PLG Meeting

20 August 2008

5:25pm - 5:45pm

Attendees: Rachel Cannady, Keri Williams, Diana Olivares, Sho Ikeda, Nicole Pagowsky

• Announcements

                2. Our write-up for the Dry River zine has been submitted.

                3. Sandy Berman recently was in a car accident, and a number of Rad Reffers and collectives are sending cards or care packages - we could send a card from our chapter - we could all sign it at the next meeting, or figure out another method to get it out sooner (more discussion should be had if there is interest).

                4. Sho is going to be pretty busy this semester, so we would like to find someone to take over as newsletter editor for the issue we would put out towards the end of this semester. Email Nicole if you are interested. (We already have a template if you would like to use that, or feel free to make your own.)

                5. Don't forget our next meeting is at 6:15pm in the SIRLS multipurpose room, on Wednesday, September 3rd. There is a class in the computer lab until 6pm, so be quiet/curteous if showing up early, as not to disturb them.

• Officer Updates

                1. Sho: will talk to Martin about web space for PLG once the semester starts

                2. Rachel: will be getting Jamba Juice $ from Jacy at the next meeting, the PLG Panel for September 17th is moving along smoothly

• Potential changes to vote on at next meeting (with further discussion) -- all changes, except for #1 would be for Spring

                1. Dues changed to $20/2 years for anyone to join just our chapter - parent membership will be separate and up to the individual (this change would be immediate)

                2. Discussion of removing Vice-President and replacing with "co-President" -- explanation: President, person A would be serving, and a new person, person B, would be elected as co-President (the requirement would be as Co-Pres that this person would need to have no less than 2 semesters left in the program); once that semester is up, the President is automatically out and the co-President (person B) becomes President - then, a new person is elected as co-President, person C. And so on and so forth. If that isn't clear, let Nicole or Rachel know to explain better.

                3. If that change takes place, should the co-President be Treasurer or should that be combined with a different position?

                4. Should we get rid of Events and Social coordinator positions since we have Project Managers?

Next meeting: Wednesday, September 3rd @ 6:15pm

Minutes submitted by: Nicole Pagowsky, President

At our next meeting, we would like to discuss and then vote on the listed items above, after also hearing from officers how they feel about how the positions have been and what their opinions are. We would also like to discuss events on the Project Management page that have no activity and what we would like to do with them, as well as pick a date for the Yoga Fundraiser Rebecca Bliquez could lead again. See you next time!
