[Mayor’s Youth Council on March 18, 2025.]
[00:00:11]
ALRIGHT EVERYONE, SO WE'LL GO AHEAD AND GET STARTED NOW.
AND I'D LIKE TO SAY GOOD EVENING TO EVERYONE.
UM, SO TONIGHT, UH, WE WOULD LIKE TO START, UM, TONIGHT'S MEETING WITH A MOMENT OF SILENCE TO REFLECT ON THE LIFE OF CONGRESSMAN AND FORMER HOUSTON MAYOR, SYLVESTER TURNER.
CONGRESSMAN TURNER DEDICATED HIS LIFE TO PUBLIC SERVICE, LEAVING BEHIND A LEGACY OF LEADERSHIP, SPIRIT OF RESILIENCE, AND UNWAVERING COMMITMENT TO THE PEOPLE OF HOUSTON.
HIS IMPACT IS SEEN IN THE POLICIES HE CHAMPIONED, THE COMMUNITIES HE UPLIFTED, AND THE COUNTLESS LIVES HE TOUCHED.
CONGRESSMAN TURNER'S LEGACY WILL CONTINUE TO INSPIRE FUTURE GENERATIONS AND HIS IMPACT ON OUR CITY AND BEYOND WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
AS A STATE REPRESENTATIVE, AS MAYOR OF HOUSTON AND AS A MEMBER OF CONGRESS, HIS DEDICATION TO SERVICE AND COMMUNITY REMAINS A GUIDING LIGHT FOR US ALL.
THE MAYOR'S YOUTH COUNCIL WILL LIKE TO EXTEND OUR HEARTFELT CONDOLENCES TO HIS FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND ALL WHO WERE TOUCHED BY HIS REMARKABLE LEADERSHIP.
PLEASE STAND AND JOIN ME IN A MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR REFLECTION AND RESPECT FOR THE LIFE OF CONGRESSMAN SYLVESTER TURNER.

SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THE PROJECT SINCE, BECAUSE MYC IS HOSTING THIS EVENT.
AND, UM, NOT SAYING THAT, YOU KNOW, I DIDN'T PUT THE WORD MANDATORY.
I DON'T LIKE TO PUT USE THE WORD MANDATORY, BUT, UM, THIS WILL BE AN EVENT THAT WILL DEFINITELY BE REQUIRED FOR THE MAYOR'S YOUTH COUNCIL.
SO PLEASE START CHECKING YOUR, YOUR SCHEDULES.
LET ME GIVE YOU THE TENTATIVE DATE.

AND I'LL GIVE YOU, I'LL GET CONFIRMATION FOR SURE ON THE DATE AND GET IT OUT TO YOU ALL ASAP SO YOU CAN CHECK YOUR SCHEDULES AND, AND MAKE SURE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN PARTICIPATE, UM, IN.
BUT AGAIN, WE WOULD JUST NEED A COMMITTEE TO HELP WITH, UM, YOU KNOW, T-SHIRT DESIGN, UH, TO HELP WITH TASK.
AND WE'VE ALREADY DECIDED THAT THIS WILL BE A NATURE PROJECT.
SO THIS WILL BE AN EVENT WHERE YOU ALL, UM, GO TO VARIOUS MULTI UH, SERVICE CENTERS AND WORK, UM, IN THE, UM, GARDENS.
AND SO DEPENDING ON YOUR PREFERENCES FOR WHERE YOU LIVE AND, UH, THE NEEDS FOR THE CENTERS, UH, WILL DECIDE ON THE TEAMS. SO THAT'S, RIGHT NOW, THAT'S WHERE WE ARE IN THE PLANNING.
DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS EVENT SO FAR? ANYTHING THAT MAYBE WE ARE NOT, WE DIDN'T THINK OF BEFORE? ANY DISCUSSION? NONE.
ALRIGHT, LET ME MAKE SURE I'M NOT LEAVING ANYTHING OUT FOR THIS.
SO I'D LIKE TO, I KNOW WE DON'T HAVE A QUORUM AND SO I I, WE ALSO DON'T HAVE EVERYONE HERE TONIGHT, BUT I'D LIKE TO SEE SHOW OF HANDS IN THE ROOM WHO WOULD LIKE TO BE ON THE, UH, PLANNING COMMITTEE FOR THIS EVENT.
CAN WE RE UH, SECRETARY, CAN WE GET THOSE NAMES? OKAY.
AND I'LL EMAIL EVERYONE ELSE TO SEE IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PLANNING PART OF THIS.
UM, YOU ALL PARTICIPATED IN THE PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURE TRAINING, UM, AT THE LAST MEETING.
AND SO WE MENTIONED DURING THAT MEETING THAT THERE IS A CERTIFICATION, UM, THAT IS BEING OFFERED FROM, UH, MS. SUSAN LAHEY AND HER ORGANIZATION, UH, FOR
I REMEMBER THAT JOKE, UH, FOR, UM, UH, MAKING PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURE SIMPLE BASICALLY.
SO I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU ALL WHEN YOU HAVE TIME, UH, TO BE ABLE TO LOG INTO THE PORTAL AND, AND GET ON THE PORTAL AND LOG IN AND DO THE COURSE AND GET YOUR CERTIFICATE.
SHE HAS CERTIFICATES THAT SHE WOULD LIKE TO SEND ALL OF YOU, UH, FOR GETTING THE COURSE COMPLETED.
SO IF YOU CAN MAKE SURE YOU LOG IN AND COMPLETE THAT.
UM, IT'S A PART OF THE, UM, DEPARTMENT OF NEIGHBORHOODS RESOURCE PORTAL AND YOU'LL GET A CERTIFICATE WHEN YOU COMPLETE THE COURSE.
AND IT'S NOT REALLY A LONG COURSE, IT'S JUST, UH, IT'S A BRIEF COURSE AND SOME OF THE INFORMATION THAT YOU LEARNED, UM, IN THE TRAINING.
OKAY? SO MAKE SURE YOU CAN DO THAT AND I'LL SEND OUT ANOTHER EMAIL REGARDING, UM, THE DON RESOURCE PORTAL.
