  4. Announcements & Updates
    1. Announcements
    2. Elections results
      1. 5.3% voter turnout so no referendum pass
      2. Post covid voter turnout has been lower; turnout likely impacted by the strike and encampment
  5. SFAC Operation Budget - Discussion about setting aside some funding for swag
    1. Sheet
    2. Discussion about swag - what would be effective for outreach? Stickers are a good idea. Cups are a good idea with logo. Buttons, hand sanitizer.
      1. Ask about a modified version of campus stickers. Sticker Mule is a good resource.
      2. Jhertau motions to allocate $500 from SFAC operational budget on swag. Mel seconds the motion. Motion carries.
  6. By-Laws
    1. Discussion about office hours. This method is somewhat outdated. Other ideas:
      1. Use calendly as a mechanism for scheduling appointments
      2. Participate in 1-2 tabling events per quarter
      3. Plugging into college newsletters; we represent our colleges as a whole. Some colleges don’t have newsletters.
      4. Connecting through the programming offices for every campus would be an important tool.
      5. Lucy suggests that each week, DSAS office could send a message out to college governments, and programming offices within minutes from the meetings; monthly reports to all students.
        1. Attach to social media posts.
      6. We will continue this discussion at the next meeting. See notes/comments on the Bylaws documents.
      7. Marshall, Mel, and Lucy will draft some language and edits for the bylaws responsive to today’s conversation for review next year early in fall quarter.
  7. Adjournment
    1. Jhertau suggests a motion to adjourn. Andy seconds the motion. Motion passes.
