Organizers announced administrative updates and next steps during the meeting, including a charter change governing member attendance, confirmation of the group's regular meeting schedule and an update on the submitted legislative report.

Rosie (organizer) summarized a charter amendment that limits unexcused absences to four for any member and encouraged members to designate alternates 24 hours before a meeting when possible.

"La legislación solo ha dado 7400 dólares para una conferencia presencial," a participant noted while discussing how legislative funding constrains conference frequency; organizers said the group can pursue additional funding from other statewide partners if members deem more frequent gatherings valuable.

The group agreed to retain the current schedule (fourth Tuesday of the month) with adjustments around holidays. Liz Thomas was named to lead an outreach subcommittee that meets Friday (1:30–3:30 p.m.) to plan outreach events and in‑person options for next year.

Regarding the group's legislative report, organizers said the report has been submitted to the governor’s office and to "CDA" (as referenced on the call) but noted the process produced "growing pains" during the first year. Members were asked to prepare policy recommendations earlier next year so internal review can close at least two months before formal submission.

Why it matters: the charter and scheduling decisions affect member participation and the group's ability to develop timely policy recommendations. The small legislative allocation for the conference was raised as a practical constraint on in‑person events.

Next steps: subcommittee planning Friday; program leads to bring conference logistics and additional funding options to the January meeting.
