Open Issues:
- Approval of Previous Minutes
- Jaskarn motioned to approve the meeting minutes of 2018-01-23. Emily P seconded. Minutes approved unanimously
- Careers Night Debrief
- 55 people attended including BPKSA members, half as many as last year. Attendance may have been lower because the BNSS had their networking night on the same day
- Crystal will ask if she can receive the BNSS’s meeting minutes so conflicts like this don’t happen again in the future
- We will need larger classrooms for speaker sessions if more people attend the event
- One exhibitor was unhappy about only getting half a table. They thought it confused the students
- Offer a gluten free options for dinner – we ask the attendees about their dietary restrictions, but we didn’t ask the speakers or exhibitors and one person ended up not being able to have dinner
- The programs needed to be more detailed. Room numbers for breakout sessions on the program would reduce a lot of confusion next year
- Students were not asking as many questions during the breakout sessions. We should try to prepare a few more questions beforehand to keep the discussion going
- Spring Clothing Sale
- We have previously gone through Brent but his clothing prices have increased from approximately $12 to $16 per shirt for 72
- We will order t-shirts from Blank Clothing
- BCAK and SFSS have offered to be sponsors if we print their logo on the shirt
- BCAK is willing to subsidize a larger portion of the cost than the SFSS
- We will check with BCAK if they would be okay with us having both logos on the shirt. One logo would be on each sleeve
- Preorder mountain design hoodies and heart shirts in multiple colours
- Mens t shirts have better options for colours and we can get a larger discount by ordering more shirts in one style
- Heart shirt colours: cardinal, midnight, dark heather
- We will email the company and ask if it would cost more to print the heart design in black on dark heather
- We will collect pre-orders on Wednesday February 7th (10-12:30) and Thursday February 8th (10-2) at Table O so we can also advertise the Rock Climbing Social
