- Notetaker
RG volunteered for the recurring job. - Review the draft charter
The charter was reviewed and slightly updated in the light of events. The COVID-19 pandemic caused Samvera Steering to initiate the 2020 fundraising cycle ahead of the FT's first meeting: it was feared that the financial impact of the disease might have a negative impact on budgets later in the year. The revised Charter is posted here on the Samvera wiki. - Considerations re: current pandemic & economic forecasts
- Next steps
- Need letter to go out with 2020 fundraising invoices from Lyrasis. RG to make a first draft before end of week. ALL to contribute comments and suggestions w/b 4/13. Lyrasis need a completed text on 4/20.
- Consider talking to a professional fundraising consultant at a non-profit to get advice/ideas. CC will ask a contact.
