November 2021 – FAB Meeting #43

Attendance: 

• 8 UB Backbone Staff (David Harrington, Kassa Belay, Athenia Rodney Danielle Augustine, Danielle Herring, Dionne Grayman, Aileen Gonzalez, Ruth Horry, Briona Clark)
• 13 FAB Members

 

Objectives:

1. Group check-in and reconnection led by Dionne 
2. Propose changes to the way UB thinks about new projects
3. Re-introduce our newly hired EI Ambassador 

 

Takeaways:

• FAB is not just an early childhood community planning body but also a community of support for its own members, and consequently when needed, time will be repurposed away from planning efforts and towards caring for one another
• UB Backbone team restructuring to elevate local leadership and create dedicated leadership position for Brick and Mortar type projects in addition to UB’s commitment for Systems-Improvement efforts
