VP- elections done. Congrats to winners. VP’s have been talking about projects that they want to do this year. Generated some ideas: email them to talk about in future. Current ideas: Organize party with faculty and students in TG; cooking festival with faculty and students, e.g. BBQ on regular basis; Social, get together before or after ASHMC meetings, would be weekly or bi monthly to get people more involved with what’s happening; going to the Hoch/have a table in the Hoch and explain to the students what has been happening in the meetings; make videos to play on the Hoch TV; alumni mentoring program for freshmen. Any other input is welcome.
Treasurer- Changing the signers on accounts. The school has to sign an official form. Whoever wants to be on the new accounts, have to go to Bank of America and present ID etc. Forward any questions to Strieter.

Maureen- Constitution and Bylaws
-Written over 30 years ago. Things are outdated. Need to go to election, but students don’t know enough about it. Want to find ways to make minor improvement to constitution without having to go to student vote. Possibly have a 2 day retreat; there, we would work on constitution. Will hear more about it in the future

Scott Butters - ToolSHMC "awesome things" competition & budget request
Maureen- Good amount of money. But wouldn’t want to give more money if more teams signed up.
Margaret- Would we ask that he give each team less money?
Julian- Not all teams will spend that much.
Nick- We decide the max amount of money. Then he’ll have to divide it up for a budget.
Bryan- Can we approve amount and then approve amount to add to if they need it later?
Julian- Can’t give more money
Nick- What’s toolshmc’s budget? Because they could dip into their own budget. And then he can come back to us later. Then we don’t have to allocate it right now.
Shawn- is prize money too much?
Alyssa- fair amount based on the scale of the project.
Julian- goes back into building projects. Goes back to community.
Strieter- $960 dollars last year for Toolshmc.

Alyssa- it says semi annual. So once a semester.
Shawn-how much did they reimburse last year?
Nick- he said 75.