BUT DID EVERYONE GET THEIR LOGIN FOR THAT? YOU REMEMBER SEEING THAT IN YOUR EMAIL? EVERYBODY? OKAY.
ANOTHER ANNOUNCEMENT WE HAVE, UM, THE LEADER, HER, UM, THE LEADER FOUNDATION, UM, IS HAVING THEIR SPRING CONFERENCE.
AND THIS REALLY IS GEARED FOR THE YOUNG LADIES THAT ARE MEMBERS OF MAYOR'S YOUTH COUNCIL.
SO THIS PARTICULAR ORGANIZATION IS AN ORGANIZATION THAT, UM, THEY WORK IN THE ADVANCEMENT OF AT-RISK FEMALES, UH, THROUGH EDUCATION AND MENTORSHIP.
AND SO, UH, FOR THE YOUNG LADIES OF MAYOR'S YOUTH COUNCIL, UH, WE'VE BEEN INVITED TO THE SPRING CONFERENCE AND BEEN INVITED TO HELP WITH THE SPRING CONFERENCE AND PROVIDE ASSISTANCE, UM, IN TERMS OF, UM, IDENTIFYING, UM, ONE-ON-ONE MENTORING, UM, PEER MENTORSHIP, UH, THROUGH THE PROGRAM.
SO I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU ALL THAT INFORMATION AND BE LOOKING FOR AN EMAIL, UH, REGARDING THIS, THIS CONFERENCE.
THE TENTATIVE DATE FOR THIS CONFERENCE IS MAY 17TH, JUST SO YOU CAN PUT THAT INFORMATION IN YOUR NOTES IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE.
[00:10:01]
SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE REALLY LOOKING FOR, UM, VOLUNTEERS, UH, FEMALE VOLUNTEERS FROM THE MAYOR'S YOUTH COUNCIL.ONE OF THE OTHER, UM, YOU KNOW, I'D MENTIONED THAT ALL OF THE COMMITTEES ARE WORKING ON, UH, THEIR VARIOUS PROJECTS ON THE MAYOR'S YOUTH COUNCIL.
SO, UM, ONE OF THE PROJECTS THAT WE'RE WORKING ON, UH, FOR THE, AND I'LL LET YOU MISHA, TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT IT LATER WHEN YOU PROVIDE YOUR UPDATES.
UM, BUT I WANTED TO, UM, JUST KIND OF GET A SUMMARY SO THAT WE ALL ARE ON THE SAME PAGE IN TERMS OF, UM, EVENTS THAT ARE TAKING PLACE IN THE SPRING SO THAT WE'RE, WE'RE NOT TOO OVERLOADED.
WE KIND OF UNDERSTAND EXACTLY, UH, WHICH EVENTS ARE, ARE, ARE COMING UP ON THE CALENDAR AND YOU ALL ARE, ARE AWARE.
SO THE MENTAL HEALTH COMMITTEE, UH, THERE ARE A COUPLE THINGS THAT WE'VE DISCUSSED, UM, IN TERMS OF MENTAL, UM, HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH.
SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAD TALKED ABOUT WAS PUTTING TOGETHER A PODCAST SERIES, UM, A PODCAST, JUST TWO EPISODES, UM, REALLY FOR, UM, A PODCAST, ONE EPISODE BEING MENTAL HEALTH TOPIC.
AND THEN THE SECOND CAN BE, UH, VOTER EDUCATION TO COREY, JUST FOR YOUR COMMITTEE.
SO THOSE COULD BE THE TWO DIFFERENT EPISODES AND I WANTED TO BRING IT TO, UH, THE COUNCIL SO I CAN GET YOUR FEEDBACK.
UH, AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT DOING THE PODCAST AND DOING THE PODCAST WITH TWO EPISODES AND GET YOUR THOUGHTS.
ANY THOUGHTS, DISCUSSION? NO, IT'S, IT SOUNDS GREAT.
AND SO, BECAUSE YOU KNOW, WE ARE, UM, LIMITED IN TIME BEFORE YOUR TERM, UM, UM, EXPIRES IN, IN, UM, JU AT THE END OF JUNE, UM, I THINK THAT IF WE CAN GET, WE ALREADY ARE GETTING INFORMATION AND HAVE A COMMITTEE, THE MENTAL HEALTH COMMITTEE, UH, TOGETHER FOR, UM, THE PODCAST FOR THE MENTAL HEALTH EPISODE.
UM, SO IF WE COULD GET YOUR COMMITTEE, UM, TO COREY ON WORKING ON SOME TOPICS FOR VOTER EDUCATION, THAT WOULD BE GREAT SO THAT WHEN WE GO TO DO MENTAL HEALTH, WE CAN ALSO FILM VOTER EDUCATION.
SO JUST, UM, SOMETHING FOR YOUR COMMITTEE AND, UM, UH, WHEN IS YOUR NEXT COMMITTEE MEETING? DO, DO YOU HAVE IT WRITTEN DOWN TO COREY BY ANY CHANCE? IF YOU DON'T, THAT'S OKAY.
SO I'LL EMAIL YOU, UM, ON THAT.
UM, ANY DISCUSSION ABOUT PO THE PODCAST SERIES? UM, TWO DIFFERENT COMMITTEES WORKING ON THOSE.
WHERE'S, WHERE'S IT RECORDED? IS IT RECORDED HERE? SO, LAST TIME, OH, AND I SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED THAT.
SO THIS WAS RECORDED AS A DISCUSSION, UM, MAYOR'S YOUTH COUNCIL DISCUSSION, I BELIEVE LAST YEAR.
UM, IT WAS, UM, UM, REC ON THE, UH, HERE IN THIS, UH, ANNEX.
UM, SO I DO BELIEVE THAT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO THE SAME.
AND SO MR. GREEN HAS BEEN, UH, GETTING INFORMATION IN TERMS OF, UM, MAYOR'S YOUTH COUNCIL BEING ABLE TO UTILIZE A STUDIO.
SO THAT'S, UM, THAT'S IN THE WORKS.
