I believe the plan is to have a general meeting next week (topic undecided) and to have our first officers meeting the week after that. Although, depending on the attendance of the first meeting, we may address officer topics. --- Chris Hoff On Jan 17, 2008, at 3:25 PM, John Rearick wrote: > Are we meeting tonight?

We have some important decisions we need to make. GSB funding meetings are coming up. The schedule is below. Organizations that wish to apply for Regular Allocations MUST attend one of the four informational sessions: Tuesday, January 29 at 11am in Room 3512 - Memorial Union Thursday, January 31 at 4pm in Room 3512 - Memorial Union Monday, February 4 at 6pm in Room 3512 - Memorial Union Wednesday, February 6 at 6pm in the Oak Room - Memorial Union The question is, should we apply for funding? As I think most of you are aware, Jordan and I will be leaving Ames and ISU in May. Currently, Jordan is the group secretary and I am the group treasurer. All organizations are required to have a president, treasurer, and faculty/staff adviser. However, the president and treasurer can be the same person. Our current officer lineup looks like this: President Brandon J Newendorp Adviser Thomas Hillson Treasurer Christopher D Hoff Vice President Jonathan T Salvador Secretary Jordan M Hoff So the obvious void to fill for the upcoming year is treasurer. As a student organization, our officers must be students. So, if the one or two students we'll have left in the group next year aren't willing to step up and learn how to be treasurer, the group can't continue. I can train anyone on the treasurer duties. It isn't all that difficult since I've kept everything - so examples on anything you'd need to do are available. Another option would be to convert the group to a campus organization. This would mean no more GSB funding, but filling officer positions would be easier because they can be anyone from the university community. And without GSB to worry about, the treasurer position would be easy. And I suppose the final possibility is to dissolve the group entirely. If we go that route, we'll have to deal with our assets. (Assets may even be an issue if we go to campus org status - not sure how GSB purchased items would be handled in that case). At the GSB funding meeting, they will request information about our org, such as who the officers are. I can only make the first two GSB funding meetings. The later two I have class. Unfortunately, the two meeting options are both before our next officer's meeting (this Thursday). So we can try and figure this all out over email, or maybe hold an "emergency" officer's meeting on Tuesday night (at 7?). To add another complication, our organization will expire in a few weeks. This happens every year. To renew we have to collect signatures of all officers and our adviser on a Compliance Agreement Form. I don't think this should be done until we know our plans for next year. All recipients - please respond to this email. Everyone's input is needed!

I can tell you from experience that loosing experienced people can kill a group, especially if they are some of the more active members. In our original MacUsers Group we lost lots of people and stayed active, until we hit a period where we lost the two most active members, then the group dies as no one wanted to do the work to keep it going. I am happy to help in any way I can, but I got burnt out doing too much with our original Mac Users Group, that happens if you do not have a good recruiting effort.
