The Mid Mon Valley Cultural Trust continues to undergo board changes as the Board has accepted the resignation of Gary W. Hoover.  The number of board members remaining is now 4.  In a meeting on August the 19th , the Board decided to plan changes in the by-laws for an increased number of Board slots to 9 and possibly 11 to ensure a wide level of expertise necessary to enable the board to function properly.  In the upcoming meeting on September 9th, there will be a discussion on the agenda concerning the Board expansion and other by-law changes.
The board will hold interviews at the September meeting to fill some of the slots that are currently vacant.  “We are going to provide an open and transparent process in filling the open board slots and potentially expanding the Board.  The public has to be certain that everything that the Trust does is done in a transparent manner with not a hint of impropriety. ”, Organizational consultant and Trust spokesperson Barry Cassidy stated. “Anyone who feels they have something to offer should send a letter of interest to MMVCT, PO Box 15 Charleroi PA 15022”.
The Board discussed the potential for partnership with the River Towns program sponsored by the Pennsylvania Environmental Council.  Barry Cassidy will present a revised economic development strategy to the Charleroi Borough Council on September 5th that will include some language provided by the River Towns program as the groups look to potentially partner on the upcoming revitalization effort.
The Board also discussed the relationship with the Friends of the Coyle and how the partnership would work for the betterment of the organization.  In other actions approved the contract with consultant Barry Cassidy with changes relating to procedural matters that needed refining to ensure the continuation of services for the next year.
