Topics of Discussion:

With regard to offering a PSEA scholarship, all officers agreed to suggest to the new officers for the next term, to set aside free memberships to three deserving underclassmen, and one scholarship for a graduating senior, with applicants considered primarily on an essay.

For senior letters of recommendation and certificates of participation, Want will e-mail the updated attendance to Lauren, and Lauren will e-mail Jill so that she can write the letters of recommendation. The criteria has been solidified to three meetings for a certificate, with an additional community service activity for the letter of recommendation.

Sherman offered to bring packets from the CCO to the next all-member meeting, so members will have the benefit of that career preparation information.

For officer elections in December, Lauren will provide nomination forms that will be due Nov. 17 at 5:00 p.m. in Jill’s office—Katie will publicize this via the listserv. Then Jill, Lauren, and Jackie will meet afterward to provide slated election sheets for the December meeting. All of the “shadowers,” as well as Katie, (who is running for publicity), and Alison, (who is running for president), will be on those sheets. All officers also agreed that the office of Outreach will be split with Publicity, whose job description will also include the making of the PSEA newsletter.

A notebook including all Fall Conference information, as well as for Read Across America Day, will be prepared for next year’s officers.

Dean Hynd will be the guest speaker for the Nov. 12 all-member meeting.
