I will say more soon about the recs you and Danielle have made about FA (mostly I think they're fantastic), Cristy, but meanwhile, I totally think that we need to meet, yes.  Next Monday?  6:30/9:30?

hey you guys,


I think we ned to have ameeting, don't you?


 


So, I have done some math.  A rough and early estimate of the cost of the conference, per person is $200.  I can explain how I got this if you want, but basically, it't the per person cost of the hotel, plus administrative costs, entertainment costs and the like, divided per person with an expectation that 100 people will register.  So, I propose that the fee scale start at $200, middle is at $250 and high is $300.  I really feel strongly that the lowest end of the scale is cost, and we tell people that.  



 


As for the FA, Danielle is interested in doing it, and sitting on this committee.  She is very good with money, and I think an asset.  We talked about it, and we both think that the best plan is to have a transparent income guideline (if you make <10,000, you get this much, etc), based roughly on the federal poverty guidelines-which would mean that around $25,000 and up gets no FA.  We also discussed perhaps asking for work study from FA recipients-stuffing packets, carrying food trays, whatever.  We don't necessarily have to require it, but we could ask if they would like to.  I am working on the application, and I will include something like that.  As for people who are students, I am conflicted.  There is a difference from being a poor student to living in poverty, ya know? We need to talk about this.  I might just say that on the app.  



 


Also, in the past we talked about earmarking FA for underrepresented populations in order to help with diversifying, so having 2 scholarships (complete conf. reg) for supersized folks, 2 for folks with mobility disabilities, 2 for POC, 2 for folks over 40, etc.  What do you think of resurrecting this idea, and how would you like to see it structured?



 


Ok, I think that's good for now.  Let me know about meeting times and whatnot.


xxx,


cristy