BUT I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE, UM, JUST THAT YOU ALL KNOW THAT WE'D WANT TO BE ABLE TO, THOSE ARE REALLY TWO COMMITTEES THAT, NOT THAT THE OTHER COMMITTEES ARE NOT IMPORTANT, BUT THOSE ARE REALLY IMPORTANT COMMITTEES, MENTAL HEALTH AND VOTER EDUCATION.
SO THOSE ARE THE TWO THAT WE ARE HIGHLIGHTING FOR, UH, THE PODCAST SERIES.
ALSO, UM, IN MAY FOR MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH, UH, WE HAVE THE WELLNESS PROJECT FOR THE INSPIRATIONAL CARDS.
AND SO NOW WE'RE STILL NEEDING TO GO BACK AND DO A LITTLE BIT MORE RESEARCH ON THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT, UM, BECAUSE WE NEED CARDS IN BULK AND SO CARDS, UM, CAN BE QUITE EXPENSIVE ON AMAZON FOR ONLY 20 OR 25 CARDS.
SO, UM, I'VE REACHED OUT TO SOME NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, UH, TO GET, UM, POSSIBLY GET CARDS PROVIDED TO THE COUNCIL, UM, FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT.
AND ALSO IT WOULD BE GREAT TO HAVE CARDS IN SPANISH AS WELL.
SO WORKING ON THAT, AND I'LL LET MISHA UPDATE YOU, UM, IF YOU HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THAT WHEN YOU PROVIDE YOUR UPDATES.
MISHA, UM, ALSO WITH, UH, FOR THE MENTAL HEALTH COMMITTEE, THE SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN.
SO THE SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN, UM, WILL BE, WILL INCLUDE, UM, IMAGES INFORMATION ON THE MAYOR'S YOUTH COUNCIL, UH, INSTAGRAM CHANNEL, UM, AS WELL AS RESOURCES THAT WILL BE PROVIDED TO THE COMMITTEE FOR YOU TO TAKE TO, YOU ALL CAN DECIDE WHICH SCHOOLS YOU WOULD LIKE, UH, TO TAKE THOSE MATERIALS TO SO THAT THEIR COUNSELORS CAN POST THIS, UH, THESE MATERIALS AT, AT THEIR SCHOOL.
SO WE HAVE THOSE MATERIALS, UH, FOR YOU AS WELL FOR THE MENTAL HEALTH COMMITTEE.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT, UM, ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH? ONE MORE THING.
[00:15:01]
THE DATE FOR NAMI WALKS IS MAY 17TH.AND SO WE WILL NEED A COMMITTEE TO HELP.
LAST YEAR WE DIDN'T, WE ONLY BROUGHT A FEW SIGNS.
UM, WE REALLY DIDN'T HAVE, UM, WE REALLY WOULD LIKE MORE SIGNS THIS YEAR AND IT PROBABLY WILL BE OUTDOORS.
I DIDN'T LOOK AT THE ED, THE LOCATION FOR IT.
I DID SEE, UM, THAT IT WAS SAM HOUSTON PARK.
SO IT'S OUTDOORS WEATHER PERMITTING, I'M SURE, UM, FOR THIS EVENT.
SO NAMI WALKS WILL BE ON MAY 17TH, UM, AT 8:30 AM AND WE DO NEED A COMMITTEE, UM, TO COME TOGETHER BEFORE THEN AND HELP WITH MAKING MOTIVATIONAL SIGNS FOR THOSE THAT ARE PARTICIPATING IN THE WALK.
SO, ONCE AGAIN, CAN WE GET A SHOW OF HANDS THAT ARE HERE AND I'LL SEND AN EMAIL OR ON SLACK FOR, UH, THOSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE IN MAKING SIGNS AHEAD OF NAMI WALKS? I'LL MAKE A SIGN.
UM, ER YOU DON'T, WE DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO CONVENE TO MAKE THE SIGNS SOMETIMES IF YOU JUST WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A SIGN AND THEN BRING IT WITH YOU TO NAMI WALKS, THAT WOULD BE GREAT TOO.
WAIT, JUST CLARIFYING, THAT'S THE MENTAL HEALTH ORGANIZATION.
THANK YOU FOR YES, THAT IS, UH, MENTAL HEALTH, UM, NATIONAL ALLIANCE OF MENTAL HEALTH, UM, ORGANIZATION.
ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT PARTICULAR EVENT? OKAY, GO AHEAD.
NO, SORRY, I JUST DROPPED THE PHONE.
SO I WANTED TO GO BACK AND TALK ABOUT THE YOUTH GLOBAL SERVICE EVENT.
SO, UH, THE ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE COMMITTEE, WE HAD ORIGINALLY PLANNED TO HAVE SOME SORT OF, UH, SIMILAR LIKE CLEANUP TO THE ONE THAT WE HAD, UH, FOR THE GATOR SERVE ON MLK DAY IN LIKE MID TO LATE APRIL.
AND WE HAD SET A DATE APRIL 13TH, BUT THEN I LIKE RECENTLY HAD A, UH, LIKE, WELL, LIKE MY PARENTS SAID, I'M GONNA FLY OUT AND GO VISIT MY GRANDMA I SEE.
I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO LIKE GO AND A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE ALEX JUST TOLD ME AND LIKE, THERE PROBABLY OTHERS ARE NOT ABLE TO ATTEND ANYMORE ON THAT DATE.
SO I WAS GONNA ASK IF THE, WHICH DATE JUSTIN? THE APRIL 13TH.
APRIL 13TH AND THEN APRIL 20TH IS EASTER.
AND THEN LIKE, I DON'T KNOW, LIKE APRIL 6TH IS PROBABLY LIKE TOO SHORT NOTICE, BUT I WAS THINKING WOULD THE ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE COMMITTEE BE ABLE TO LIKE, KIND OF LEAD THE GLOBAL SERVICE EVENT INITIATIVE? ESPECIALLY IF IT'S GARDEN FOCUSED? I, I I WAS THINKING THAT EXACT THING.
UM, JUSTIN, THAT WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA.
UM, 'CAUSE THAT, THAT KIND OF LIKE HELPS US BOTH.
LIKE WE HAVE A SERVICE PROJECT THAT LIKE, BASICALLY EVERYONE HAS TO ATTEND MM-HMM
SO IT'LL BE PRETTY SUCCESSFUL HOPEFULLY.
