Closed Meeting Notes

Teresa Carlesimo <██████████████████████████ > To: Josh Schwebel <privatejosh@gmail.com>

Hi Josh,

Include anything important I might have missed during our chat. Here are the most salient items:

Preamble:
- Both J and T expressed concern regarding █████'s competence to do the job, and especially to do the job well, these concerns are due to a clear lack of understanding of how to complete basic administrative tasks and to stay on point during meetings
- Both J and T have independently had the impression that █████ isn't taking the role very seriously
- There is evidence to suggest █████ overstated her experience
- Reconsidering ██████ first and ████ second
- If we need to take the path of terminating █████'s employment the process will likely be to contact ██████ first to see if she's able to accept the position before terminating
- Josh indicated that █████ is applying for a full-time job elsewhere and she was candid in saying that if she gets the job that would be her priority over grant-writing

Action Items:
- Josh will create an agenda for Tuesday, Sept 1st meeting—will always have agendas going forward
- Contract will not be signed on Tuesday, Sept 1st; ████ ████ ████ █ ██████ ██ ██████████ █ ██████ ██ █████ █████
- Sept 1st meeting J and T will assign █████ a piece of grant writing (precise form of writing TBD) in order to have concrete materials to evaluate proficiency, and if needed to use to demonstrate a clear lack of ability to do the job well in the event of termination 
- Assigned writing will be due on the following Monday
- J and T to evaluate the outcome of Sept 1st meeting—did █████ produce and complete what was asked for and if so how well were these tasks done?
- J and T to remain on call for a closed meeting following Sept 1st meeting

My best,

Thanks Teresa,
This is excellent. I will get back to you tomorrow with proposals for a writing assignment for █████ and draft an agenda for Tuesday’s meeting.
Best,
Josh

hi Teresa,
as you can see from the meeting agenda I prepared, I thought we could request that █████ start on a draft and outline for the CCA report. Do you think that is adequate?

Hi Josh,

I do think that's adequate. We can discuss with her on Tuesday what that looks like and how fleshed out you want it, but as long as it's not a skeleton outline, I think it's great!

See you tomorrow,

Thanks, good...
I think we will also have a lot to go on based on how much is prepared by tomorrow and what state things are in.
Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow.
