BHEF Staff: Suzanne Amoonarquah, Frank Avery, Stephanie Blochinger, Stacey Brown, Janet Chen, Ursula Gross, Amanda Pumphrey, Jennifer Thornton, Danielle Troyan. Welcome and Overview Board Chair Mike King opened the meeting at 12:00 p.m. He welcomed members and provided an overview of the agenda. Approval of the FY21 Q2 Board of Directors Meeting Minutes King asked for a motion to approve the FY21 Q2 Board of Directors meeting minutes. The motion was made and seconded. The minutes were unanimously approved. Chief Executive Officer's Report FY21 COVID Leadership Success Brian Fitzgerald provided an overview of BHEF’s recent success in its COVID-19 response by reporting on BHEF's newly developed offerings, including member-only labor market analyses, and the BHEF-Business Roundtable Workforce Partnership Initiative (WPI) projects. BHEF’s fundraising efforts included: •secured short-term funding and worked towards long-term support from JPMorgan Chase; •a COVID-19 response grant from the ECMC Foundation; and BHEF FY2021, Q3 – May 7, 2021 Board of Directors Meeting Minutes | 2 •co-led the Education and Workforce Institute for the National Center on Wireless Spectrum Innovation and submitted five-year grant to NSF for BHEF members to engage in the development of new work-based learning models and credentialing for Spectrum professionals. Fitzgerald provided an update on BHEF’s submitted proposal for Strada’s Equity Cities Network project. As a result of a change of leadership and the closing of the Equity Cities Network Initiative, BHEF’s proposal was not funded. Timely and Relevant Reports, Analyses, Conversation, and Action Fitzgerald shared BHEF's strategy for keeping its members up to date on trends through timely and relevant reports, customized analysis, quarterly hosted forums, and new initiatives to continue providing ROI to BHEF members. Regional Accelerators: Increasing BHEF's Prominence through WPI Fitzgerald briefed the board on the BHEF-Business Roundtable WPI Regional Accelerators grant concept. The proposal is due to JPMorgan Chase in early fall 2021. Key personnel from the regional partnerships, including those representing BHEF members, will become “fellows” and be empowered as long-term ambassadors to support sustainability of the partnership beyond the grant. Fellows will gain access to BHEF materials and research, convenings and meetings with experts, and an online platform tailored to individual regions and their needs. This program will allow fellows to learn best practices and acquire knowledge and skills to implement solutions. The Regional Accelerators will not only promote sustainability but will increase recognition of BHEF’s method of cultivating and sustaining business-higher education partnerships. BHEF members and their staff will benefit from the launch of the Regional Accelerators in several ways: •Access to the Accelerator curriculum and ability to participate as a fellow •Opportunity to serve as business-higher education experts during convenings and participate in discussions and selection panels with business fellows •Increased recognition of BHEF, our partnership services, and methodology on a regional and national level T he grant will allow BHEF to develop training materials and tools that can also be deployed to our membership more broadly. BHEF will update the board as the fellowship model develops. The board and BHEF had a 20-minute discussion on what the accelerator project meant for BHEF's value proposition and ROI to members and network growth. Members noted that BHEF is at a pivotal moment in terms of focus, sustainability, and delivery of ROI for members from a strategic standpoint. The importance of scale coupled with sustainability was raised as was the need to grow membership and recruiting opportunities (e.g. national convenings) with the new BHEF FY2021, Q3 – May 7, 2021 Board of Directors Meeting Minutes | 3 network. Olian noted a direct member benefit of the proposed network is the ability for members to sit across the table from a counterpart and engage in macro solutions in local, regional, or national spheres. Fitzgerald emphasized that the ad hoc committee’s work will feed into a new business model to address scaling impact and sustainability while creating a more rigorous methodology to consider the post-COVID-19 world and new workforce demands. Other points of discussion amongst board members included: •Using BHEF’s network and experiences in regional projects to provide tools to address policy issues •Considering the impacts of automation •Importance of bringing repeatable solutions rather than repeatable ideas; the need for clarity and continued focus on ROI as we move forward with developing this new model Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and the June 2021 Member Meeting Fitzgerald shared the agenda for the upcoming June 2021 member meeting with the board emphasizing its focus on DEI and the joint report with PwC as a framework for the discussion. The board discussed the structure and content of the meeting and made suggestions on how to weave BHEF's value