AND IT'S ENVIRONMENTALLY THEMED.
I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING.
THAT COULD BE, UM, YOUR COMMITTEE'S PROJECT AND SO THEN YOU CAN GET ALL OF THE VOLUNTEERS, UH, TOGETHER AND WE'LL WORK, UM, WE'LL WORK TOGETHER, UM, TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL, EVERYTHING THAT WE NEED FOR, UH, THIS SERVICE DAY IS, IS COMPLETED.
AND WE'RE WORKING WITH MR. AGUILAR FROM VOLUNTEER INITIATIVES, UM, PROGRAM AS WELL.
SO, AND IN ADDITION TO, I'M WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM, UM, YPAC AND I KNOW FOR SURE THAT CITY OF HOUSTON YOUTH AMBASSADORS WILL BE PARTICIPATING.
UM, SO YOU'LL, WE'LL HAVE PLENTY OF VOLUNTEERS, SO THAT'S REALLY GOOD AND WOULD BE A GREAT PROJECT FOR YOUR COMMITTEE.
SO I KNOW YOU ALL HAVE SEEN THE UPDATES.
MARY, I'M NOT SURE IF SHE CAN HEAR US OR IF SHE'S ONLINE, BUT THE EDUCATION EQUITY COMMITTEE, THEY'RE DOING A GREAT JOB AS WELL ON GETTING THE, UH, YOUTH COLLEGE READINESS, UH, GUIDE COMPLETED.
AND SO I'M SURE AT SOME POINT WE'LL BE ABLE TO GET AN UPDATE ON THAT, UM, PROJECT.
I'M SURE THAT IT WILL BE, I THINK THE LAST, LAST CHECK THEY WERE GETTING, UM, DESIGNS TOGETHER AND GETTING, UH, WORKING WITH GETTING WITH PUBLISHERS TO BE ABLE TO GET IT COMPLETED.
UM, SO WE'LL GET AN UPDATE FROM MARY, UM, WHEN WE NEXT, UH, SEE HER FOR AN UPDATE ON THE, UM, YOUTH COLLEGE READINESS GUIDE.
ANY QUESTIONS? ANYONE SUBMIT INFORMATION FOR THAT? THAT'S HERE.
ANYONE SUBMIT SUMMARIES? YOU ALL DID.
AND SUE, WHO IS NOT HERE, BUT I DID INCLUDE, UM, THIS ON THE AGENDA, THE YOUTH TRIVIA NIGHT.
NOW AGAIN, I KNOW WE HAVE SEVERAL PROJECTS, SPRING IS HERE, SO WE MAY NOT HAVE TIME, BUT I DID WANNA BRING IT TO THE COUNCIL FOR DISCUSSION.
SO I'LL LET YOU ALL DISCUSS WHETHER OR NOT I WISH SUHO WAS HERE, BUT 'CAUSE BECAUSE HE HAD ASKED FOR, UH, THIS EVENT, UH, TO BE, UM, TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THIS EVENT AGAIN THIS YEAR, UM, AND BE ABLE TO DO A LITTLE BIT MORE, UM, PROMOTING FOR THE EVENT.
SO HE'S NOT HERE, BUT DO YOU ALL HAVE ANY THOUGHTS ON YOUTH TRIVIA NIGHT? JUST THINK MAYBE THIS COULD BE SOMETHING THAT COULD, AFTER THE GLOBAL
[00:20:01]
YOUTH SERVICE DAY, YOU CAN ALL COME TOGETHER AND HAVE, UH, THIS YOUTH TRIVIA NIGHT, ESPECIALLY AFTER WORKING WITH THE OTHER YOUTH PROGRAMS. SO ANY THOUGHTS? I'LL, I'LL DEFER TO YOU RIGHT NOW.WELL, I WAS JUST GONNA SAY THAT FIFE ASKED ME IF, UH, YOU COULD SEND OUT A VIRTUAL LINK.
I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S NOT WORKING FOR SOME REASON.
CAN SOMEONE POST IT IN SLACK? MAYBE.
IS IT, WAIT, WHERE'S THE LINK RIGHT NOW? IS IT IN AN EMAIL? IT IS.
I'M SENDING IT TO YOU NOW JUSTIN.
HERE LET'S, OKAY, SO ANOTHER TENTATIVE DATE, UM, FOR THE END OF THE TERM FOR MAYOR'S YOUTH COUNCIL AND MAKING SURE THAT WE ACKNOWLEDGE ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK, UH, THROUGHOUT, UH, YOUR TERM THIS YEAR.
OH, SO SORRY, I DIDN'T MEAN TO LEAVE SOMETHING ELSE OUT.
SO I KNOW YOU WERE, UM, TRAVELING TO CORY, BUT IN THE LAST MEETING WE DISCUSSED, UM, DISTRICT F AND THEIR YOUTH LED EVENT THAT TAKES PLACE IN JUNE PARTNERING WITH, UM, COUNCIL MEMBER.
AND ALEY, UH, PARTNERING WITH COUNCIL MEMBER TIFFANY, THOMAS AND ALEY VOTES.
AND IT'LL TRY TO GIVE LIKE A, UH, OKAY.
SO WHAT WE'LL DO, WE'LL START THE, UM, UPDATES OKAY.
FOR THE COMMITTEES AND THEN WHEN YOU, IT'S YOUR TURN, YOU CAN PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THAT.
I ALSO HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT THE TRIVIA NIGHT.
YOU SAID SUE, WHO'S LIKE, UH, WANTED TO ADVERTISE MORE.
WELL HE HAD ASKED COULD THAT BE AN EVENT THAT THAT TAKES PLACE BECAUSE HE REALLY ENJOYED IT LAST YEAR.
HE JUST THOUGHT MAYBE THEY JUST NEEDED MORE, UM, PROMOTION FOR IT.
SO THAT MORE, UM, PEOPLE ATTENDED.
IS THERE ANYBODY HERE THAT ATTENDED THAT EVENT? MM-HMM.
WAIT, CAN WE JUST MAKE IT LIKE A GENERAL LIKE MEETING OTHER THAN MR. GREEN? NO.
