New Business

1. Marketing Committee: responsible for helping to promote DCLSA events

Do we need this?
E-mails for volunteers works good
No, for now.

Have a Spring meeting? There is a fee to reserve the room
Combine with All Staff Meeting, just need a few minutes
Marianne to volunteer to give the announcement
Need volunteers
Barb Krieger will send out e-mail with open positions, 1 year commitment, ask for volunteers, then nominate people
Contact people who are nominated, ask if they want to serve
DLTG has helped make e-ballot in the past
Karen as VP will be involved
Pat Morris volunteered to help contact nominees in April

On the web, integrate with DCLSA

5. Spring Meeting:

Get on agenda of All-Staff, then we won't need a separate meeting
