Call to Order and Welcome, Bruce Herron The meeting was called to order at 7:59 a.m. by Bruce Herron.
Consent Agenda: Approval of the Minutes Upon a duly made and seconded motion, the consent agenda was approved.
CASA Story Barbara Bruner, who served on the CA CASA Board for 14 years and now heads the Volunteer Recruitment and Retention Committee, discussed the three unmet needs in the recruitment and retention of CASAs, First, a perceived lack of transparency which has been alleviated by volunteers meeting with Executive Director and Board President. Second, an emphasis on recruiting volunteers as diverse as the population we serve. The African American Committee, the Hispanic Outreach, and the Quarterback Club are groups created for these purposes. Third, an increase in satisfaction and decrease in dissatisfaction. Satisfaction is increased by acknowledging volunteers at the holiday parties and volunteer luncheon. We also seek feedback from CASAs and fundraising support where applicable. Many of the successes are due to the collaboration with staff especially when solutions are proposed rather than dictated by policy or procedures. In addition, we need to recruit with a healthy dose of reality. Main 6 of 108
reasons for dissatisfaction are isolation, lack of connection, and out-sized expectations. Lynn James added that the attrition rate has gone from 31% to 12%, and is currently 8%. Hopefully it will be only 6% this year. Moving and health issues are the main reasons for leaving. Providing additional connections to CASA through jury presentations, book clubs, share and support sessions, relevant in-services and meetings with Bruce Herron have also been helpful.
Finance Committee, Ralph Walter
Highlights of FY 2012 Audit 1 Unqualified clean opinion 2 Increase in assets of $400,000 3 Government grants are a much smaller piece 4 Contributions from foundations and individuals have replaced government grants 5 No debt 6 Line of credit was obtained to assist with any problems with cash flow. 7 Audit pointed out a lack of matching time sheets allocation in the draw and supervisor unapproved time cards. Both of these are required in the audit because of federal funds. Paul Deitch asked how many time sheets were tested. Ralph responded that 10 out of 75 were issues – the time was correct but in the wrong period. Lack of supervisor approval took place when supervision was in transition. 8 Previous amount of government grants was $789,000 which is what needs to be replaced.
ACTION: Upon a duly made and seconded motion, the audit was approved.
Following discussion of cost per child served, a decision was made to report on an annualized basis. Attention was called to the Justice Jog, which raised over $46,000 Over $900k in the bank as of 12/31/2012 In relation to outside services costs on page 42, Dilys explained that Charissa’s services are reflected in 2 lines, as event manager and under Gala
Introductions, Bruce Herron
Transparency is one of the hallmarks of this organization. Everybody is welcome at any committee meeting. It is important that items have been read and questions have been asked in advance of the board meeting.

Governance Committee, Anneli Stone
1 Reflected on board composition report handed out during meeting. Board composition needs to reflect the population we serve. 2 Every 3 years we are required to review bylaws. Pages 71-72 of board packet lists recommended changes to bylaws. 3 Discussed 7.02 change of chairman and vice-chairman board terms from 2 years to 1 year. Recommended by the Governance Committee to give more flexibility and to allow more people to step up. Ed Nahmias pointed out that a one year term for chairman may be too short. Paul Deitch raised the issue that it may be awkward when we present to other organizations. Ralph Walter pointed out that there is flexibility through re-election. The final vote will be at the April 15 meeting. 4 Governance Committee also recommended addition of a nonprofit audit committee which would be separate from finance once we reach $2MM.
ACTION: Upon a duly made and seconded motion, Louis Lucido, Allyson Pfeifer and Greg Collins were elected to their first terms as CASA/LA board members.
Development Plans, Bill Jones
1 22 grants: 6 from first time funders. Parsons $300k, Eisner $100,000, NBC4 $50,000, Atlas renewed, Gogian increased, and Deutsch went to 80k, Generally it takes 3 years of contact with foundations before they contribute (pgs. 87-89 of Board agenda) 2 Charissa reported on Gala. External goal of $1MM. Currently $240k raised. Still no corporate honoree – reaching out to 2 corporations at this time. Auction committee wants to generate $75,000. First week of March, invitations will go out. Mailing lists needed by Feb 15. Charissa described Gala layout which will not be a traditional sit down dinner. From 6:30- 8:00, there will be food stations spread throughout rooms along with booths for auction items and possibly the Quilters’ Guild which furnishes quilts for CASA children... From 8:00-9:20 there will be dessert and a condensed program. 3 Jean Youngquist reported on AV Benefit which will be a sit down dinner on March 8 and will be honoring Supervisor Antonovich. 4 E-newsletters will focus on theme and Facebook has 4-5 stories per week. 5 Robert Smith debuted the rough cut of the video that he has been working on which is 4-5 minutes long. The plan is for it to be used on our website, to potential donors and volunteers, at the Gala and possibly as a PSA. It will also be used at the AV Benefit. 6 Anissa McNeil reported that Glamour Gowns is confirmed for March 8-10 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. There will be a collaborative 8 of 108
planning meeting this week. Discussion of the Friday event will be ironed out at this time. 7 Anissa McNeil reported on the African American Committee event which will be at the Mayme Clayton Library and Museum in Culver City on Feb 23.
Executive Director’s Report, Dilys Tosteson Garcia Quest for improvement of level of management continues. (p.103-104) Highlights: 1 Strategic recruitment and realignment of CASA continues with new emphasis 2 Staffing changes – Rosalee Villalobos is stepping into Monique’s role in AV / Louise Bieschke moving back to program / Bill Jones staying until the end of FY2013 3 Lynne Gabriel implementing flex training which allows us to scale up with computer as well as face-to-face training sessions 4 2nd rollout of case assessment survey 5 Successful audit 6 Successful AOC visit. AOC suggested that we make the case referral criteria more explicit. 7 Volunteer management system will be instituted by summer 8 MP office will be redesigned. Design team, recommended by Ridlehoover, visited last week. Will optimize use of space. 9 Board calendar changes will be made for June. Dilys will be on a once in a lifetime safari. Dilys recognized the following people: ● Ray Randall, Bruce Herron, Cristine Reynaert, Ed Nahmias for early board contributions ● Frank Addante, Paul Deitch, Jim Rishwain for early Gala commitments ● Lynne Gabriel for implementation of flex training ● Carolyn McGee for a steady hand in an inflammatory situation ● Kurt Swanson for AOC site visit- praised as competent and gracious

