- Nils is sending out that email to Diana to have her ask her students to come to SCS2
- Manuel is wondering about what we can actually offer to these students to get them more interested
- Strategies for recruiting new SCLeaders @ SCS-2
- One thing we should have is a meeting point to go to lunch together, we need to have a meeting point
- We need ot have a place where we can post the SC events so people know where to go, maybe a blow up of the flier?
- Also, a place to have lunch (on grounds, off grounds, Nils will ask Steven best place)
- Would be good to have a few meeting places at the hotels to meet for social events in the evenings.
- Maybe we have a Student Council open meeting ot discuss these matters. Maybe have this on Thursday evening
- Social Event on Sunday should be a great place for this.
- WE can recruit ISCB help when Vic presents for BoDs on day of SCS2 (Manuel will send formal invitation)
- Activities during ISMB: lunch times, internal SC meetings, SC booth?
- Vic has volunteered to contact Steven Leard to find rooms availible for lunchtime meetings or other SC general meeting space
Local / Student Groups
- We'll include some information in the Q2 newsletter. After the final approval from ISCB BoDs, we'll start marketing aggressively and contact the groups who are already in touch with us.
