Advertising
Postering everywhere, social media
Social media was great! -Taylor
UMC table tents
Logistics
Smooth and well-run
No major issues
Do a mic check to teach the speaker how to use it
If there is food post event, make sure it is in a place that does not cause cues of people to block exits.
Potentially also dismiss people by sections or rows
Compostable utensils?
Around half Macky (about 400 people)
Content
There wasn’t that much diversity in the speakers and the content that they were speaking on
Mostly therapy-related
We can watch the talks on Youtube once they are up
Everything was related to the topic of Breaking Boundaries
Future Notes
Good content for the topic, but not necessarily related to our mission statement
Possibly talk to TEDxCU about aligning with our mission statement so that we can continue funding them

Psychedelic Club “Cannabis and Psychedelic Symposium,” April 15th @ 4:00 PM to April 16th @ 6:00 PM, 2022, Norlin Quad and Zoom
Aneesh & Inji
Updates:
We’ve received their marketing
First, on the home page, it says April 16th and 17th, but they told us their dates are April 15th and 16th (their schedule also makes no mention of the 17th).
Secondly, the schedule simply lists the 15th as “Pre-Party - More details coming soon” but doesn’t make mention of the art and music plans they had. I just want to know if that’s still happening and make sure they didn’t spend their funding on anything we didn’t approve.
Lastly, they have a lot more guest speakers, which is awesome, but I also just want to make sure that they are only paying Dr. Bidwell with CEB funds.
In my meeting with them, they did mention that they would be applying for ASSG funds and they do have the ASSG logo on their posters. This is likely where they’re getting the rest of their funding, but I want to be sure because of the issues we’ve run into with some other orgs.
Poster notes:
Title is not centered
Comma needed in the date
Change the colors of the fonts
Maybe capitalize the whole word Saturday since all other words are fully capitalized
South Asian Student Association “SASA Show 2022,” April 16th, 2022, 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM, CU Recreation Center (Lower Court)
Anuja & Jemil
Updates:
Their banner funding hasn't gone through despite being funded by us
Anuja has reached out to Jamey
They are build-a-sign
Alexis will speak to Jamey tomorrow to see if they can order it on a CSI card, or if they want to use a reimbursement option.
CU Breaking Club “Rockers Rumble 14,” April 2nd, 2022, 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM, Muenzinger Psychology
Attended:
Teagan
Apoorva
Anuja
Advertising
Unapproved advertising on Instagram
I did not see anything online regarding this event- Taylor
Didn’t really see postering around campus
This meant that most of the people in attendance were competitors and not students
They should have tabled in the UMC more to garner student interest and attendance
They could get creative with stuff like dancing around campus
Logistics
Actually was April 3rd and from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and was in the UMC
Not what their budget request said
Ended up not buying the mats that we funded
What about the one that they were going to donate
The dancers were really tired because a lot of them had been dancing all day
They can ask us to fund water and other items to ensure hydration and not letting people get hypoglycemic
Content
It was a very cool event
Good representation of hip-hop culture
Lots of attendance from around the US
DJ was very good
Everyone was having a good time
Anuja has videos
Future Notes
Advertise more!
Hillel “Israel Fest 2022,” April 7th, 2022, 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM, Farrand Field
Allie
Updates:
Advertising was approved and they were very quick to be able to produce that new version
The outside funding that they’re receiving is from CU Hillel
They’ve shared their final list of participating organizations (can view on doc in drive)
Currently working on:
Parking rental and figuring out permission to unload/reload equipment
Solving electricity issues
New Allocations
Henna Artist was originally allocated $600, but their new quote is $190, so $410 extra remaining. They requested to reallocate $133.50 from that remainder to the Rec Center for chairs and tables
Approved by Chair
Their DJ had a family emergency and returned to Israel, so they needed to reallocate the original $472.50 that we allocated for DJ to their new DJ (Brigitte Zadok)
Approved by Chair
Could we get them to use a card swipe machine
It would be hard to get them on board with this idea
Would go against their “anyone can swing by” idea of what attendance is
We could have them put the swiper at the food booth
Most of their attendance is probably going to be food involved
It would be nice to be able to gauge active attendance
It may be a good idea to heavily encourage all orgs to use a card swipe to guarantee quantitative attendance number
Who will be attending?
Allie
Alexis (4-5)
Inji (5-6)
Aneesh (6-7)
Bailey (3-3:30)
August
Nepalese Student Association “Nepal Night: Expedition to the Himalayas,” April 15th, 2022, 6:00 PM to 10:30 PM, Williams Village Multipurpose Room
Anuja & Teagan
Updates:
Anuja met with them - they know they can get full meals within the budget we gave them but have chosen to go with appetizer-type stuff
Remember this for next year (it’ll come up)

Advisor(s)
Hourly positions: Please fill out your hours if you haven’t already done so and continue to do so for the remainder of the semester.
“Sorry about messing that up” - Aneesh
Can we get approval power back to chair for hourly pay cycles?
It’s being worked on.
May be due to the switch over to Kronos
Alexis will ask UMC for extra furniture
Leg Council
Absent
Finance Board Liaison
None!
Marketing Coordinator
Anuja- can we set up a time this week to talk about retreat?
Speakers Coordinator
Bring one speaker idea and 30 second blurb about why to retreat
It’s important to think about and hopefully agree upon a speaker during retreat
The earlier we start working on this, the easier it is next year for when we need to actually get the speaker to come (hopefully)
Student Outreach Coordinator
CSI is also feeling the stress of student orgs right now. They are experiencing the same things that we talked about last week.
Hillel continues to not follow funding guidelines and then expects CSI to just deal with going about funding/reimbursement.
They also signed an 8000 contract with Artists for Israel.
Alexis and Anuja, can we have a meeting about this at some point?