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
CASA of Los Angeles is the CASA program operating in Los Angeles County. As of 2010, CASA of Los Angeles is a private, not‐for‐profit corporation organized under the laws of California, and is recognized by the Los Angeles Superior Court (Court) as a community service organization established to provide trained community volunteers to report to the Court and to make recommendations regarding the best interests of children in the Dependency Court.
This document shall become effective on the date on which all parties have signed. It is intended to replace the Operating Principles dated June 30, 2004, in light of the change in status of CASA of Los Angeles from a public/private partnership to an independent, private not‐for‐profit corporation. It outlines the principles and mechanisms through which the Court and CASA of Los Angeles shall cooperate. These principles shall guide the Court and CASA of Los Angeles until and unless changed by the mutual consent of the Court and CASA of Los Angeles and may be terminated by either side with 30 days written notice.
Mutual Goals

A Major donor cultivation has had a slower start B Higher rate of conversion for proposals to funded and grants cycles C Updated YTD budget to better reflect Federal v. AOC grant D Difference here is a timing difference in receipt of funds E New event; this was one method of raising individual and corporate contributions. F Timing difference on Gala revenue receipts. G Antelope Valley benefit. H Refund from prior year invoices, but books are closed. I Timing difference on Gala costs - hotel deposit currently reflected in prepaid expenses J See V also - these two lines reflect volunteer outreach activity, along with costs in other areas, such as staff travel. K Telephone and internet are billed together and on budget. L Need to budget for higher fees given volume of contributions over the internet and via credit card. M Greater utilization of internal printing and copying. N Overall, printing and postage are on budget if grouped with fundraising mailing. O More recruiting fees incurred than expected since Development Director search remains ongoing. P Continued use of RBZ for financial reporting, etc. Q These two line items were budgeted as staff expenses but have been staffed to-date using independent contractors. R This represents payments to On Target and NPO Solutions. On Target is substantially related to the Gala, but includes other activity. S Higher utilization of grantwritier. Dilys, Robert Cooper's time may need to be split - materials development? T Major donor consulting. This is consultant is no longer used. Bill now fills this role. U Delayed in spending on program evaluation, particularly Early Childhood. V See J W Additional half-time Americorps volunteer addes that was not originally budgeted. X These are primarily expenses related to events other than the Gala (Lancaster event, Justice Jog, etc.)