CAN WE LIKE, MAKE IT LIKE A GENERAL MEETING? LIKE THAT WOULD THAT'S A GREAT IDEA THAN THE REST.
AND MAYBE YOU CAN JUST DO THAT.
MR. GREEN, MAY I ASK, UM, THAT'S AN EVENT THAT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE PLENTY ALREADY PLANNED FOR THE SPRING.
IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU THINK WE WOULD BE ABLE TO FIT IN? OKAY.
DEFINITELY SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS FUN LAST YEAR.
SO IT'S SOMETHING THAT, UM, SUE WHO HAD MENTIONED.
WAS IT? YEAH, I HAD TO COME UP HERE.
UM, SO, AND I BRING THIS UP JUST BECAUSE IT'S, IT WILL BE HERE BEFORE WE KNOW IT REALLY, UM, AT, AT THE END OF JUNE.
UM, SO I JUST WANTED TO, YOU KNOW, KIND OF LET EVERYONE KNOW WE'D LIKE TO HAVE ALL OF OUR PROJECTS WRAPPED UP BY THE END OF JUNE, HOPEFULLY.
SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE WORKING TOWARDS TO GET EVERYTHING, ALL OF OUR UH, COMMITTEE PROJECTS AND EVERYTHING COMPLETED, UH, BY THE END OF JUNE.
AND I DO NOT HAVE ANY OTHER UPDATES FOR YOU ALL.
ANY QUESTIONS? ANY QUESTIONS? I'LL DO THAT.
WHAT SENIORS? WHO'S, WHO'S A SENIOR? JUST THE GIRLS GRADUATING.
WE HAVE MORE SENIORS, SO I HEAR YOUR POINT.
SO THAT JUST MEANS WE NEED TO BUMP IT UP JUST A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING THAT MANY SENIORS MAY BE GONE OFF TO SCHOOL.
SO THAT'S, WE'LL TAKE A POLL AND SEE EXACTLY HOW MANY WE HAVE.
WE DO HAVE MORE SENIORS THAN THE FEW THAT ARE HERE.
SO WHAT WHAT WE CAN DO IS, IS UM, COLLECT THE INFORMATION, FIND OUT,
[00:25:01]
UM, EVERYONE'S DATE TO COMPLETE SCHOOL AND THEN WE'LL DECIDE ON OUR, UM, TERM END AT THAT POINT.ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO OTHER QUESTIONS.
INTERNET WASN'T WORKING FOR ME.
ALRIGHT, SO NOW WE, WE CAN BEGIN.
UM, FOR THOSE CHAIRS THAT ARE HERE, WE CAN BEGIN WITH THE, ANY UPDATES OR ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON YOUR COMMITTEES.
MISHA, WOULD YOU LIKE TO START? SO WE'VE HAD A LOT OF SUCCESS WITH THE MENTAL HEALTH COMMITTEE AND, UH, SPOKE WITH MS. JACKSON, MR. MCCLENDON A FEW DAYS AGO BEFORE THE COMMITTEE MEETING, WHICH WE HAD YESTERDAY.
AND WE WERE JUST GOING OVER EVERYTHING.
BUT AS MS. JACKSON SAID, LIKE OUR MAIN PROJECT IS TO DO THE WELLNESS CARDS AND WE'RE HOPING TO GET THAT IN CHECK FOR THE APRIL MEETING AND MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE ALL THE CARDS AND THEN DISTRIBUTE THE CARDS TO ALL OF THE STUDENTS OR MEMBERS OF THE MENTAL HEALTH COMMITTEE.
SO WE CAN HOPEFULLY GET THOSE BACK IN TIME FOR MAY FOR THE MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH.
ALSO, LIKE AS WE MENTIONED THE PODCAST, THE NAMI WALKS AND THEN LIKE THE SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN, ALL OF WHICH WE'RE HOPING TO DO IN APRIL, BUT ALSO LIKE MAINLY POSTING THAT AND FINISHING THAT UP IN MAY FOR MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH.
BUT YEAH, JUST IN THE PROCESS WE SET A GOAL OF A THOUSAND CARDS, WHICH WE KNOW IS A LOT, BUT HOPEFULLY WE CAN DO THAT IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.
AND LET ME ADD, UM, TO THAT, UH, MISHA, BECAUSE I REALLY DID NOT EXPECT THAT TO BE DIFFICULT TO GET, HONESTLY, FULL DISCLOSURE.
UM, I THOUGHT CARDS AMAZON, LITTLE BIT.
BUT ACTUALLY THOSE CARDS ARE REALLY EXPENSIVE.
AND SO, UM, IN KEEPING THAT IN MIND, UM, WE ARE LOOKING AT DIFFERENT OPTIONS AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, TO TRY TO GET THOSE CARD, THE COST OF THOSE CARDS DOWN, POSSIBLY MAKING THE CARDS ARE, UH, GETTING SOME BULK CARDS.
UM, I CHECKED INTO A FEW, UM, DIFFERENT VENDORS AND NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS THAT MIGHT DONATE CARDS.
'CAUSE I REALLY HONESTLY DID NOT EXPECT TO GET, WE DID GET THE CARDS IN, WE ORDERED 1500 AND THEY WERE ALL MANY.
SO AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, JUST WOULDN'T WORK FOR THAT PARTICULAR PROJECT.
SO I AM FASTLY, UM, WORKING ON GETTING THE APPROPRIATE SIZED CARDS.
AND IN THE FUTURE, THIS ACTUALLY BROUGHT A GREAT PROBLEM TO THE FOREFRONT.
AND I THINK, AND YOU ALL MAY NOT WORK WITH THIS, BUT IN THE FUTURE WE'LL HAVE FORMS SO THAT YOU ALL CAN COMPLETE THE FORMS THAT YOU NEED FOR THE MATERIALS SO THAT YOU KNOW, BECAUSE WHAT I DID WAS JUST KIND OF QUICKLY LOOK AT IT, LOOK FOR CARDS AND IT, THEY WERE THE WRONG SIZE.
UM, SO IN THE FUTURE WE'LL HAVE A FORM AND IT, WE REALLY NEED IT BECAUSE IT NEEDS TO GO TO MR. GREEN TO GET APPROVAL FOR MATERIALS SINCE YOU KNOW, THEY NEED TO PURCHASE THOSE MATERIALS.
