* Bike Edmonton Volunteer Status: | |||
** Most Bike Edmonton volunteers are spending their time during public hours in the bike shops (and even this type in lacking in numbers) | |||
** Little active recruitment of volunteers; simply post volunteer orientations | |||
** No well-developed volunteer structure or training program. Jonathan was working on a mentorship program in the shops | |||
** Outside of the bike shop, there aren't defined needs/roles, and there's little time to orient these volunteers | |||
** The shop volunteer environment might be improved with shop hosts (the non-mechanic shop volunteers). | |||
** Staff have ideas that they think will improve volunteer engagement and retention; time is not on their side | |||
* In draft revenue survey, idea came forward that it's tough to get the volunteers we need. | |||
* Staff have mentioned that when they have to fill in for volunteers, it takes away from doing their own roles. | |||
* Idea: Could tap into a different type of volunteer than we have typically recruited (i.e., post-secondary students, community league) | |||
* Idea: Create a tasklist for particular volunteer positions (to guide volunteers, for future reference) | |||
* Consider having a volunteer coordinator (who is a volunteer); Sarah has experience from her work with volunteer management programs | |||
* Steps going forward: | |||
# Find the document with volunteer engagement and retention challenges along with some "answers". | |||
# Chris and Sarah meet to discuss how to proceed, and will loop in Internal Affairs Committee | |||
* Create tasklists of things board could do, but don't have time to tackle | |||
=== Engaging with Edmonton's new Bikeshare - | === Engaging with Edmonton's new Bikeshare - Dustin (10 min) === | ||
* Report going to Council with different options for BikeShare within Edmonton | |||
* Going to recommend the option that any company can come forward, apply, and run the bikeshare in Edmonton. | |||
* How can we leverage this opportunity to promote Bike Edmonton? | |||
* Upcoming meeting with Lime BikeShare | |||
**Lime will want support of Bike Edmonton | |||
**We support BikeShare because it will increase use of and support for bike lanes | |||
**Opportunities for revenue-generating partnerships | |||
* Links to the revenue generation committee; could certify company as "bike-friendly" | |||
** Could create a partnership where they support our services and they certify their company | |||
* Since we support bike share, they could make some donations | |||
=== Board-Staff Communication and Collaboration - Jeremy (10 min) === | === Board-Staff Communication and Collaboration - Jeremy (10 min) === | ||
* Q: What's the best way for the board to communicate with staff? | |||
** Should it go through one person, each committee, any board member? | |||
* A: Happy to receive emails from the board at any point, with the caveat that spring and summer response time may be slow. Provide adequate notice. | |||
* Ability for committees to go directly to staff would increase efficiency. Could have contact through committee chairs. | |||
* Need for overview of priorities to know which requests would take higher priority. Deadlines should have already been communicated before week-before requests. | |||
* Board members need for communication back from staff when things are not prioritized. | |||
