TIPS Meeting
● Introduce Kate Schelbe from CFJH
● CFJH transition
● Financials/Administration with CFJH
○ Who is doing the Admin work? Currently Admin work is done by the TCSAR Foundation. This includes cutting 4-5 checks per month (mainly for therapists), hosting meetings (and providing food), working with TIPS members on certain requests (funding for wellness baskets, specific meals/support for those affected by on “tragic events’)
○ Who's writing the checks? Currently the TCSAR Foundation cuts checks monthly
○ How are we accounting for TIPS earmarked donations and member dues? I have attached the breakdown of funding in/Funding out since 2020. Currently we have TIPS funds “classed” in quickbooks to make sure we are using funds appropriately
○ Fundraising plan - create a committee for this? I believe this is a good idea and i have some thoughts on donors to approach but would love to see more of a team effort (that includes CFJH as well)
○ Fiscal Year? Currently we’ve been operating to match the county/TCSAR Foundation (July-June) but we can change this depending on CFJH preference of steering committee preference.
● Next training: dates, topics, and organizers?
● Next meeting planners (volunteers)?
● Website use
● Tracking peer support contacts
● Discuss billing and therapist usage sessions /person (The hospital foundation brought up that they are paying therapists a certain amount and were wondering if we could somehow “match” that amount or if we could come up with a standard so that when people are creating these programs we have something to work off of.
● Onboarding new members
● Discuss steering committee roles/responsibilities
● Printing materials and IST guide pads
