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!
