Call to Action for #MBCUE committees!
Besides being on the board, we also have some wonderful opportunities to still make a difference in our region. We are currently looking for volunteers to serve on our Student Powered Earth Day Film Festival sub-committee, as well as the sub-committee for our upcoming conference on Digital Citizenship. These are great ways to get involved. If this sparks your interest, please contact us at montereybaycue@gmail.com.
MINUTES OF A MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS - 10/30/18
A meeting of the Board of Directors (“the “Board”) of Monterey Bay CUE, a non-profit organization (the “Organization”), was held on 10/30/2018 (Pacific Standard Time) at the Fairview Middle School, Gonzales, CA.
Directors Present:
Ben Cogswell
Jonathan Green
Carrie Sebora
Paul Dietrich
Jen Rodgers
Election Update
As the election comes to a close, we discussed some glows and grows for the future. FlipGrid was definitely a great feature to have as it allowed us to get a better characterisation of the candidates. Some questions that arose included, but not limited to: 1) Should we continue to use Election Buddy?, 2) Ensure that someone double-checks ballots & 3) Providing more time between the election closing and sending out notification letters (giving us time to confirm whether or not a candidate wants to continue being a part of the Board of Directors).
Events
Sponsorship System
We are brainstorming ideas for a possible sponsorship system for MBCUE. Ideas included having a tiered system where the initial tier included a title of “Community Sponsor” and the highest tier included businesses/persons being sponsors for the entire year (including recognition at all MBCUE events and other promotional materials).
DigCit Summit
We have a date, and it’s May 18, 2019! We are still keeping our heads up for a location to hold DigCit and reaching out to various contacts to secure a location this upcoming event.
Film Festival
We’re back at Maya Cinemas! We will be reaching out to our previous sponsors again this year for our upcoming Film Festival.
Board Meet & Greet
MBCUE will hold their Meet & Greet at Monterey Coast Brewery from 4pm-6pm, November 7th.
