| + | * tbielawa - A recent member suspension could have been handled with more grace and finesse |
| + | ** Paul says Jennie will talk to Scott about how to handle this better in the future. |
| + | ** Member should never have been suspended in the first place. Paul made a mistake. |
| + | ** Going forward we are going to try to do better due diligence into the veracity of a claim before acting. |
| + | ** We need to get all of the new board members on freshdesk, Sky has been asked for guidance. |
| + | |

| + | * Diversity and Inclusion |

| + | ** Donzell said last year that the position should be on the board to have teeth. |
| + | ** Joe volun-told Donzell into making D&I his board priority for the year |
| + | *** Donzell and Paul were both on board. |
| + | *** Jesse had been the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion officer at her work place. |
| + | *** She expressed concerns that having a minority at the helm of the effort makes it harder for the effort to succeed |
| + | *** Nathan thinks that we need there to be a full committee to avoid this problem |
| + | *** Lil street "makerspace" is predominantly run by women in Ravenswood. |
| + | **** Protohaven in Pittsburgh as well. |
| + | *** We should look into other ways to deal with diversity issues and schedule a board meeting around it. |
