 You^th
Are Here Buses- Jump
on the Bus
Summer
Schedule June 23 – August 15
This bus
will drive you crazy! Crazy for sports! Crazy for reading! Crazy for
hanging out with friends! This summer, the You^th Are Here
circulator buses are back on the streets of north and south
Minneapolis, giving kids and teens a safe, reliable way to get to
their summer activities. And it’s free! The two bus routes stop at
some popular places—libraries, parks, and community centers that
offer youth activities. For your ticket to summer fun, just jump on
the bus!
Registration
for the bus is required. To learn more about the Youth
Coordinating Board’s You^th Are Here buses, visit this

YCB
in Transition
A
message from the Board Chair
Dear Friends:
Please join me in thanking Judith Kahn, who
left her position as Executive Director of the YCB on June 6, 2008,
for her strong leadership and service to children and youth.
Judith will remain with the YCB for a short time to complete an
important project she spearheaded, the Children’s Report Card, which will better track the well-being of
Minneapolis children and youth.
On behalf of the Executive Committee of the
Youth Coordinating Board, I am pleased to announce our Transitional
Leadership Team of Suzann Eisenberg Murray (Transition Director),
Carol Miller (Deputy Transition Director of Early Childhood), and
Transition Team members Dick Mammen and Eleanor Coleman.
Suzann, a founding partner of the Dendros
Group, has consulted with organizations and their leaders for
decades, and is recognized for her experience in transitional
leadership. Most recently, she guided the YCB through a strategic
planning process, giving her intimate knowledge of the YCB's
mission, goals, and projects. Carol Miller is a long-time
manager for Hennepin County and expert on early childhood issues;
she previously served the YCB as Deputy Director for Early Childhood
from 2001-06. Dick Mammen, who serves as Director of Community
Recreation for the Minneapolis
Park
and Rec
Board, is known to many for his decades of leadership on youth
issues, including with YCB and Yo! The Movement, among many other
organizations. Eleanor Coleman, Chief of Student Support, Family
& Community Engagement for Minneapolis Public Schools, will
round out the team and maintain the strong partnership with our
schools needed on many YCB projects.
Suzann, Carol, Dick and Eleanor will ensure
that the YCB maintains momentum and remains focused on its current
projects, including the Youth Congress, the Youth are Here Bus, 500
under 5, and other initiatives, as we search for a new Executive
Director. If you have questions or desire more information
please go to www.ycb.orgfor regular transition updates. To speak
with a Transition Team member please call the YCB at (612) 673-2060
or e-mail Suzann Eisenberg Murray at suzann@dendros.com.
This is an exciting time for the YCB, as we are
sharpening our focus on political leadership at a critical time for
children and youth. Thank you for your attention to the work
of the YCB.
