PRESENTATION:
5. None OLD BUSINESS:
6. 2015 Artist of Year:
a. Use of Artwork Agreement: Cassandra still needs some questions answered before she can finalize her draft for the committee to review. Does the Chamber want to retain proceeds from sales? Does the Chamber want rights to produce products using the winning image?
b. First Friday Event (Fall 2015): Committee decided that November would be a good month. Jess reached out to Brianna and she agreed.
c. Brainstorm opportunities to promote the Artist of the Year through Chamber: Liz presented the committee with the sign for the Artist of the Year table. The committee liked the sign but commented that it should not be glossy in the future. Do we want to establish requirements that the Artist of the year participate at certain events (Golden Days, etc.)? Emilie is going to look into the possibility of a partnership between the Summer Arts Festival and the Chamber Artist of the year. Possibly a class led by the artist?
7. Youth Arts Scholarship:
a. Proposal to Executive Committee and Board of Directors: June will draft proposal for committee to discuss at next meeting. Reminder that UAF disbursement procedures to ensure scholarship goes towards businesses classes should be included in proposal.
b. Scholarship sustainment: Committee discussed funding the scholarship with Artist of the Year
sales. This would be possible but the scholarship can’t necessarily depend on it. June plans to reach out to Pogo to ask for a 3 year commitment. Committee will hold a sub-committee meeting on May 13 @ 2:00PM at the Arts Association Bear Gallery.
8. Jo Scott Business & the Arts Award: June presented the committee with a draft proposal. Staff will

Memorandum
To: Greater Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors From: June Rogers, Business & the Arts Committee Chair Date: June ___, 2015 Re: Jo Ryman Scott Business & the Arts Award
Members Include: Chair – June Rogers, McCafferty’s Coffee House; Bryn McElroy, Tanana Valley Watershed Association; Jess Pena, Fairbanks Arts Association; Jeremia Schrock, Downtown Association of Fairbanks; Emilie Wright, Fairbanks Summer Arts Festival; Corlis Taylor, Fairbanks Memorial Hospital; Cassandra Tilly, Opera Fairbanks Summary of award proposal: The Business and the Arts Committee proposes a yearly award to be given, at the Chamber’s annual meeting, to a chamber member who demonstrates their community commitment by supporting the endeavors of successful and supportive relationships in business and the arts, to be called the Jo Ryman Scott Business & the Arts Award. Jo Ryman Scott is a long-time member of the Greater Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce and pioneered the initial relationship of arts and business by regularly attending Chamber board meetings and demonstrating the importance of a strong arts community. The Chamber’s current Business and the Arts committee would not be possible without the beginning relationship that was established by Jo and her understanding of supportive partnerships.
There are, of course, others in this diverse community who deserve to be celebrated and remembered for the special works that they do on behalf of building a great Fairbanks. This award will provide the opportunity to recognize their efforts, while continuing each year to recognize Jo Ryman Scott for the admirable example that she gave to future Fairbanks generations.
Please give our request positive consideration.