SO IN THE FUTURE WE'LL HAVE, UM, FORMS AND THE LEARNING EXPERIENCE WHAT FORMS SO THAT WE COMPLETE THOSE FORMS WITH ALL THE NECESSARY INFORMATION.
THE RE THAT YOU NEED ARE THE MATERIALS THAT YOU NEED, THE REASON YOU NEED IT, AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.
AND A ITEM DESCRIPTION WEBSITE THAT YOU'RE PURCHASING FROM ALL OF THAT INFORMATION THAT'S PERTINENT TO BEING ABLE TO PURCHASE THE CORRECT MATERIALS.
SO, SO SORRY, MENTAL HEALTH COMMITTEE.
UM, I'LL TAKE THE CHARGE ON THAT.
I, BUT I WILL DEFINITELY, I'M WORKING ON GETTING THE CORRECT CARDS FOR YOU.
UH, BUT ONE OTHER THING I WILL SAY, YOU MENTIONED A THOUSAND AMISHA HAS DONE A GREAT JOB.
WHY ARE ALL THE GUYS OVER HERE ALTOGETHER? IT'S SO DIFFERENT TODAY.
I, I, WE'LL ADJUST TO, UH, BUT, BUT MISHA HAS DONE A GREAT JOB OF PROVIDING SOME PROMPTS FOR US TO WRITE, UH, INTENTIONALLY WRITE CERTAIN, SOME CERTAIN NICE CERTAIN THINGS THAT ARE NICE, UH, FOR THE RESPECTIVE AUDIENCE.
SO I KNOW WE'RE AIMING TO DO CUSTODIANS, WE'RE AIMING TO DO HEALTHCARE WORKERS FIRST RESPONDERS, THOSE OF THAT MAGNITUDE.
SO WE DON'T WANT TO JUST SAY HAVE A GREAT DAY ON OUR CARS.
WE WANNA BE PRETTY INTENTIONAL ABOUT, UH, THINGS THAT CAN BE ENCOURAGING TO THOSE THAT ARE ON THE FOREFRONT.
SO I THINK THAT'S, THAT'S ALL I HAVE.
OH, AND WE'LL, WE'LL TALK ABOUT IN MAY, UH, DISTRIBUTING AND DROPPING OFF AND UH, DOING THINGS LIKE THAT.
BUT WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO, IF YOU A PART OF ORGANIZATION TO PARTNER WITH SOME PEOPLE AT YOUR, AT YOUR SCHOOL OR SOME FRIENDS THAT MAY JUST WANNA DO A HEALTHY CAUSE AND, UH, WE'RE CHARGING EACH PERSON TO DO A HUNDRED CARDS.
WHAT'D YOU SAY? DEPENDING ON THE COMPANY.
BUT IF EVERYONE CAN DO A HUNDRED CARDS, I THINK WE'LL REACH OUR GOAL.
YOU'VE GOT ANYTHING ELSE, MISHA? OH, THANK YOU.
HEY TOPHER, DO YOU HAVE A COMMENT, UH, BEFOREHAND? OH NO, I CHANGED MY MIND ON THAT.
HEY, ANYTHING ELSE, MISHA? OKAY, GOOD.
SO, UM, WE'LL GO ON TO THE NEXT COMMITTEE IF THAT PERSON IS HERE.
OH YEAH, SO I'LL GO FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE COMMITTEE.
SO BASICALLY WE WERE HOPING TO HAVE THAT SERVICE PROJECT SIMILAR
[00:30:01]
TO THE MLK DAY 1ST OF APRIL 13TH AT WOODLAND PARK IN THE HEIGHTS ALONG THE WHITE OAK BAYOU.WE WERE HOPING TO HAVE, LIKE MR. AGUILAR PROVIDE SUPPLIES AND WE WERE GONNA PICK UP TRASH ONE MORNING, UH, THAT MORNING.
BUT NOW WE'RE DOING THE, UH, YOUTH GLOBAL SERVICE EVENT ON MAY 10TH.
SO WE JUST THREW THAT OUT THE WINDOW.
BUT ONE THING THAT WE ARE WORK, WELL ACTUALLY TWO THINGS WE ARE WORKING ON, FIRST OFF, UH, WE'RE WRITING A, UH, I DUNNO IF IT'S, YOU'D CALL IT LIKE A BILL OR A RESOLUTION, BUT WE'RE WORKING ON, UH, A BILL OR RESOLUTION FOR, UH, LIKE FOOD DESERTS AND COMMUNITY GARDENS IN HOUSTON.
WE HOPE TO HAVE THAT READY BY NEXT MEETING BECAUSE I, I KNOW AT THE START OF THE YEAR WE TALKED ABOUT POSSIBLY BRINGING UP LIKE BILLS OR RESOLUTIONS TO THE ACTUAL CITY COUNCIL AND, UH, THE COMMITTEE IN OUR LAST MEETING.
AND UH, I THINK IT WAS LIKE, I DON'T, I DON'T REMEMBER.
IT MUST HAVE BEEN A COUPLE WEEKS AGO.
BUT, UH, WE THOUGHT THAT WAS A REALLY COOL IDEA AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON IT SINCE THEN.
AND THEN ALSO, THIS IS NOT RELATED TO OUR COMMITTEE, IT'S RELATED TO EVERYONE IN GENERAL.
UH, OUR COMMITTEE, LIKE WE WERE GOING ON LIKE QUITE A FEW TANGENTS DURING THAT MEETING.
LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE THERE.
BUT WE TALKED ABOUT MAYBE MEETING UP FOR A DINNER AFTER THE, LIKE, LIKE THE LAST UH, MAYOR'S YOUTH COUNCIL MEETING ALL ON JUSTIN TOO.
SO LIKE, THERE'S A RESTAURANT CALLED PAPS NEARBY THAT I THINK JAMES ACTUALLY SUGGESTED.
