Rollercoaster of emotions with opening of the district – hit with tragic death
Question – What could we have done different?
Excited about eBay building announcement – would love to pick your brain about what you can give or ideas – would love to do field trip with you – legacy to the community – more to come on that – Board will meet in October round table to talk about progress and pathways – credentials, degrees, partnerships, excitement from higher education
Public feedback has been positive.
Setting up to be something special – stay at current school and program in
Targeting fall of 2026 to open – with accessibility of Trax & Frontrunner it’s great – first class, state of the art
Great for Gala and other events – auditorium seats about 400 – possible showcases with kids – Ted talks
Founders’ month – lots of activities in the district to support this, did essays to support this, very inspirational
Golf Tournament – excited to support– one of my favorites to attend

Agree with what Rick said – great opportunity with Innovations Center
We were going to do something different with high profile speaker but with announcement of Innovations Center we will hold off on that event – will do similar event to what we’ve done
Will celebrate past, present, future with this event – announce to people what we will be doing with new building
Location at Zions Tech Center in Midvale – increases our capacity by double and we can bring in more money
Date is March 27, 2025
We need to up our game and look to increase our sponsorship and if you have a connection to sponsors on spreadsheet, we want you to reach out about increasing sponsorships -want to build in and lean in to innovations center by joining this event as a great way to start this process – talking and marketing this new center – will prepare marketing materials for you to use and share, printed and electronic
Will email spreadsheet as google doc and you can add your name as contact for sponsorship – our goal is to raise $100,000 in sponsorships – next year we want to raise even more
Add Oakland Construction, Savage
Super exciting – opportunity to share our excitement about innovation center
Celebration is priming for 2026 – let them know why they want to be involved in this, start basic and hope they see the value and want to do more in years to come
Brainstorming as a committee each level – create experiences for each level sponsorship
Let us know keynote or entertainer for this year – dessert dash this year because we would have more room, technology will allow us to have more opportunities for presentations
Any ideas let us know – décor or if you want to be on the committee
Do we want to do an auction? – maybe focus auction just for golf tournament
Maybe 36-hole tournament instead of 18?
