Board Meeting Minutes Summary: November 2024
External Engagement and Events
- Fin Con: The board decided not to run a room at Fin Con, deeming it “too much.” This decision was influenced by the poor quality of the room provided in the previous year. The overall sentiment is that multi-day conventions are “dying a very slow death.”
- System Familiarity: A need was expressed for the rest of the board to become more familiar with the back-end systems used for signing up members. Scheduling a separate time for this is preferred, as there isn't enough time during combined meetings.
Leadership and Roles
- New Officers/Area Hosts: The agenda included discussions about the need for new officers and a new area host.
Financial Overview (August, September, October)
- August:
- Revenue: ~$4,600 (specifically, $4,600 in change, almost $4,700).
