Each one of the 10 Big Ideas has its own page. Also included is an FAQ section. Current survey questions are taken from the Video Survey. Erin is looking into the comment function for Forums. Our goal is to have it all set up by August before Erin leaves. We need to know who will monitor the site after Mia leaves. Next Steps: ➢ Content on each of the proposals, using the recently updated summaries from Frank. ▪ Status of NSP Community Liaisons Kanthi gave a presentation on plans to collaborate with the NSP Community Liaisons (see attachment). This program is part of the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, which provides community organizers who provide door-to-door outreach, lead block meetings, and work with neighborhood associations. It is affiliated with 16 community organizations. Our goal: Liaisons will share our outreach materials, help recruit volunteers, and be a spokesperson for the benefits of implementing the CEP. Discussion centered around providing only the information they need and want. Possible payment for services in the future. Next steps: ➢ Kanthi will connect with Caesar to schedule an orientation within the next two weeks. ➢ Jennifer to work on content of flyers and handouts, Mia and Erin can assist with design. ▪ June 24 Kick-off Evans provided information about attendance at the event and reviewed the survey results. 109 people attended the Zoom call, 300 watched on the ECO Facebook site, and 2,000 were reached through TMJ4 Livestream. We also received press coverage from Milwaukee NPR (interview by Susan Bence) and Milwaukee Courier (article). Next Steps: ➢ Mia and Erin will get the report from the ECO Facebook page to determine the average viewing time of the event. ➢ Martin has connections with the press, Evans will ask Martin to assist with media follow-up. The will contact TJMJ4 – to thank them and find out how they would like to follow-up. ➢ Keleske will send a Constant Contact reminder to fill out the survey, she will include an announcement to the alderpersons and ask them to post it in their newsletters. 3.

Several people have stepped up to the plate and offered to help plan events. Next Steps: ➢ Evans will follow-up with Work Group chairs with an assist from Frank t finalize the individual Summer Events Co-chairs. ➢ Evans and McAlister will insert links to the proposals. ➢ Summer Events Co-chairs will establish dates for their events. ▪ Outreach: Table Staffing Piszczek researched community events that would help us to reach a broader audience and welcome us to staff a table. These events have a consistently high volume of participants. Volunteers can staff informational tables (while enjoying the events). If it is possible to make an announcement, that would be desirable. Volunteers may stay for the entire event or staff the table for an hour or two, depending on their availability. The four series of events that he recommends are: ▪ Milwaukee Night Market ▪ Chill on the High (every Tuesday) ▪ Washington Park Wednesdays / music a moving concert ▪ Circulate Market It was agreed by the members present that this should be added to our outreach options. While we may not reach as many people at one time, it offers an opportunity for more conversation and possible volunteer recruitment. Next steps: ➢ Piszczek will put together a schedule for people to sign up. The Events Calendar and flyer mentioned above will be needed also. The importance of using Social Media was discussed. ➢ Erin is looking into setting up an Instagram account. ➢ Members are encouraged to share postings. ▪ Volunteer sign-up Omokunde, Kanthi, Mabon volunteered to co-chair Summer Events teams. Next steps: ➢ Evans will contact those not present and ask them to volunteer to co-chair a team and/or staff a table. 4.
