MINUTES WIS STEERING COMMITTEE MEETING OF May 6, 1994 Members of the steering committee met in Room T258 of the Otowi Building. Attending members were: Lois Dauelsberg Denise George Shirley Herrera Deborah Kubicek Susan Roach Karen Schultz Paige Jo Skrivan Leslie Swanson Lynda Towers Trish Wright Trish Wright has agreed to replace the second board member for the next year and a half. Welcome to the board Trish and Susan. Deborah contacted DeDe Collins for a list of those LAWIS members who paid their dues directly to the Network. DeDe said to contact Libby Haas. Tried but has not been able to. The summer picnic is set for Friday July 29th. Karen will call to schedule Urban Park. Deborah, Shirley, and Trish have volunteered to organize this event. Review of discussions: should ask for an RSVP, should charge a "token" fee (e.g. $2/person, $5/family, students free, under a certain age for free). The Network Talk has been changed from June 22nd to Tues June 21st due to a lack of rooms available. Karen will reserve two rooms. Each room can hold up to 25 people. The lunch will be a catered buffet for a fee. It was decided to bring in an outside speaker in order to attract more interest. Denise will look into finding a contact for the Women's Coalition Speakers Bureau for an outside speaker. Someone will contact the training & development office to get a copy of their list of speakers/facilitators. Leslie will do the fliers for the Network Talk. Several board info changes: Karen: MS E525 Trish: MS E506 5-2499 Susan: MS H820 5-0946 Leslie: MS C931 ESA-11 none Concern was raised again about the number of people who are not receiving any mail from the WIS. It was therefore agreed that the board neededs to contact not only those who had not returned their survey and/or dues but also others to make sure we have their correct mailing addresses and to make sure they are receiving mail. Shirley will update the lab info (Group, MS, work phone #) for the list of members who work here at the Lab. Next meeting will be around noon on Wednesday May 18th. Karen will arrange the room and send us all out notices. ************************************************************ ** Agenda items for May 18th Steering Committee Meeting ** ************************************************************ Summary of what has been accomplished since the last board meeting.
