Billy Lassiter is holding four town hall meetings across the state to hold meetings with the community to answer questions about raising the juvenile age. Meg raised the idea of the JCPC sponsoring a town hall meeting here in Orange County and use it as an opportunity for community outreach. There isn’t a meeting being held in the central area because there has been a lot of meeting held in Raleigh lately and they wanted to give the outer-lying counties an opportunity to host. Meg will reach out to Billy to see about the feasibility of hosting one. JCPC Business Final Accounting – Reminder for funded programs to get Final Accounting in to Rebekah by August 19. July 2016 Program Payments – Funded programs should have received those payments. Conflict of Interest Forms – At the beginning of every new FY, every board member must sign a new conflict of interest form. Forms will be passed around, please complete and turn into Rebekah before you leave the meeting. Paul will bring a copy to Judge Bryan. Report on Conference/Training Opportunity – Boomerang staff went to a Motivational Interviewing conference. Motivational Interviewing is working with clients to get them to name the changes they want to see and do; it is getting them to identify their goals instead of staff telling them what needs to be done. Tami said it was a great training and is appreciative of the opportunity. Val went to the Restorative Justice in Motion Conference with practitioners from all over the world. It was a really intensive 4-day conference and she is grateful for the opportunity to attend. Sessions included: Theater of the Oppressed, Racism Stops with Me, Justice from the Heart, Mobilizing Youth as Restorative Leaders, Working with People Who Have Endured Profound Grief, was able to sit in circle to discuss how to incorporate “racism stops with me” in their communities, sat in on a private (4 people) meeting to discuss the future of restorative justice in NC, and was able to hear Chief Justice of the Navajo Nation speak about the Indigenous Restorative Justice that they have had in place for a long time. There is so much information that she learned and will be putting into practice here in Orange County. Membership Update – Jeff Reilly and Tom Velivil have moved on to new endeavors and will no longer be a part of the JCPC board. Meg will reach out to the Interim-Superintendent for the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools to ask for him to assign a new designee. We have been in contact with Cardinal about a replacement for Tom and are waiting for confirmation of who that will be. Member of Faith Community position is open and Sharron Hinton would like to recommend Kysha Thompson, a social worker at DSS with the Building Futures Program, who also happens to be a minister of Sozo Life Ministries, located behind McDonald’s in Hillsborough (across from Gateway community). The board members seem to be in agreement that she would be a good fit and Sharron will follow-up to confirm interest. And lastly, we have a new United Way Representative, Nick Allen. Announcements Family Table is currently accepting referrals for their next session which will begin around the end of September or beginning of October. They will accept referrals from Misdemeanor
