RE:

Oath of Office – Anna John Resident Centered Care Community Board

Background
On March 9, 2022, the Oneida Business Committee appointed Brenda VandenLangenberg
to the Anna John Resident Centered Care Community Board.
Brenda’s oath was scheduled for the Oneida Business Committee meeting on March 23,
2022; however, she was unable to attend. Since the next meeting fell outside the 30-day
window, other arrangements to administer her oath were made in accordance with the
Boards, Committees, and Commissions law.
“§105.9-1 (b) If an oath is administered outside of an Oneida Business Committee
meeting, a quorum of Oneida Business Committee members shall be present to
witness the oath.”
On April 7, 2022, Chairman Tehassi Hill administered the oath of office to Brenda
VandenLangenberg, and the following Oneida Business Committee members were present:
Tina Danforth, Daniel Guzman King, David P. Jordan, Kirby Metoxen, and Brandon Stevens.

A good mind. A good heart. A strong fire.

For the record: Councilwoman Marie Summers stated it’s an important initiative and there is so much
homelessness through the pandemic, I just want to be clear that I’m not supporting something that’s
just a random request coming from some entity. The reason why I am going to support it is because it’s
a homeless shelter and then because we are in a pandemic and that all over Indian Country there are
homeless people that have substance disorders and they’re in real big trouble right now. So, I would
support continuing to help the shelter for now. Thank you.
For the record: Councilman Daniel Guzman King stated I don’t support the funds coming out of the
Community Economic Development fund.

SUBJECT:

UWGB Council of Trustee Appointment

A letter was received from UWGB Chancellor Alexander and Dr. Tina Sauerhammer UWGB
Dean, requesting applicants for the Council of Trustees. This one seat serves at the discretion
of the Chancellor as approved by the Business Committee. Other Oneida Citizens can serve in
other seats concurrently as the Business Committee appointed seat.
Ben Joniaux, UWGB Government and External Relations Director indicated there is a wide array
of different people serving on the committee. They are looking for someone who can be a
representative of the Oneida Nation on the Council. It is there hope this is a way to ensure that
through leadership changes at UWGB that they can continue the relationship and have a direct
point of contact specifically for the Council.
Please note, there is a $1000 annual contribution to be made to the university to serve the
Council. If the Nation chooses to do so, it can make payment on behalf of the representative
that is selected.
Below is the mission statement that guides who they typically nominate:




Collaborate with and advise the Chancellor in the strategy, planning and operations of
UWGB in support of its goal to become the recognized comprehensive campus in
Wisconsin for providing the best‐value academic experience for its students and for
being a value‐added partner for economic growth initiatives in the region.
Actively support the work of advancing the mission of the University through special
projects including but not limited to philanthropy, advocacy, networking for the purpose
of creating opportunities for students and faculty and active support of high impact
academic and non‐academic programs (e.g., Phoenix Athletics; the arts and music).

Kirby,
Thank you for your comments. For those Board Members who are unable to attend, I will create a
Board Retreat Summary as I have in the past.
I am happy to include fundraising as a topic for the Board Retreat.
I have included the Board Retreat letter with the hotel information for your planning purposes.
We look forward to seeing you!

Subject: Re: Board Retreat - May 3-4, 2022
Good Afternoon Sherry,
Since my office was not receiving confirmation on reimbursement, I reached out to other board
members and found they were not sure if travel was reimbursed either. It might be difficult for
board members that live outside the lower 48 to afford to attend. Will there be a virtual option for
those Board Members who are unable to attend?
In prior years, AIANTA has budgeted for Board Members to attend retreat and has done a good job
at fundraising, however I feel that getting Federal funding has deterred efforts. I would like to
request that fundraising be a topic that is addressed during the retreat in order to create an
unrestricted funds category for Board Member’s expenses so we are not solely dependent of Federal
Funds.
Please forward me the name and address of the Hotel that the retreat will be held at so I can start
making travel arrangements. Thank you for clarifying the justification for an in person retreat.

Subject: Board Retreat - May 3-4, 2022
Good Afternoon Board,
Kirby has reached out and asked if there are funds for Board Members to travel in for our Board
Retreat. As stated in various meetings and during new Board Member orientation, travel costs are
to be covered by the Board Member. AIANTA is a non-profit and looks to our volunteer Board to
invest of their time and treasure to help us reach our mission. AIANTA currently does not have
unrestricted funds to accommodate Board travel, and federal funds do not cover Board expenses.
This Retreat is an in-person gathering May 3-4, 2022 in order to bring you all together in person to
get the most interaction and conversation that takes place during in person meetings. The following
are reasons why this face-to-face meeting is important:
We will be discussing important and complex strategic ideas that can best be shared face-toface
Being in person will limit technology issues
Strong relationships are the key to long-term business success. This opportunity provides a
sense of human interaction, which can help build trust and make it easier to form deeper
connections.
Communicating face-to-face promotes clear communication and decreases the likelihood of
misinterpreted texts, emails or other communications and increases the clarity in our
organization
We will have your full attention and is more likely to increase engagement and limit
distractions
We will follow up shortly with an invitation letter and an agenda for your planning purposes.
Sherry
