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.

Welcome
This meeting started with a “Getting To Know You” for our new Board Members. Board members and their respective roles were described.
Events
DigCit Summit
The date is set for May 18th, 2019, and we’re currently looking for a venue to host DigCit Summit Monterey California. One of the advantages of holding the event at a local school is that we’d potentially have more of a turnout from students and parents.
DigCit Summit isn’t just for teachers - it’s for students and parents too! The following are some ideas for Pricing, Sponsorship Tiers and Strands:
Pricing
$25 until January, 2019
$30 until April, 2019
$35 until May, 2019
Family Pass - $50
Students - $10
10 years old and under - Free
Sponsorship
$1,000 - Originator
$500 - Producer
$100 - Contributor
Strands
At the moment, there are three strands in discussion: Educator, Family and Student. The Educator Strand would incorporate Common Sense Curriculum; the Family Strand would incorporate PTA and CABE topics, and the Student strand is still in the works.
Student Powered Film Festival
Details of the Film Festival will be discussed at our next meeting. At the moment, the event is set to be held on April 23rd, 2019. Our set up time will be at 5pm, and the event will take place from 6-8pm.
Next steps include looking into companies to obtain event liability insurance and sending out notices to schools and social media.
Maya Cinemas has confirmed to be the hosting venue for our 2nd Annual Student Powered Film Festival, and now we must look to last year’s sponsors (and new sponsors) to determine if they are interested in supporting our event once again.
Report of the Treasurer
We are close to getting signing access to the Comerica account. The current account balance is anticipated to be at $6,296.46 - this needs to be verified.
