Special Meeting Minutes of January 6, 2017

Attendees:   Tom Buccino,   Jason Bracich, and Jackie Silverstein (Chairman)

Minutes Taken By:   Jackie Silverstein

J Silverstein opened the meeting at 9:18 AM and noted the purpose of the special meeting was to discuss the mission statement of the EDC.

No one from the public was present for public comment.

The members discussed the need to rewrite the mission statement to accurately reflect the current focus of the EDC. In addition, members would like a mission statement that can be easily remembered.

Key questions to answer in a mission statement include:

  • What does the organization do?
  • Who does the organization service?
  • What benefits does the organization provide?

Members spent time brainstorming ideas for a new mission statement. An initial draft of a mission statement was completed and will be provided to commission members for further consideration.

The meeting adjourned at 10:45 AM.

The next regular meeting is scheduled for January 13, 2017 at 9:00 AM.