proposition into the agenda. Olian pointed out the fundamental misalignment of supply and demand in the workforce now and the importance of addressing this in the meeting. Papazian echoed that it would be ideal to explore the intersection of the supply and demand skills mismatch and the need for broader inclusivity as we think about how to reskill effectively. Membership Committee Report Commitment to Recruiting New BHEF Members Jeff Armstrong reported that the membership committee met on April 23, 2021. He emphasized the need for members to assist in moving membership forward as the membership committee report reflected the following declines: 14 percent in membership from February 2020 to April 2021 with a 23 percent drop in business members and 11 percent drop in academic members. BHEF Tear Sheet Armstrong directed the board to the draft tear sheet—the first in a suite of new marketing materials intended to attract new members. Danielle Troyan provided commentary on the development of the tear sheet and asked the board to provide feedback. BHEF FY2021, Q3 – May 7, 2021 Board of Directors Meeting Minutes | 4 Papazian and Napack signaled the importance of the three-part relationship of candidates, companies, and university and the need to build in more clarity about what, specifically, BHEF does to support and enhance this symbiotic relationship for the benefit of its members. They also mentioned the need for specific metrics when writing about former projects (e.g. number of students placed, credentials created, shortened time to hire, etc.). Armstrong noted there was an imbalance in the bullets being more academic-centric and not geared enough towards industry. Napack also suggested using digital clips for social media to highlight the content of the new tear sheet in order to recruit and promote BHEF more widely. The sheet will be revised, and an updated version will be shared with the board. Future Membership Engagement, Recruiting, and Networking Opportunities Armstrong reported on future membership networking and engagement opportunities, including but not limited to sponsored virtual brown bags and outside-facing meetings targeted for member recruitment. As BHEF leaned towards a research focus on disruptive technologies, the membership committee recommended that the board identify five top universities and five top companies working in these fields to convene them, inviting non-members and prospects. Incoming BHEF chair, Mary Papazian, recognized this as a tool that could broaden BHEF’s recruitment impact by: (1) providing an opportunity to share the value proposition with prospective members and (2) giving prospects a chance to interact with BHEF members while gaining valuable knowledge through the proposed exclusive insights. This could be an effective and replicable recruitment model in terms of targeted prospects, regions, and sectors. Finance and Audit Report Fitzgerald walked the board through the finance and audit report. As of March 31, 2021, BHEF had received $1,404,874 in revenue, which included $950,000 in membership dues, $205,074 in grants and donations, and $249,800 in Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan forgiveness from the SBA. Expenses totaled $1,230,434. As of March 31, 2021, BHEF had $958,113 in SunTrust Bank and $54,102 in Sandy Springs Bank savings account. BHEF expects to end the fiscal year with a total of $2,285,973 in revenue and $2,269,980 in expenses. BHEF applied for round two of the PPP, which was approved on March 30, 2021. The round two loan application was submitted via SunTrust/Truist Bank in the amount of $254,970.85. Funds were deposited into BHEF’s account on April 2, 2021. Once BHEF has completed spending of round two funds in accordance with the SBA guidelines, we will move forward with the submission of the loan forgiveness application. Loan forgiveness is expected in FY22. BHEF FY2021, Q3 – May 7, 2021 Board of Directors Meeting Minutes | 5 Given the continuing concerns around COVID-19, BHEF created return-to-work policies and guidelines. Fitzgerald shared plans to move into a hybrid working model with partial capacity in- office beginning on May 10, 2021. He also reported that BHEF's exploration of solutions to alleviate rent costs were fruitless given the difficult situation landlords are still facing. The board discussed ways to help mitigate costs and improve the financials presented in the report and emphasized concerns around membership dues and revenue. Passing of the Gavel King notified the board that they would receive a virtual vote for the class of 2024 slate sometime after the conclusion of the board meeting. King thanked the board for their active commitment to BHEF and for his time as BHEF's chair. King officially passed the gavel to Papazian and welcomed her as BHEF's new chair. Closing Remarks Papazian thanked King for his stewardship of the board, the board for their support, and BHEF staff for its work and provided closing remarks. The meeting went into the executive session at 1:39 PM. These minutes were certified on: __________________, 2021. By: Brian K.