DID I? I GUESS SO, BUT LIKE, OBVIOUSLY LIKE WE COULD DO MORE RESEARCH INTO THAT, BUT MAYBE LIKE THE SECOND TO LAST MEETING OF THE YEAR OR THE LAST MEETING, WE ALL MEET UP FOR LIKE DINNER AFTERWARDS IF YOU GUYS ARE COOL WITH THAT.
I, I AGREE WHEN I PUT THE TERM COMPLETION ON THE AGENDA, THAT'S REALLY WHAT I WAS THINKING.
SOMETHING CELEBRATORY, UM, AT THE END.
ALRIGHT, TO COREY, OUR NEXT COMMITTEE.
SO THE, UM, AS Y'ALL HEARD THE VOTER UH, ENGAGEMENT MEETING, UH, LAST MEETING WE TALKED ABOUT PAIRING UP WITH AILEY VOTES IN DISTRICT F TO JOIN THEIR, UM, YOUTH CONFERENCE.
BASICALLY, UM, WE WERE PLANNING ON DOING AN MYC UH, BREAKOUT, A BREAK TABLE.
UM, AND SO WE WERE GONNA TALK ABOUT, UH, WAYS THAT HOW YOUTH LEADERS CAN ENGAGE IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND WHERE CAN YOUNG PEOPLE FIND, UH, IN INTERNSHIPS, THINGS LIKE THAT.
IT'S GONNA BE HAPPENING JUNE 14TH AND IT'S GONNA BE AN ALE NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER CLASSROOM.
AND SO, UH, SO FAR THAT'S ALL WE HAVE, BUT WE'RE ALSO LOOKING FOR MORE ORGANIZATIONS TO THAT CAN POSSIBLY JOIN THE BREAKOUT TABLE.
SO LIKE IF YOU HAVE PEOPLE WHO ARE WILLING TO, UH, TALK ABOUT THINGS RELATED TO YOUTH LEADERSHIP AND UH, VOTER EDUCATION, YOU CAN SEND AN EMAIL TO ME OR HELEN, GIVE 'EM THE IDEAS AND WE'LL PUT IT IN THE, IN THE GOOGLE DOC AND EVENTUALLY LIKE POTENTIALLY HAVE HIM THERE.
UM, ANY OTHER COMMITTEE HERE PRESENT FOR UPDATES? YES.
SO OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS WE'VE MAINLY BEEN PLANNING THE YOUTH COLLEGE READINESS GUIDE AND IT'S GOING REALLY WELL.
LIKE AS MARY, SHE'S BEEN SENDING OUT SOME EMAILS, BUT WE HAVE RECEIVED MOSTLY ALL OF THE DOCUMENTS AND EVERYTHING.
SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE IN THE WORKS OF LIKE CONTACTING PUBLISHERS AND HOPEFULLY GETTING THE BOOKS INTO LIBRARIES AND LIKE JUST FORMATTING THE DESIGNS AND EVERYTHING OF THAT SORT.
BUT JUST OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS, LIKE WE'LL BE IN CONTACT WITH YOU TO HOPEFULLY FINISH EVERYTHING UP.
I'M REALLY EXCITED TO SEE THE COMPLETED PROJECT, THE OUTCOMES OF THAT.
ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK ARE ANY OTHER UPDATES BEFORE I PUT SUHO ON THE SPOT FOR JUST A MOMENT? SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HIR THAT TALKED ABOUT, WELL YOU MISSED THIS PART EARLIER.
WE TALKED ABOUT, YOU HAD MENTIONED THE TRIVIA NIGHT, SO I WANTED TO PIVOT TO YOU AND, AND IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU NEED FROM THE GROUP, YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND AND AND STATE THAT NOW.
UM, BECAUSE I, WE DO THINK THAT WE CAN GET IT PLANNED.
UM, AS MR. GREEN JUST MENTIONED, PROBABLY AUGUST FOR THOSE RETURNING WOULD BE A GREAT, WOULD BE A GREAT TIME TO, UM, HAVE THE EVENT OR MAYBE EARLIER.
WE'RE STILL IN THE PLANNING STAGES FOR IT.
UM, ARE YOU A JUNIOR OR SENIOR? I'M A JUNIOR.
SO PLAN FOR, OKAY, I'LL GO AHEAD AND SPEAK ABOUT THAT.
OKAY, SO, UM, BASICALLY THE UTE TRIVIA NIGHT IS
[00:35:01]
PATIENT EQUITY COMMITTEE.SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN DO UTE TRIVIA NIGHT THROUGH AS A SERVICE LEARNING PROJECT THROUGH THAT COMMITTEE.
UM, BUT BASICALLY IT'S BASICALLY LIKE A JEOPARDY COMPETITION FOR UH, INTRODUCING LIKE THESE UH, KIDS, UH, MIDDLE SCHOOL KIDS TO UH, HOW THE CITY WORKS, THE GOVERNMENT AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
SO THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT THE U TRIVIA NIGHT IS.
WE KIND OF LIKE HAD A MEETING LIKE LAST YEAR ABOUT WHAT COULD HAVE WENT BETTER FOR THE U TRIVIA NIGHT.
AND I THINK FOR THAT WE SAID LIKE ABOUT PLANNING AND DOING ALL THAT STUFF, BUT WE WERE IN EDUCATION EQUITY, WE WERE MORE, UH, FOCUSED ON GETTING THE, THE BOOK OUT, THE PUBLISHING BOOK.
SO I DIDN'T REALLY INTRODUCE THE YOUTH TRIVIA NIGHT, UM, THAT MUCH 'CAUSE I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GOT THAT PROJECT DONE FIRST.
BUT I DID MENTION THAT IDEA A COUPLE OF MEETINGS BEFORE.
SO I MEAN I THINK IT'S DEFINITELY, UH, A POSSIBLE IDEA, BUT I'M NOT SURE, LIKE I SAID, LIKE LAST YEAR THE MISTAKE WE MADE WAS THAT WE KEPT PUSHING IT OFF AND OFF AND THEN WE JUST DECIDED TO DO IT JUST TO GET IT DONE.
BUT I MEAN AUGUST IS LIKE A GOOD TIME.
UH, BUT LIKE, LIKE I SAID, IT'S LIKE MID-MARCH SO MAYBE MAY APRIL WOULD WORK, BUT WE WOULD PROBABLY NEED LIKE A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND MONTHS TO GET THAT OUTREACH.
