<br />Bouma and Kaufman supported that process as members of the Communications <br />Committee. <br /> <br />Monast also said he’d be happy for the Communications Committee to take the first pass <br />and said that a high-profile speaker may not have the same effect of keeping people <br />participating on an online event. He recommended that we match the speaker to the goals <br />of the event. <br /> <br />Kaufman then recommended a speaker that sticks to the art-of-the-possible and positive <br />solutions, instead of someone who focuses on the negative. <br /> <br />Hansley-Mace then said that the Sierra Club events have taken a big hit in participation <br />once everything moved online. 50 people in the audience might not be realistic. She would <br />be fine if one of the Council members might be the speaker. <br /> <br />Trueblood recommended that young voices and EJ speakers are also compelling voices and <br />agreed with the idea of making sure we are representing the Council’s work. <br /> <br />Marcoplos said that the Communications committee would synthesize these ideas and <br />come back with recommendations potentially having a separate open meeting if needed. <br />The Council agreed. <br /> <br />VII. Adjournment – Marcoplos asked for a motion to adjourn the meeting and this was provided <br />by Hansley-Mace and seconded by Slade. The Council voted unanimously to adjourn the <br />meeting at 4:35pm. <br /> <br />
