Committees
John Schmidt
At our January Board Meeting, we decided to form a few committees to break up the work and provide engagement by all. The committees are Invasive Species, Boat Parade, Outfall, Mission Statement, and Marketing/Membership. Here is a quick summary of each.
Invasive Species – Completed a conference call meeting with our FWC biologist on April 19th. A lot of good information was shared. The primary topic was hydrilla and carp.
Boat Parade – The date was chosen to be December 12. Additional planning will take place in the third quarter. Please keep an eye on our website and Facebook page.
Outfall – The study consultants have completed their work and a final copy has been issued. We are waiting to have a meeting with the County Commissioner and the Town of Oakland to discuss the next steps.
Mission Statement – The committee came up with four emerging themes to focus on, Communication, Education, Advocacy, and Recreation. It’s important that we refine the objective and create a clear vision/purpose for the board.
