Community Building Events Team (previously known as Social Event Team) @Jeremy Friesen
Status Check: The group met on Wednesday, and has discussed several community building events; They will likely need some wayfinding volunteers to help with these events. The general idea is to focus on smaller groups of people for community events (e.g. tables). To ensure people find the tables, we'll need wayfinding. The group is assuming responsiblity for that.
current working document with all current thoughts.
Also plan for a "drop in" each day - think "the conference bar"
Mentoring Program @Nabeela Jaffer
Status check: The mentoring forms sent yesterday. The mentoring subcommittee will meet up in two weeks to review the submissions.
