Board Meeting 2/11/20

  • [The board has retired to executive session to discuss an ongoing personnel matter]
  • Training – getting started
    • Club fair
      • Dillon signed up for club fair, but it doesn’t seem like we’re gonna get a spot; that being said, Dillon will be at the club fair with a different group and apparently they don’t need it, so we should still have a presence there
    • Alternatively, we can also use merch table in Usdan as opportunity to sign people up for training
    • Once we have an idea of how many people are interested, then we can set up an info session
  • Antenna (damage = 10K)
    • University hasn’t given any indication that that expense is on us, so we should be good 
  • Pledge drive – done!!! Yay 🙂
    • But Ben M does still need help with pledge drive gifts and such
  • Reporting on MCA grant – convoluted finance stuff within Wes’s finance system
  • Record fair payment stuff – SBC
    • This has made us realize that we need a sit-down to get on the same page, with Ben M, Dillon, Carina, Dylan, whoever else…
  • Wesleyan magazine contacted Ben M because they want to do an article about WESU
  • Legacy documents
    • Has been an ongoing discussion for about 2 years
    • There are some positions that have something; everyone should go into the WESU folder to see if there is anything there
  • Ben M: we should make a google group for the board in lieu of the board email
  • Dillon: long term goals that we will discuss in upcoming weeks
  • Updated staff list – this should be part of our housekeeping every new season, to make sure we’re updating with new DJs and such from last season’s training
    • This could be done as easily as circulating something at a staff meeting?
  • Record fair flyer – Lulu and Dylan can work on this together, but also Lulu has friends who are solid graphic designers
    • Not trying to be too wacky, but can be somewhat wacky and creative
    • Dylan has the language and knows what needs to be in there
  • Anthony Fantano event
    • Still feeling it out
    • Ben has reached out to him, discussing budget and fees currently (when Fantano does a gig through Manic Productions, he usually gets $2500, so Rick’s suggestion is to offer him $1500 and see if he’ll work with us)
    • If we could put out a YouTube video of him interviewing a band, that would be incredible PR for us
    • Potential for us to use some of the MDs’ budget toward this event (we usually use a few hundred out of that budget for other purposes)
  • EXEC BOARD MEETING TIME: THURS @ 11:30 AM
