The meeting was convened at 3:36 PM.

The agenda was to discuss progress on revising the Institutional Plan since the last meeting; deadlines for the Institutional Plan and Self Study; and what’s next in the Planning process.

Laura Rogers had emailed final drafts of Goals I, III, IV, and IX to IPC members for review prior to this meeting. She distributed copies of those four goals and Goal VI, which was completed ahead of schedule, for discussion. The Committee discussed each goal in detail and made final suggestions and edits. Though meeting time was limited, all goals were reviewed by the end of the hour. Thus, 8 of MNA’s 9 Institutional Goals have been reviewed by the IPC. Laura anticipates the final goal, Goal VIII, to be complete by early next week (July 10 or 11). She will then email Goal VIII to IPC members for review at home, and will receive suggestions and edits via email as well.

Laura will email the comprehensive Institutional Plan to all IPC members by July 17 for thorough consideration before the next IPC meeting on July 20, during which the Committee will review and approve the Plan for presentation to the Board of Trustees on August 5. This is the final meeting of the IPC, and given its importance the presence of all the IPC members is requested. Because of the size of the comprehensive document, the IPC agreed to hold a 2-hour meeting on July 20 from 2-4pm.

The upcoming deadlines were acknowledged:

And lastly the IPC reviewed a rough draft of the comprehensive Plan, focusing on appendices such as an Executive Summary and benchmarks. Robert Breunig will meet with Laura to discuss MNA’s approach to and timeline for completing these elements by July 17.

The meeting was adjourned at 4:41 PM.

Respectfully submitted,
Laura C. Rogers
