- Mentor Nights: Jason Salazar (ASME)
- The SPU event went well. There were around 43 mentors in attendance (the most ever). There will be no event at Seattle U this year but they are interested in holding one next year.
- Jason is looking to have more events in Fall since we tend to have more in the Spring but it is difficult to schedule Fall events because of the school calendars are tighter. It would help to start planning a bit earlier.
- Jason is looking to coordinate with the SWE and their mentoring events.
- We are always looking for volunteer coordinators
- Steve is looking for help with coordinating the Shoreline event.
- ISOW: Dave Butcher (IEEE)
- Dave is looking for a co-coordinator for the event. It was suggested that a Young Member Forum person might be a good place to look. Dave will look into this.
