Meeting Minutes

Meeting Called to order at 3:00pm

Present: Jerami, Shannon, Christine, Megan, Anna Marie, Jasmine, Ron and 1 guest

Next meeting will be our last for the semester. We can make a potluck if anyone is interested.

We will nominate and vote in new officers and talk a little more about the upcoming semester.
UAA has unveiled the portal, and I have already set up our PRSSA group. Please join if you can. If you can’t I will have to figure out how to invite you. It should be better than our yahoo group because everyone at UAA will see it every time they search for a group. I put ours under social group category.

Here are some points we discussed today.
Happy Birthday PRSSA
Problems with communications – email doesnt always work…make followup calls
Projects – will be taking one major outside project and focusing on smaller projects to gain interest
Recruitment – putting together brochures and membership packets. They are almost complete.
We can make the informational packet and new member packets separate
Keep talking to people about PRSSA to get more members for fall.

Weekly Task List

OK I know It’s late in the semester, so I hope you are still with me. I think you all have been waiting for something like this – sign up for the tasks you KNOW you can handle – write it in the comments section below the post or email me when you start and finish. I will cross them off as we complete them.

Note-We may have canceled the JPC Speed Networking event, but since we have already reserved the Wolf Den, we can still plan a party 18 days out and invite alumni and PRSA. If they dont come, oh well, we can still have fun for a couple hours. I will write up a report about everything we did, or tried to do this semester, what we accomplished and what we hope to accomplish. We can have a mocktail party, potluck or pizza party.