CASA/LA FY2014 PLAN HIGHLIGHTS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In FY2012 and 2013 CASA/LA demonstrated unprecedented growth, for the first time in over 5 years. Optimized staff capacity coaching an average of 50 volunteers in turn serving 100 children brought service levels to a replicable all- time high for the Los Angeles CASA program and for CASA programs in general. We are now poised to reach first for 1,000 children served next year, and then 2,500 soon thereafter. This continued expansion requires FY2014 focus on five key strategic areas: 1) Outreach, 2) Growth, 3) Infrastructure, 4) Evaluation, 5) Development.
1. OUTREACH Community outreach and volunteer recruitment need a more precise and strategic approach in order to effectively widen and diversity the incoming pipeline of advocates. The plan calls for a new Community Outreach Director and volunteer coordinators restructured to support two distinct areas that have previously functioned as one, outreach and volunteer services (screening and training).
2. GROWTH Supporting a growing cadre of volunteers at the achieved and optimal ratio of 1:50:100, with one Senior Program Coordinator (SPC) coaching 50 volunteers serving 100 children, will require additional program staff since we are so close to full capacity. The budget includes two new SPC positions staggered to support the growth of an additional 200 children served as it materializes. We are also proposing to fill the Assistant Director leadership position in Antelope Valley in order to secure the
4/10/13 1 56 of 108
CASA/LA FY2014 PLAN HIGHLIGHTS
growth achieved so far and lead future expansion in this underserved area. On our wish list but not funded for this year is a Policy Director position, in response to the desire heard from many of our volunteers to channel CASA learning into specific advocacy for systems change. When and if funding can be identified and obtained in FY2014, this possibility will be revisited.
3. INFRASTRUCTURE Continuing to build infrastructure with equipment, systems and processes is essential for supporting staff and volunteer scope and productivity. In this area we propose to upgrade volunteer applicant processing, data management, accounting, and evaluation staffing with a cost-effective combination of systems work, regular staff and outside contractors. We will continue to work with high performing contractors in human resources and tech support. Our most important infrastructure objective is the implementation of the Optima Volunteer Management Software system that will provide staff and volunteers with a cloud-based platform on which to transact and track advocacy activity. We are also using specified restricted funds for a master redesign of office and conference room training space that will allow us to accommodate the overall increase in FTEs (from 19 to 26) within existing office space. Rewarding our people for performance: The FY2014 Plan and Budget includes normalizing salary management with a pay for performance system that provides for raises tied to annual evaluation of individual performance to goals set the year prior. Pay for performance also provides annual bonus incentives for the management team, tied to
4/10/13 2 57 of 108
CASA/LA FY2014 PLAN HIGHLIGHTS
individual and team accomplishment of previously set measurable goals and objectives.
4. EVALUATION Measurement and evaluation of program impact is essential to the sustainability of CASA advocacy in Los Angeles and elsewhere. We are committed to providing leadership for the entire CASA community while solving our immediate need for more evidence-based data on program impact. Our plan calls for deepening work on case assessment survey with pro-bono resources at USC and contracting for improved evaluation design to lead work of identifying milestones that are comparable with more general foster child data to build the case for CASA impact from existing data.
5. DEVELOPMENT FOR SUSTAINABILITY FY2014 plans call for continued building of development capacity. Positions opened in FY2013 will be filled in FY2014; development director with major gifts focus and a foundation manager. We will continue working with high performing contractors in the areas of publicity, grant writing, event management, copy writing, web services, direct mail, donor database management, etc., adding as needed and budgeted. The plan proposes supporting a continuing growth in activity as required to generate the $3.0MM revenue needed to support serving 1,000+ children, as evidenced in a higher overall development budget.

CASA/LA FY2014 PLAN HIGHLIGHTS
What is needed from the CASA/LA Board of Directors?
1. The board needs to continue its expansion, to the maximum number of 31 directors, using recruitment criteria that attract high-profile philanthropic community and business leaders able to contribute financially at higher levels than seen in the past. The board needs to become what it seeks to attract; the leading group of major gift donors to CASA/LA.
2. Annual minimum give amount needs to align with magnitude of total revenue sought, rising from $3500 to $5,000 for new directors, with existing directors unable to make a “stretch” gift, grandfathered in at previous $3500 level during continued board transition to higher giving levels. The board contribution line item in the FY2014 budget calls for 25 members giving a minimum of $5,000 for a total minimum board contribution of $125,000.
3. The board needs to follow its great Gala start of May 2013 with a repeat performance in FY2014, with the 2nd annual Evening of Dreams again targeting to generate $1MM for CASA/LA children. Board involvement in stewarding new donors generated from Gala will ensure ongoing donor relationships for FY2014.
4. A second annual and more accessible fundraiser needs to be developed, led by the board. We also need to prepare for replacing the Justice Jog in FY2015, as this third year as a beneficiary may be our last.
5. Continued governance and stewardship over program direction, fiscal and legal management.
4/10/13 4 64 of 108
CASA/LA FY2014 PLAN HIGHLIGHTS
FY2013 ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND PROGRESS More alignment among CASA/LA stakeholders around sustainable vision and mission is yielding stronger organizational performance results in service quality, service levels and community support.

Continued increase in ability to raise private dollars; from <$500K in FY2010, to $700K in FY2011, $1.2MM in FY2012, to $TBD+MM in FY2013. Raised $500K more in private dollars (at 8 months) over year prior. Engaged more CASA volunteers than ever in support of the organization’s mission and sustainability goals. Technology platform in place to support software systems for volunteer management, program evaluation and donor relationship management. Completed Sales Force integration project? Recruited 145 volunteers in FY2013 and activated 400+ volunteers. Improved quality of volunteer training with enhanced interactive adult education techniques, increased use of online training tools, and the implementation of National CASA Flex Training format with off-site and after-hours delivery. Programmatic innovations with Early Childhood Initiative are performing well and attracting additional investment from funders. Transition Age Youth and Educational initiatives are in development to follow suit.

5. Waiver of Notice and Consent to Hold Meetings.

All such waivers, consents, or approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting.

Such written consent or consents shall be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Board.

Any Director may resign effective upon giving written notice to the Board Chair, the Secretary, or the Board of Directors, unless the notice specifies a later time for the effectiveness of such resignation.
