Personnel Changes
Next year, Daniel will be going on leave. Thus, we have two new faculty members on the committee for next year: Jason Decker and Joel Weisberg. We will tell this to Jane Hubbard, so that she can give them access to our collab folder. We also hope to have our charter amended to allow more student members.
The Proxy Voting Policy
In October, we may meet briefly with the trustees to report on what has happened so far under the new proxy voting policy, which allows us to vote on proxies throughout the year. Duncan will look out for new resolutions over the summer.
REC conference
Duncan and Forrest got a grant to pay for the cost of attendance at the Responsible Endowments Committee’s organizing workshop in Racine, WI. However, they must keep track of their traveling expenses so that they can be reimbursed for that as well.
Plans for Next Year
In addition to our plan to possibly expand student membership, we also would like to revamp our website, launch a survey and/or do a public event such as a townhall. All of these things could be used to connect with possibly interested students.
