She had a difficult time growing up here and has experienced violence. She noted that things have progressed but there are still a lot of opportunities for improvement. Many individuals have to hunt for resources in the area. We need a more concentrated location for services and assistance for the LBGTQ community in Joplin. Center Link connects centers around the world. We need a have a community survey (gather data to show top 3 resources that the community needs). Starting there can guide what is needed as a first step. Ron mentioned that this seems to be in line with the aims of JOMO EQ. They focus on education and support groups for all ages in the community. Their organization folded a while back and they are now focused on restarting the organization. Keep us updated on progress, if there is anything we can do to assist we would love to get a center going in Joplin. 1.

Discuss hiring a CPA to handle finances Carey contacted Liz, has not heard back Loni to contact Chamber to see if there are any options there. P. JOMO EQ Discussion – Natalie JOMO EQ is requesting temporary merger with JOMO Pride to be able to utilize the resources of the non-profit status and build up the educational and group meeting side of the organization. JOMO EQ would become a subsidiary of the Pride Board. With their committee status, they can leverage our resources to build up their organization, find meeting locations at reduced costs and start to grow again. Board was open to the idea but asked that JOMO EQ provide data about committee bylaws, contingency absorption, financial obligations and other logistics for inclusion in Pride Board. They need to clearly define their requested partnership and submit a Business Plan by the next Board meeting for consideration. Q. Spiva - Ashley B No Updates 3 . New Business
