2025-01-10 Education and Membership Meeting Minutes

Meeting Minutes

Attendance

Membership Coordinator: @HipGnosis
Education Coordinator: @Englishpete08
Secretary: @Bozzii

Agenda :

  • Work on Primer
    • Who is WCU and what to we stand for?
    • Making sure everyone within the organization is on the same page

Ideas for Primer :

  • Getting everyone on the same page on terms and definition
    • Since there are only three steering members here and not the complete membership
    • Should this me a resource or a presentation/something we teach
      • Healthy to have internal debates, it’s good to ask questions and challenge information. Fine line between being helpful and condescending though
    • How do we go about opposing definitions/ideals without causing tension within the membership
      • Not disrespectful, no one’s uncomfortable, baseline respect
  • WCU structure and how it functions
    • making sure everyone within the org understands the structure of WCU, why it is that way, responsibilities of positions, etc.
  • Empathy, respect, and constructive criticism
    • 360 feedback - group of people, everyone breaks off into pairs and give criticism but also positive
    • Starting off the topic by criticizing a public figure or politician so we can learn
    • Topic itself could be how to have conversations
      • Could be a good place to start, everything ties back to this, specifically for defining terms and what WCU stands for

Additional Ideas :

  • WCU Communal Library

Please share your thoughts and any ideas you have for either the primer or future Ed and Membership events!
