* | * Selling toolboxes at the shop (that were initially bought for Jr. High programs). | ||
* | * Fundraiser for aspects of shop uptake is already drawing a good amount, in the first seven hours | ||
* Chris is putting together summary of revenue increase from the shop fee increases | |||
* Call for funds planned to be posted on social media strategically | |||
* LinkedIn could be good for corporate revenue fundraising (corporate sponsorship package) | |||
* Buying the rights to name things in the shop could also raise funds | |||
* Molly will add rows at the bottom of the spreadsheet for grant money | |||
** Word of caution: some grants come with associated spending so could be misleading | |||
* Document was initially created as a financial priority document; time should be spent on these areas we landed on. | |||
* Chris cleaned up the back-end for Bike Edmonton membership (including renewal reminders!!!) | |||

* Could be a parking lot to keep track of challenges that the board experiences, and the timelines that we hope to apply to them | |||
* Wouldn't want this to apply pressure that would take away from tasks assigned in individual committees (based on workplans). | |||
* This could replace workplans, putting all committees' work on a high-level in one place (in Excel format) | |||
* Sarah has volunteered to set this up; we'll trial that | |||

* Could all board members and staff could look through the logic model in the next week, please provide feedback to Helen? | |||
* A logic model is one way organizations can use to describe their program theory | |||
** Provides a systematic way to describe relationships and alignment between resources, activities, outputs, audiences, and outcomes | |||
** It outlines a pathway to a desired result or outcome | |||
* Benefits: | |||
** helps define why we do what we do | |||
** visually represents relationships in organization | |||
** clarify resources, goals, and gaps for funding | |||
* Can be organized by "If this, then that" | |||
** If this: what is within our realm of control (inputs, activities, outputs, reach) | |||
** Then That: outside of our control (immediate outcomes, intermediate outcomes, ultimate outcomes) | |||
=== Competitive Analysis - Cai (5 min) === | |||
* Has been conducting a sector review on other similar organizations to Bike Edmonton across Canada (focus on organizations that do bike programming) | |||
** This could be a good living document for our organization going in the future and valuable learning opportunity for Cai | |||
** Comparing the programs these cities offer to what programs we offer | |||
* Nearly complete the first draft, with the following preliminary recommendations: | |||
** Bike hosts - pairing up immigrants/newcomers with a more experienced rider | |||
** Stronger, more established bike programs | |||
* Big question about these programs is the financial success | |||
* Future step of this process would be to email the organizations to see how successful the programs have been | |||
** One indication of success could be how long the program has been running | |||
* Next step is to wrap up the report and presentation this week, and present that at the next meeting | |||
