Board Meeting Minutes 10.19.09

1. AASiA Reception Recap

Lower-than-expected turnout

Speeches started late

Only CASO sent non-board members there

KOW and SASA lacked representation

SASA quarterly event – takes precedence over anything else

Co-chairs sent out an email with a video, renewing emphasis on academic commitment

Block out social obligations

Co-chairs orchestrated week of focused academia to reconnect with South Asian roots

KOW – half of board couldn’t go, members had midterms to study for

2. AASiA co-chairs must meet with subgroup co-chairs

Thursday dinner as a possibility?

3. How to increase attendance at future events

Reception publicity: AASiA listserve email, subgroup-driven publicity

Next time: posters? Individual SU boxes?

Farhan and Lily went, but not much happened
