Thanks for everyones help

Mentor nights

UW Bothel on 1 Mar had 17 mentors and 45 students

ISOW

June tentative date 3 Jun
John to help with reservation at UW Magnuson Park
Andrew to work with Kathi
Idea:
Membership, recruiting young members
How to combine and improve communications between groups
How to evolve post Covid
How to get better engagement from other societies
Should SPEEA be allowed to participate in PSEC, does it violate by-laws? Can we consider them as an observer like engineers without borders, can we utilize them as a communication conduit to PSEC/members SPEEA represents?

Treasurers Report
Banquet was a success but ran a deficit attributled to inflation.
Last year’s deficit caused by
1) 50% dues
2) Lack of Corporate banquet sponsors
We need to build on banquet success by starting award nominations one month earlier and soliciting more companies for sponsorship
