[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)
