songwriters (in both official languages), they are hoping to stimulate
submissions. They are asking AHCAC to
provide them with contact names to ensure that their call for submissions does
not inadvertently overlook groups that are defined by musical style or
ethnicity.

COMMITTEE STRUCTURE
Member Griffiths had circulated an email prior to the meeting with her concerns on
the Committee structure. Chair Masciantonio stated that this has been an ongoing issue with some committee
members for quite some time now.
Committee members made a number of suggestions and stated their
opinions:
·
Leave the committee as is;
·
2 completely separate committees;
·
Alternate monthly meetings;
·
One Committee of the whole and 2
separate agenda – break into sub-groups
·
Not enough time at monthly meetings to
deal with both Heritage and Arts issues on the agenda;
·
Loss of key members;
·
New committee structure to be in place
prior to the 2005 fall recruitment;
·
The Committee is reactive rather than
proactive;
·
Meeting by email is not the answer;
·
Agenda structure.
