Mike send out email saying that:
- anyone can run (we’re not elitist)
- it’s a great way to learn what the board is all about
- platform should include: name, year, why chose BE, why want position
No speeches, instead have candidates stand and say name and position running for
Food = subway + cake
Email professors to hype up in 20.109, 310, 330, 380 (who?)
Ballots:
- alphabetical candidates
- rank candidates 1 & 2 (in case of ties)
- space at bottom for BE ideas/comments
For future board meetings, people that come regularly perhaps have:
- board members at large?
- committees?
- semester long positions?
- BE UG Curriculum positions (appoint one 10, 09, 08) [ahem Emilienne ahem]
3.  BE UG Curriculum Board
Linda Griffith wants 2-3 people so that at least 1 is at every meeting
1 soph, 1 junior, 1 senior – BE UG Board appoint, email out ask if people interested
Fill spots with preferably board members rather than exec

Emilienne ask Linda when first meeting is, and for schedule of meetings thereafter
 
4. Associate Advising Dinner
Leave to new BE Board
Marta email Cathy letter to juniors asking them to be Associate Advisors (+ details)

5. ASA Application
Sasha ROCKS because she got us ASA approved last year!
We have an account - Sasha get deetails of password, name, and website to sign on
 
6. Amy
What did she do?
- start BE UG board, call out for members
- put together website skeleton
- help with tshirts
Get her a shirt, sign a card, have BE dept pay for a gift certificate
Do this after elections are over
 
7. BE UG Wiki
No private page – we can deal with that.
Contact info questionable? – BE UG Exec is posted, so Assoc Advisors should be fine
Mike put platform page onto wiki
List of tutors on wiki – WAIT to discuss until after BE workshop on reg day

Seniors vote on awards for each other? – Sasha & Mike say yes
TA award + Professor award? [ahem Alice ahem]
Museum of Science (not MIT Museum) or Aquarium?
 
9. Course 20 Dorm Reps?
No – the major is too small, and if we have a list of ‘tutors’ on Wiki, then advice and help is only a click away
Sasha’s plug: SWE Course 20 Rep still needed… deadline flexible
10. Bulletin Board
Iny look into ASA bulletin board
Emilienne ask Cathy where bulletin board
