Invited Guest
Roberta Olson, Chair of the BHS Foundation spoke on three topics. Foundation Board
Committee members are now in the community meeting with potential donors seeking
pledges for either the new skilled nursing facility or the campus master plan. A packet of
material has been prepared by Angerhofer, BHS’s marketing person. Olson is optimistic
about the Foundation’s goal to raise $5 million dollars. She handed out pledge cards to
the Board of Trustees noting it is important to pledge, the amount is up to the individual.
All pledges should be turned into Deb Davis. The position description for the
Development Officer was reviewed. Olson asked the Board to examine and provide
input at a meeting she would be willing to attend in December. She and Coffey were in
agreement that the position should be broadened to include additional duties such as
public relations and grant writing. Olson talked about the Naming Policy. The purpose
of the policy is to put in place naming rights to a facility, health care unit, department,
room, roadway, building or addition where there is a gift to the institution. She noted
legal has reviewed the policy. Johnston inquired since the health system is part of the
city, the city manager should be contacted regarding the policy. Olson was excused at
6:40 p.m. A motion by Brown, with a second by Whaley, to approve the Naming Policy
pending the interim CEO’s communication with the city manager regarding BHS’s
authority to allow naming rights.
