SocialServiceHumanRelationsBoard | 2009-03-26 | 3 | DRAFT UNTIL APPROVED SSHRB, Regular Meeting, March 26, 2009 Page 3 of 6 3-C. WORKGROUP PROGRESS REPORTS President Wasko announced that Items 3-C and 3-D would be combined, since they both regarding the board's Workgroups. 3-D. REORGANIZATION OF WORKGROUPS Wasko - The Workgroup process has been an important function of the board for many years. While Assessment and Awareness and Alamedans Together Against Hate (ATAH) are both standing work groups, some of our work groups have found it appropriate to spin off and become stand alone organizations. The Childcare work group spun off as Smart Healthy Babies, a 501c3, which later became the AFS New Parent Support program, and our Sister City workgroup is also in the process of becoming a separate 501c3. The Family Services workgroup has morphed a number of times, and continues to champion existing efforts in the community. SSHRB prides itself on being a working board as documented by the considerable number of volunteer hours documented each year. Open for Discussion: Discussion included the importance of collaboration, including ongoing relationships and partnering with the ACCYF, Youth Commission, and AUSD, Colleges, and the Community. Member Biggs expressed willingness to lead a new, Resource-Sharing Workgroup to help agencies and organizations maximize resources. (see attached form with assignments.) Staff noted that President Wasko and members Nielsen, Villareal, and Dailey attended the ACCYF Retreat in February, and that a SSHRB member sits on each of the ACCYF task/workgroups. (Governance, Mission Statement, Goals & Objectives, Data Collection). This representation makes for a stronger, more productive relationship between the board and the ACCYF. A motion and second (Wasko / Nielsen) to establish a Resource-Sharing Workgroup. Unanimous Member James committed to attending Youth Commission meetings and acting as a SSHRB's liaison to the Commission. A motion and second (Dailey / Biggs) that President Wasko, as Chair of the Family Services Workgroup, be appointed as SSHRB representative to the Alameda Collaborative for Children, Youth, and their Families.
