Howdy board,
The agenda stands as it does currently. However, I wanted to let you all know I plan to propose two changes during the agenda approval portion of our meeting, to both discuss and create working groups focused on a couple issues.
First, we have been contacted by a group called TourMorgantown (part of the CVB) about using the commuter map found here http://www.bikemorgantown.com/route_map.php. They wish to incorporate the map into an interactive wayfinding service hosted on the CVB website. The map would also be featured in a blog post about the service. In our previous discussions, I remember some hesitation about this map (now a few years old) being promoted in its current state. I will propose that we form a working group to explore releasing this map and, perhaps, updating it over the next few weeks.
Second, I have been exploring tools that may be of help to both reduce the to-do email load through the bike board listserv and to automate some workflow in working groups. One such tool is called Asana https://asana.com/guide/videos. We currently track our action items through an excel spreadsheet inaccessible to most of you and cumbersome to maintain with historical notation. Creation of semi-annual, annual, biannual, and lustrum/quinquennial (every 5 years) master event and grant planning schedules has also been discussed for many months now. Tools like Asana would require a bit of training but would, in my opinion, allow significantly better management and tracking of our projects and recurring duties as we increase our goals for the board. I will propose that we form a working group to experiment with, and suggest whether we should adopt one of, these tools.
See you all tomorrow! Drew

All,
Please review the attached agenda and open action item list for next week's meeting. You'll notice that I weighted more time to our open action items to allow for more substantial discussion if time and space allows. See you all in a few days!
Best, Drew
