SMUSC Executive Meeting - 13 January 2006 - 5th Floor Student Center

Minutes

Proceedings

Discussions were mostly on the questionnaire that we filled out (see attachment). A survey of the members sailing experience and what they want from the Club, directions. It may appear that the Club is race driven but that is not the focus at all, we want to be wide open and inclusive. Chris Hurst(VP) is a Tall Ships person, maybe there are keel boat types as well who have never ever been in a dinghy and then there are the students who have an interest in sailing but have no idea where to start or what to ask.

Also mention during the meeting was a need for volunteers to help with the Societies Expo in February. Ryan Kelly has a stack of sailing pictures, a collage as a back drop. I'm also chasing after a ESPN video shoot from Intercollegiate Team Races that was done last fall to run at the table. We hope to have 5 prototype T-shirts to show off at the Expo.

A call on the Club members to volunteer, identify an area of expertise. We need help in formation of committees to address things like Transportation, Sponsors (Financial ideas), Social activities, etc. etc. etc.

Ryan Kelly did a talk on the Spring Clinic, we will survey the Club members to see who needs a CYA upgrade and what levels they want to upgrade.

Katie, Chris and I did a spiel on ourselves, I am a Club member in the Club's Afterguard. An "Alumni" classification that is made up of graduated students and persons wanting to be involved with the Club.
