Approval of Minutes:
Minutes for the May meeting of the GSR-Service Structure Committee were amended as follows: 1) Arden was the Liaison, not the chair, to the finance committee.
2) In the GSB report Matt stated that some Fellows giving out information on workshops by individuals on phone or face to face meetings have been asked to stop. I added that Andrew, who was promoting workshops, was not asked to stop promoting them by anyone. Approval of the minutes as amended passes unanimously
World Service Prep Committee (PAM): Met with a GSB person and got clarity as to what they have to do. They have 2 co chairs, secretary and a communications director they are defining the role of each position. . Compiling a list of GSR’s. Volunteers needed, contact uawscprep@nullgmail.com. So far they don’t have a date or a place. Deadline to have a World Service Conference is fall 2018.
