We seem to have agreed on the following. - General meetings are the ones we have been doing. This includes the Will Vinton event even though it was a big drawer. Size doesn't determine whether it is an event or a meeting. - Events are specially coordinated/arranged above and beyond the normal meetings. May involve extra fees. - Question of what to charge for regular events. We said it'd be free if you were a member of the Cascade Chapter. Otherwise, there will be an entrance fee. - Governing SIGGRAPH recommends about 4 gen meetings/year when starting out - Governing SIGGRAPH will give us $200, plus we can get loans of $1000 at a time which have to be paid back w/in 4 months - Showing of reels at general meetings - Wish we could get more students to show - Seemed to be feeling that students needed more motiviation and that the current setup isn't attractive enough. Also, having work in front of the whole group may be too intimidating for students. - Will try to make this more attractive by making the viewings more private and getting more one-on-one feedback to the students - Workshops - This was mentioned as something that could be considered. - The Board - We know for sure that treasurer and PR positions (Erin and Marlynn) will be leaving and not running for re-election - Elections - All positions will be up for election - Bios should include description of who they are, education, professional info, why they think they'd be the best candidate and/or what they would bring to the position/organization - Schedule: - Aug 4: send out request for candidates and bios ask candidates to mail back to bio@cascadesiggraph.org - Aug 21: Post and/or email out the bios to all members - Aug 28 (midnight PDT): all votes must be returned via email - Dues - We have now voted on this twice. It was suggested that we yet again change what we want to charge - typical dues are: - $25 for regular non-ACM - $15 for member or student - corporate: $50 first person, $10 each person thereafter - coroporate sponsor: $250 - no decision seems to have been reached on this Membership packets - work on the form can be done - some info like address is needed, but this shouldn't hold up the work - Need a letter signed by chair. Michael doesn't need to write it necessarily. Not clear who was going to write this, but Michael seemed to implicitly agree to this. - website needs to be updated. Michael said that currently the website says that to become a member you just fill in the email box ETheater Event - Herc to talk with Mark Noland. Hopefully, Mark can help us out with the Hollywood Theater arrangements. - Herc to be lead on planning of this event - legalities. Seems like we are ok. Other chapters have done this. - need to make sure we get enough money to cover costs. Might cost 500-600 to put on this event. - reel is on a DVD so we will have to make sure that we can have this shown reasonably in the theater - Michael to work on getting $200 from SIGGRAPH to help with this event - This will be the first event we have where we will charge dues Other: We are not to use "sponsor". These companies/people should be referred to as "donors". - NEXT COMMITTEE MEETING Wasn't specified. Back
