Year End Party

-was well done this year, but not up to expectations

-there were a lot of people still in the restaurant by the time the Year End Party was starting, who were also trying to take the food

-food was bought out really late (7 pm as opposed to 6 pm)

-no free beverages were provided (we paid for juice)

-this will be discussed with Club Ilia management and will be reflective of our

decision to hold the event @ Club Ilia next year

-can ask Brent to discuss with them

-we also had people standing at the beginning of the party waiting for tables since other patrons hadn’t left yet; needed Club Ilia to tell other patrons that restaurant was closed for the year end party

-approx. 50-60 people attended

-Loryn will write up a brief summary about the Year End Party for the BPK Newsletter; Leandra is also writing one up for KIN Games

-pictures from all past events are up on the BPK webpage

 

BPKSA in the Summer

meeting times for summer needs to be decided; Loryn will send out a doodle poll for this after exams are over

-Steven M & Josh will not be here in the summer; Sam will not be here in Juny & July

-since they all hold executive positions, these need to be filled (will decide on

this in the summer)

-we will also start planning the BPK Kickoff for Fall 2015 in May

 

Recruitment + Summer Executive Positions

-undergraduate recruitment into the BPKSA needs to be increased as many of the current executives may be graduating soon

-Cheri, Darleen & Laurie could send out emails at the beginning of each

semester to the undergraduates in an attempt to increase recruitment

-also need to add emails from the sign up sheet to the emailing list

-in addition, if new students are beginning to attend the meetings, we need

to make sure they play some kind of active role in the BPKSA; this way they

will maintain their attendance to the meetings

-Positions that are going to be available include: UPC Representative for KIN and BIF, Vice President, President, Treasurer

-Erina & Jordan will attend the UPC meeting on April 23rd with Steven M to

see how the meetings go; Ashly will attend the next one

-potentially could become the new UPC Reps for KIN or BIF; will

decide if they want the position following their attendance of the

meeting

-Erina will also potentially fill in as Treasurer of the BPKSA in the summer

during Josh’s absence

-will also need a new Vice President who is interested in taking on the role of

president eventually

-in addition, Sabrina is printing out more of the recruitment business cards

 

Adjournment:

The meeting of the BPKSA was adjourned by Loryn at 1:30 pm in the BPK Conference Room. This was the last meeting of the Spring 2015 semester. Summer meeting times are to be decided.
