ORDERS OF BUSINESS

Reports

Peter

  • Peter, Kirsty, and Nicol had conversations about a possible durex sponsorship for safe sex supplies and all durex seems to want is that people can a taste for their products

  • not a lot of commitment on our part 

  • give boxes of condom and maybe other some safe sex supplies

  • through a different organization 


Rocky Horror

  • the social is tomorrow (4/11), the screening will start at 8:30pm

  • there are drinking games or just regular games that go along with the film, however, when looking at what the games involved it does not seem appropriate 

  • the games that go along seem to involve a lot of throwing items that would create too much mess

  • drinking games as well at college bars are generally not allowed

  • can ask them to dress up, not going to do games

  • going to leave the tables and chairs, should be minimal set up

  • doubt turn up will be too high till the point that we will need to shift around everything

  • anyone is welcome to come and join


Unfilled Rep Positions 

  • there was a discussion last meeting of the lesbian rep and election of it

  • the mature students / post grad rep also hasn’t been filled and is the only one remaining that is not filled

  • we will advertise for these roles before the TGM to hopefully get people elected into it


DM from Theater 

  • we received a dm on saturday about someone who said that she is working for the student written play about a queer story and wondering whether the association will want to do an educational collab and advertise the play

  • Keir can reach out to Caity and campaigns about that to liaise

  • Ainsleigh for now can acknowledge the message and direct the sender to the campaigns officers socials (pending approval from campaigns) 


Emails about LGBT+ Career Opportunities 

  • we have been receiving a fair amount of emails regarding LGBT+ career opportunities targeted towards LGBT+ individuals

  • it might be worthwhile to have a database for the opportunities

  • Keir would not mind doing a brief spreadsheet 

  • Amanda to forward on emails to him

  • Ainsleigh can put on linktree and advertise


Osbournes Statement

  • unclear about position now as Mal is not able to attend, we will postpone the discussion


Other Business 

Social Secretary

  • we have not been able to get a message to Cara in awhile 

  • to drop a message to cara to make sure they are ok and to ask whether they are still interested in the role

  • Amanda to drop an email to her just in case it has been an issue with their facebook

  • by the next meeting, if we still haven’t heard anything we can let her know that we will be reopening the role
