Board Elections: We need 3 people to serve on the board nomination committeefor next month’s board elections. We will need to fill 4 slots. Committee members will be responsible for identifying candidates, collecting biographies, and running the election. No interest was shown at meeting, please contact Matt Dineen if interested.
Website update: Stream needs a static IP address from studio computer, not transmitter site in order to improve. The Web committee is creating an updated website to increase usability with a possible further upgrade to a new system in the future.
Fundraising update: Trivia night: $80, Eddie Bartok Barrata performance: $205.
We are preparing a mass mailing but still need content for envelopes. Jake S. will draft a letter. We need to generate survey cards to be returned with pledges. Volunteers should contact Tony Shannon.
The idea of underwriting was further explored: we will continue to pursue the limited list with a plan to move forward with more companies if this list is successful. There is a possibility to hire a commissioned employee to pursue underwriting, but it is not feasible at this time.
Programming Proposal: The programming committee restructuring proposal was presented. After an agreement that this proposal would not in any way replace or supersede the by-laws it was voted on. 16 were in favor and 1 opposed. There was one abstention. The proposal was approved. The next step is to come up with definitive collectives. Collectives should be proposed either before or at the next Programming Committee meeting.
