Mtg with Directors planned
 * At least a quarterly during the Steering Comm call.
 * We will have them first on the agenda so that they can leave and the student reps can talk freely during these meetings afterwards

Class captain role definition (proposed project)
 * The charter defines their roles
 * But, should they be changed?
 * Engagement has been low
 * If we asked them to reach out twice a year, they can then stay engaged and message back to us
 * Accountability and participation is very clear
 * Survery data capture could be a use for this effort
 * Neysa to capture these notes and message out to the Steering Comm for feedback
 * It could be an agenda item for Aug 4th (tbd)

John Miniati has had to drop off the MMM Alumni Committee and Steering Committee. He's working on a project with Mohan Sawney, and is just too overloaded with projects to continue to assist. Joe has asked him to find a replacement from his class or earlier. He will reach out again. We are proposing to recognize his work during the next all-hands meeting.

Joe shared a preliminary MMM geo map using old MMM address data for the Bay Area: http://www.batchgeo.com/map/1bee8b0e379e685c6d9071f5cad2b717

This was also shared with Janet Sanders in Kellogg's ARO. They are very interested in doing something like this for all of Kellogg. The local clubs would benefit from this tool.
