4. Sustainability

Discuss strategy for larger process, discussion and decision-making

Committees will follow up with names of potential persons to be interviewed at next meeting

Funding needs to be researched prior to 2008- to know what direction ATF will head in

Concerns exist about the timeline for applying for funding.

It was suggested that we need to think about funding/potential future of ATF sooner than early 2008

Karen would like Anjali and Stephanie to interview Rajiv and Mitch Katz

It was suggested that we look at list of interviews that were held as part of strategic plan- do those people still know we exist?

Karen told meeting about Hospital Council’s (Ron Smith) desire to support ending asthma in the A/A community- through CPMC (Martin Broadman).

Many examples exist of sustainable partnerships- especially w/in clinical community 

Should interviews be more of a dialogue with stakeholders to see where partnerships exist?

Kate thinks that the questions that exist will answer the issues of funding/partnerships/resources. Interviews are for people’s opinions- not to come forward with a concrete plan.

Karen thinks the question about “issue of asthma” should be more of asthma as an issue that overlaps with others

Karen thinks that a parallel process needs to exist with the task force to think about future projects/funding opportunities- to be modified as we get input from stakeholders.

Begin Interviews right after May 16^th

Begin financial sustainability planning now and modify as informed by stakeholder interviews

Ron Smith from Hospital Council indicated that Martin Broadman from CPMC is very interested in addressing asthma related to African American Health Disparities issues.

Karen will email enviro. Committee for suggestions, Clinical will discuss on May 21, Anjali/Stephanie will email schools committee, since no meeting May 21