'CAUSE THAT'S LAST, LAST YEAR.
THAT'S WHAT WE KIND OF LACKED, RIGHT? BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT MANY PEOPLE SHOW UP THAT WE WANTED TO.
AND I THINK THAT RESULT WAS THAT, WAS THAT WE DIDN'T DO THAT MUCH OUTREACH.
SO DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT I WANNA FIX UPON FROM THAT.
AND WE COULD TALK TO ARIAN ABOUT THAT AS WELL.
'CAUSE HE WAS THE CHAIR FOR THAT COMMITTEE IS BASICALLY DOING MORE OUTREACH, UH, BE THROUGH INSTAGRAM.
WE HAVE OUR OWN INSTAGRAM PAGE AND WE MADE CANVA POSTERS TO SPREAD IT OUT.
WE PUT THAT THROUGH OUR RESPECTIVE SCHOOLS AND WE BASICALLY, UH, TALKED LIKE PEOPLE TO TRY TO COME TO THIS, UH, YOUTH TRIVIA NIGHT.
SO REALLY WE JUST HAVE TO COME TO A CONSENSUS ON WHAT MONTH OR DAY WOULD WORK.
I'M NOT REALLY SURE, BUT IF YOU SAID AUGUST, LIKE WOULD THAT BE AFTER THE END OF OUR TERM OR IS MY QUESTION? IT WOULD BE AND IT WOULD BE THE START OF THE NEW TERM.
UM, WE DEFINITELY PLAN TO START A LITTLE BIT EARLIER THIS YEAR.
UM, THE OTHER POINT THOUGH, BECAUSE IF WE WORK WITH, ANOTHER GOOD WAY TO PROMOTE WOULD BE TO PARTNER WITH THE CITY OF HOUSTON YOUTH AMBASSADORS AGAIN AND ALSO TO PARTNER WITH UH, YPAC POSSIBLY.
I THINK THAT MIGHT ALL YOUTH COMING TOGETHER, ESPECIALLY AFTER THE GLOBAL YOUTH SERVICE DAY EVENT THAT WE'RE HAVING, I THINK IT WOULD BE A GREAT WAY, UH, TO PROMOTE THE EVENT AND GET MORE BECAUSE IT'S A COMMUNITY EVENT, RIGHT? YEAH.
UM, SO WE WOULD BE ABLE TO GET MORE PARTICIPATION I THINK BY PARTNERING WITH THOSE OTHER GROUPS.
BUT YEAH, UM, WE COULD DEFINITELY TALK TO REEN MORE ABOUT THIS 'CAUSE ME AND HIM ARE ACTUALLY TALKING ABOUT THE YOU TRIVIA NOT TRY TO GET THAT DONE, BUT I'M NOT SURE HOW THAT WOULD WORK.
'CAUSE AUGUST WOULD BE THE BEGINNING OF THE NEW TERM AND I'M NOT SURE HOW WE WOULD STILL HAVE LIKE MAYBE
SO JUST TRYING TO GET YOUR COMMITTEE THE FIRST THING, GET A COMMITTEE TOGETHER, A STEERING COMMITTEE OKAY.
AND TRY TO UTILIZE THE JUNIORS OR OKAY.
SOME THAT ARE ALREADY ON, UM, THE COUNCIL, UM, FOR YOUR COMMITTEE.
SO REAL QUICK, UM, SO THE YOUTH TRI NIGHT STEERING COMMITTEE WOULD BE MAINLY ONLY OF EDUCATION EQUITY MEMBERS OR MM-HMM.
ALRIGHT, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS BEFORE I PIVOT BACK TO OUR, OUR CHAIR TONIGHT? OUR
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ANYBODY? NO, SORRY.
I FEEL, FEEL, I FEEL REALLY BAD.
BUT I MEAN, I DO SEE LIKE ALL THE, LIKE THE SLACK THAT JUSTIN CREATED AND LIKE EVERYONE'S USING IT.
SO I THINK THAT'S KIND OF A, A GOOD THING THAT WE'VE DONE LIKE SINCE THE LAST MEETING.
CAN I INTERRUPT? OH YEAH, GO AHEAD.
THAT'S NOT REALLY REFERENCE RULES FOR ME, BUT, UH, I GET EMAILS LIKE EVERY, LIKE OTHER DAY FROM THE SLACK, LIKE UPDATES ON LIKE HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE LIKE USING THE SLACK.
MAYBE I COULD LIKE TRANSFER THAT TO YOU, MS. JACKSON.
BECAUSE THANK YOU FOR, I'M GLAD THAT WE'RE USING IT BECAUSE IT'S A LITTLE, IT'S HARDER TO GET THE EMAIL SET UP.
LIKE ACTUALLY WHEN I, OUR NEXT MEETING, I KNOW WE'RE ALMOST DONE WITH THE TERM, BUT FOR THOSE THAT ARE JUNIORS, I'LL HAVE THE COMPUTER HERE.
SO YOU CAN LOG INTO YOUR EMAIL FOR THE FIRST TIME.
YOU NEED TO BE ON THE CITY NETWORK.
THAT GOES ALONG WITH GETTING YOU ONBOARDED AS INTERNS.
UM, AT THE NEXT, AT THE NEXT MEETING.
I SAID I'M GONNA MISS OUT 'CAUSE I'M NOT A JUNIOR.
TO QUICKLY INTERRUPT, UH, SOMEBODY'S IN THE WAITING ROOM.
AND BECAUSE MY, MY, FOR SOME REASON I'M NOT CONNECTED, IT WON'T LET ME CONNECT.
IF ANYONE IS IN THERE, CAN THEY LET THEM IN? IS ANYONE IN THE MEETING? IT'S, I THINK IT'S CALLING.
[00:40:01]
OKAY.ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? CONCERNS ABOUT ANYTHING? ANYTHING WE MISSED TONIGHT? OKAY.
I'LL PIVOT TO JAMES FOR ADJOURNMENT.
I'M GONNA GO AND CALL THIS MEETING TO OR ADJOURN THIS MEETING.
