Halfway through the week we found out we don’t have access to the paypal. We have to reset the financial side of the club.
Planning to email the NMRT liaison, other student organizations, to see how they have their financials set up.
Katrina, unable to contact the people we needed to get this going. She’s working closely with Debbie to figure out the financial end of GLISA.
Membership dues- many chapters do not charge a fee. Others only use the ALA membership fee as means to get in the organization.
All agree that membership will increase if we drop the membership dues.
Scholarships are the only reason we can see for keeping the dues.
Fundraisers could be an option instead.
Another school did a pay $10 to enter to win something.
Krystal- possibly do voluntary donations to support scholarship opportunities.
Change Google Form for Membership ASAP (Aleya)
Advertise that we’ve dropped the dues, that GLISA is free to join. Say if anyone has paid dues before this date, you’ve helped us offer a scholarship for the spring semester. Katrina is going to create a flyer
GLISA does have a Wells Fargo account that we have no information on.
Last year’s officers created swag and materials but nobody is there to get it.
Dr. Masten said maybe we should create a separate account with Wells Fargo
Possible to set up an online bank account. Aleya suggested Ally bank.

Dr. Masten talked with Dr. Jeng about getting her as a Webinar for TLA.
Student to staff program:
Dec. 5th at 5 p.m. is deadline for applications. At that time Katrina will forward all of the submissions to Dr. Masten. She’ll go through them and nominate someone.
As applications come in, officers can review them and email Dr. Masten to suggest ones we think are strong candidates.
Dr. Jeng wants to meet with all of the officers to share her expectations for the group. If not next week, she’ll meet with Dr. Masten and Dr. Jeng. It may be on a Friday if she can’t meet with us on our Sunday meetings.
Officers can stay on for another year if we want. For those that can’t stay on, March is when the advertisement for new officer elections go out.
Aleya, unable to renew position. Offers to get things going for whomever it is passed off to next.
