II. 10:22am TSC Logistics

III. 10:26am TBA's role in excellence in the field
· TBA is in the middle of strategic planning. Extremely exciting work happening around this currently.
· Should TBA foster “excellence in the field”? And how?
· Possibly as a conference theme.
· “Excellence” is meant to mean whatever each company or individual determines as excellent for himself/herself (outreach, innovation, customer service, etc.).
· Should TBA hold or sponsor an award ceremony to reward excellence in the field? TSC members discuss.
· Excellence of arts education should be addressed and rewarded as well. Because it’s not in public, it would be interesting to know about those little successes in the classroom.
IV. 11:19am Focus Group
· TSC Members serve as a focus group for a new program.

Next meeting: December 16, 10am -12noon. Location: New TBA offices, 1663 Mission St., Suite 525.
