ACM Planning Committee Minutes September 7, 2025

Note Taker: Ben

Date/time: September, 7, 7:00 pm

Location: Lynda’s 

Attendees: Marina, Lynda, Kerry, Lila, Ben

Feedback from the last ACM

This was the ACM where we had Kathy Elton facilitate and discussed the Discord proposal.

Quite well attended. An overall positive meeting. 

Having so many people there made a big difference. 

Some were surprised at the $300 cost for an outside facilitator. 

Having everyone attend facilitator training would be helpful so everyone understands more about facilitation.

We are also looking at a community-wide training.

What are the goals of ACM? What’s the purpose?

Planning of Upcoming ACMs

Marina has a proposal related to the farmette. Concerned about the farmette being shared & accessible for all. Has a list of issues noticed. Budgeting is also a challenge. Had a handout.
