@Wingchee W nothing much new. Uni got 3 tax refunds on our purchases this week.
Will update AEAC Competition Budget if any new purchases or prospective purchases come up
@Wingchee W Which sponsorship proposals need to be completed this term?
WEEF: Waiting for Wishlist items to be added to the confluence. Got all teams except Ops (If we do want anything). I can start making Powerpoint. Deadline March 4!
EngSoc : no finalized dates and instructions yet. But they''ll start accepting sponsorship proposals sometime in mid Feb . And can see the spreadsheet of what other teams got funding for for inspo.
MEF : proposal submission (Feb 5 to Mar 1), proposal presentation (week of March 4). Dates added to gcal .
Let’s try not to send them an email asking if it’s due at 12am or 11:59pm cuz it can give them a bad impression.
WEEF deadlines:
March 3rd for WEEF Proposal Submission
@Wingchee W Made a spreadsheet with sub-team wish list items for the term
sub-team leads adding items onto the confluence: Due by Friday, February 2nd
Old sponsorship stuff that contained good contact infos - initially put it in the financial ledger (for convenience) when we switched from google drive to one drive. Then, I moved this info over to the new spreadsheet that contains the list of current sponsors in the 2023-2024 comp cycle. I also reflected this change by taking out the word “sponsor” from the financial ledger spreadsheet title and updated the internal purchase protocol with the title change.
I’ve put together a list of current sponsors in the 2023-2024 comp cycle.
Might be a good idea to discuss if Ops wants anything this semester. WEEF likes non-perishable things. I recall that WEEF doesn’t give $ for software licenses like Photoshop
@Wingchee W Sending update emails to existing sponsors - planned
@Prentice Hui will be leading some sponsorship updates once the package is completed
Request from mechanical to find a carbon fibre sponsor
Draft an email for this
Start doing research on potential companies
@Alison Thompson to provide details
@Jerry Tian Keysight replied to my Electronic Load sponsorship email, they are struggling financially for Q1 so no sponsorship for now. I replied the email saying thanks for the update. Will ask again in Mid March (before Q2)
