Upcoming funding cycles
Last day to submit for the last funding cycle is next week on the 20th
First funding hearing is on the 25th
Upcoming elections - “intern” program
Anuja and Christina C want to move up the timeline for training members who enter new positions by moving up the election timeline to allow for training to happen over the course of the semester.
The intern program allows for greater shadowing of positions that new members are interested in.

Don't snitch on who the speaker is
Once I receive more info for ISS speakers, I will ask CEB to vote on a speaker to recommend to the ISS committee for collaboration. As a reminder this event will be in late March.

Probably late March, week of the 22nd

Rate for JJ is only 25k
Offor is early so that we do not have to wait
