Mutual fund investment – Lewis still
needs to figure out bookkeeping, talk to other chapter treasurers, about how
to report possible chapter losses. Ÿ
For stipends and professional
development – we need to put a max amount on how much people can get. Ÿ
We need to make sure members know we
have money available for professional development. Internships: Ÿ
Nancy N.: Can we just handpick
members for fall print internships because we have no applicants? NEXT MEETING AGENDA: Ÿ
Investment tutorial with Tom –
teaching members how to manage money and investing. (Introduction to business
and saving money) Ÿ
Next general meeting we can bring
Kara McGuire to talk about personal funding. Ÿ
Print internship applicants –
handpick members for the newsrooms instead of go through application process.
We pick students and ask them if they are willing to do it. |
