Meeting 2/20

This week, we started the meeting by going over the contract that all associates need to sign to stay in the club. We are going to be more strict on attendance this semester because it is detrimental to the whole club when people miss meeting. Then, Parker gave a presentation on more UMBRA curriculum, more specifically, ideation. This is the brainstorming process that we use every semester to identify problems and decide what we want to work on. We then participated in a How Might We exercise. In this exercise, we split into our families and first individually brainstormed different how might we's that we could potentially want to work on for this semester. Then, each family picked their top HMW and individually brainstormed potential solutions to that question. After all of the members of the family brainstormed solutions, they identified to longest shot, most meaningful, most rational, and simplest solutions. Each family then  shared these HMW's and top solutions. We compiled a list of the top two HMW's from each family and then took an org-wide vote on the top 3 options. We have identified the top three projects we would most like to work on. This week, the officers will research and contact organizations that we could potentially work for/partner with, depending on which project we move forward with. 

Family topic: How Might We improve UMBRA?
