[SWANboard] FW: Facilities Committee: Communication Strategy Outline

Hello Facilities Committee, As outlined in yesterday's meeting, our "message to staff/board/membership" can be summarized as follows (let us know if you see anything to add to this list, please)- Plan for communicating to SWAN membership verbal update: * Use the March 3 Quarterly meeting to have Anne and Kristina provide an update on activities * Share the WFH two week experiment * Budget scenarios are being crafted, but not ready * Committee is meeting 3/8 * The next update to membership would be Quarterly 6/3 (or sooner, via SWANcom/special meeting if we need to move forward more quickly?) SWAN staff meeting update: * Aaron is working on budget scenario that will include a new facility with a hybrid WFH; there will be membership fees that are a low and a high to reflect full existing RAILS support and what it looks like with no RAILS support * Clarify with staff their preference for Burr Ridge vs. new space * We will outline our concerns about the existing Burr Ridge facility; it will not be a list of items that require RAILS answers, but serve as a reminder of what those issues are for our Board and membership * Committee is meeting 3/8, which after reviewing the budget will decide upon a recommendation to the SWAN Board * SWAN Board meeting is 3/18 RAILS Leadership Team email update: * Share the WFH experiment results * Aaron is working on budget that will include a new facility with a hybrid WFH; there will be membership fees that are a low and a high to reflect full existing RAILS support and what it looks like with no RAILS support [same as staff update] * Committee is meeting 3/8, which after reviewing the budget will decide upon a recommendation to the SWAN Board * SWAN Board meeting is 3/18 Thank you all for your thoughtful input and discussion yesterday!
