5. Note from Moderators about Affinity Events
“For future school emails, You can say it is an affinity space but leave it at that. I think the culture has been built that our community (for the most part) understands that affinity means for a particular identity. The only time we would say anything different is if it is open to the whole community, like Pasko or a showcase, in which case I would emphasize that all are welcome.”
Please remind students to not say things like "Members Only."
6. Work with Filipino Cultural Club for their December meeting?
- Friday, December 12, potential meeting date.
- Co-pres will reach out to FCC.
7. Board bonding?
- Karaoke
- Hotpot/food
- Beach Bonfire
- Rock Climbing
8. Closing
At the end of the meeting: every person will say aloud their action item(s) and deadlines. (instead of Co-Presidents saying this)
Everyone should have at least one action item to complete (if there are enough), and it should be listed on the agenda for everyone to reference.
Questions, comments, concerns? Communicate via Slack and group chat to determine who goes to SIPAC events (aside from required events)
ASC Support
Reminder that we are here for one another!
Don’t hesitate to reach out to other board members for help and support!! Get rest and remember to do something that makes you happy this week!
