kim by the 10th of the month
  • Community Projects –open it up to thoughts from the group
  • Pt safety conference Susan has a free table I-APIC can use it to advertise
  • QUALIS health diabetes class or group offer resources on a table that is IP related – importance of HH, educational flyer, handouts on table
  • Facebook and Twitter – great way to advertise
  • claims data – focus in on certain parts of Idaho
  • Health Fairs – ISU mid-march $65; Pt Safety Conference in April; Meridian Dairy Days in May; Canyon Co fair with health and wellness expo at expo Idaho August; homeless; race or a walk present HH;
-could start out small since first year
-concerns regarding time commitments
-would need sponsorships if doing a large event – BSU doesn’t have health fairs anymore
-would need the awards committee involved if wanted to submit for an award, but is an award the best reason to do community involvement. this was brought up as a goal at the retreat
-would be fun to take a topic then look at how we reach that population e.g. YMCA has a pre-diabetes class
-needs to be a board commitment as a start
-as a non-profit need to be out in the community, maybe partner with larger organizations and volunteer with their events
-don’t want everything to occur in the treasure valley
  • Send out to the entire group to discuss
  • If qualify for an award and only missing one thing, we should complete it to qualify for – we do quality for some awards and go above and beyond with some things, need to add that service piece
  • Have to develop publications on IP
  • Applied last year for an award, won’t hear until April
  • Do we want to attach to the education session put on at beginning or end? Kim can flex time for education vs business meeting portion
  • Could also discuss at the conference planning call as well

Conference / Jessi Bond /
  • Goals, don’t have yet, will discuss at next planning call
  • JUMP too expensive
  • Boise Center has plenty of space
  • Meridian Marriott was a good space so should check on that again
  • Parking last year – only ended up being $600 instead of the $2000 that was projected
  • Once we get the venue nailed down we can start setting up the speakers and send out save the date postcards
  • Speakers updates – Terry and Kim V sent out emails to speakers

New Business / Kim Link/All / 10 min / Communication to Membership
  • secretary is main point of communication for group to send to membership, how do we break up and coordinate
  • secretary is person who presents minutes to the board
  • communication and membership committee – look at in committee
  • need specific times to sending things out? communication points during month to send out at a specific time
-minutes out the first Friday of the month send the flyer out at the same time
