Beth:

  • First official board meeting! Yay! Explaining how we usually structure this meeting
    • Thursdays at 5:30 will be this semester’s meeting time
  • To do for me:
    • WesAdmits post re: work study — need a little bit more info on it, email to staff with everyone’s board hours + the little calendar i made
      • Responsibilities: Mailings, operating logs, scriptwriting for the Jive at Five, record filing/management
  • Booked a show!
    • The band is Shopping — still not entirely secured
    • Presented by WESU — this is very easy to keep doing!
    • Make sure we have the banner up + merch table
  • Dividing short term vs long term goals – ways to think about the upcoming year:
    • 80th anniversary
