= Minutes =
== Discussion on Previous Minutes ==
* All action items handled
== Approval of Agenda Agenda ==
* All action items handled

== Orientation ==
* Steve is all orientation is, but he isn’t great at capturing attention.  He used to have a partner, but the partner left and since it’s been all him.  We need to update it:
** Learn more than a tuesday meeting
** History
** Culture
** Work on a shop project
** Have 2 mmt members, 2 board members, 2 area hosts as a panel and make it more interactive

== New member experience ==
* Making the entrance more welcoming flows into this but our first big goal is setting up orientation.  Steve can’t make tuesdays so it makes it a bit tough.  See above

== Tour Update ==
* Outline is written, Patience is willing to send it out if anyone is interested

== Mapping the space ==
* Patience has gone to office hours but hasn’t been able to show up every time.  Just needs someone to talk with for every area. Slow going, but it’s going.

== Entrance more welcoming ==
* During the panel at the summit, someone mentioned that there was nobody there to help when they first came in.  How  can we make it more inviting/intuitive?
* Joe: Red button that is a welcome button that introduces the space and then tells the space via PA that there is someone new here.  Fun way to do this.
* Patience will brainstorm this, as we all agree this is a problem.

== Member Meeting FreshDesk Utilization ==
* Andrew had said it would be good if groups had keywords (eg Finance would be forwarded anything related to bills)

== Task Board ==
* With daniel out we discussed that we saw it

== Scholarships ==
* Alisha shared with Max a scholarship proposal 
** If anyone wants to see: https://docs.google.com/document/d/15zSDdnDg0B2qZZ4Z8hg3YdZrKifCcNMTRIjb3jLHZ2A/edit?usp=sharing
** Max is going to take a look at vote language and mmt can propose a vote for it.
