What we did well: street market, LAPP, membership (800 members! soon to be 1000), choosing Ivan who is a stellar organizer, good at taking input form everyone.
Challenges: Fight for the ten sites and needed resident controlled 5000 units. Men will have to ensure safety for women. We need increased participation by all board members or please give someone else a chance if you can not participate.
5. VISIONNING PROCESS
Small groups format and written reporting to be typed and brought to next meeting.
TOPICS: Last year’s planned two campaigns: Ten Sites and Restaurant Justice Campaign/Zones of exclusion project. Which campaign was actually worked on? Historic Area Height Review, Lapp, 10 sites, Sequel 138, housing above library, street market, George Mosley, SRO task force, Hotel union organizing, the Wonder palace, the York, Chinatown fight, supporting VANDU to slow down speed.
What inspired you most, what frustrated you most, what should we continue in 2012.
How can DTES NC board be improved, how to get more people involved.
