10 September 2000

At General Meeting, we'll set up these new committees:
* MIT SWE Scholarship (for MIT SWE members)
  Job:  By Christmas break, establish a scholarship contest and collect
        applications.  
        Set up a committee of professors to judge the contest.
        Allocate SWE funds for scholarships.
        Distribute scholarships to be used toward the 2001 Spring term tuition
  STILL NEED AN MIT SWE EXEC OFFICER TO MENTOR THIS COMMITTEE.  E-mail Eli if
  you want to do this.

* High School Outreach
  Job:  By Spring Break 2001, compile and distribute a list of camps,
        internships, etc. offered around New England or the USA or the world to
        high school students via mail or the web.
  Exec Mentor:  Yee Lam

* Bible Library
  Job:  Figure out how to make bibles available and known to MIT SWE
  Exec Mentor:  Anne Dreyer

* Alumnae Database
  Job:  Establish a database of alumnae contacts for SWE and SWE member's use
  Leader:  Brigitte Castaing
  (FYI:  alumna = female graduate.  alumnae = plural female graduates
         alumnus = male graduate.   alumni = plural male graduates
                              also  alumni = plural gender-neutral grads)

***********************
* At general meeting we'll have signup sheets

* Exec Mentors and Leaders:
Exec mentors help get the committee started and help the committee select a
Leader from among themselves.  This Leader will join Exec.  A committee might
do well with two leaders.  Only one would be required to attend each exec mtg.
Once the Leaders feel comfy, the Exec mentors can let them go on their own.

* The first committee meeting:
The first meeting is really just about retaining people's interest in their    
new committee until things with CF settle down enough so they can get working  
on it.  It could probably be a 15 minute get-together to share names.

Career Fair and Career Week require a great deal of SWE support, and we want 
a lot of help from our members, esp. new ones.  We don't want them to have to
choose between CF help and joining a committee, so let's keep committee 
activity to a minimum these first weeks.
