Agenda

1. Changes to agenda
   
   
2. Working Group membership
   1. Did we come up with any other people it would be useful to approach to join or advise the WG?
      
      
3. 2019 Partner and Supporter Fundraising call
   1. Review sample documents in Google Drive
   2. Can we, effectively, repeat the thrust of the Spring letter? 
   3. If so, what are the Samvera Community achievements, and needs, that we should highlight?
   4. Would we want to add anything about a wider fundraising call later in the year?  And/or: How might we encourage these folks to contribute more.  FYI: this call goes to all the Partners (not just those who actually contribute funds) and to a couple of non-Partners who regularly contribute.
      
      
4. Sponsorship for Samvera Connect
   1. Review examples of other sponsorship schemes
   2. Should Connect seek sponsors?
   3. If so, brainstorm initial list of organizations that we might target

   1. Brainstorm an initial list of people we think we might approach
   2. How would we "sell it to them".  (What would they get for their money beyond "feeling good"?)
