CFM Advisory Board Meeting Minutes August 21, 2005 Page 2 Committee Reports: Facilities: Bill Terrell The Museum lobby and store plan is moving along very well. Some minor changes were
made, but nothing that alters the plan. Scheduling and costing is the next step in execution of the master plan. The lobby renovation, planned for this winter, will not interfere with
the 2006 Gala. Task Group on Annual Funding: John Haley The task force met on August 22, 2005. The meeting consisted of brainstorming rather than a structured meeting. Capital campaign,
membership and more concentration on targeting organizations and corporations were emphasized. Need good up-to-date database of donors, members, etc. There is a need for a Museum business
plan, more structured financial accounting and a case statement. No concrete decisions were made at the August meeting. Task Group on Governance: Don Fishero Discussed pros and cons
of a combined board, and decided that would not be a good direction. The 501(c)3 Board need greater autonomy to pursue fundraising successfully. Summary statement is attached. Nancy
Pritchett asked that second paragraph be amended to remove “…..when all is well……” Museum Update: Ruth The Museum will be at full staff when Nancy comes on board in October. A report
