Agenda & Proceedings:
Finance

• Budget: MUSA has still not gotten back to us. Tabled.
  
• Swag: Embroidery is a fixed cost depending on the numbers of stitches. There are guidelines for colour, font and file of the logo. We can easily change the person who receives payment when the current person graduates. We have decided on the logo that has a little graduation cap on a note head. We want a black note with a white hat and red tassel. If it has to be one colour we will do white.
  

Professional Development

• Workshops: Kristen’s workshop was awesome. She is amazing. 12 people attended. The QMEA workshop also went well. There were 13 people in attendance. Doug would be willing to do the ukulele part again for MEdUSA. He has also been emailing with Alain Cazes and Jonathan Dagenais about the conducting masterclass next semester.
  

Reports

• EdUS: See report.
  
• QMEA: They are deciding on the new logo. There is a gala festival coming up. Apparently they put it on every year.
  

Communications

• ENEWS: Send Heather blurbs by Monday night.
  

General

• Drum Circle: Counselling Services gave us a few options for rooms. The council believes that the Ballroom of C4 is the best option. Mitchel will contact the appropriate person to see if this is possible.
  
• Co-curricular Record: We received an email from the Co-Curricular Records Program Administrator who says that we are recognized on the McGill Co-Curricular Record. Heather will email him and say we are interested but now is not a good time to meet as it is the end of the semester.
  
• Brandon Proposal: Naomi and Heather have written a proposal that will be sent to Lisa tonight.
  

Next Meeting: Either next Thursday or right before Festivus.

Adjournment: Gill motions to close the meeting at 18:42, Doug seconds
