Meeting synopsis: Inaugural general body meeting

Date & Time: November 14th 2007 at 9:30 -10:30pm

Description:
What took place was essentially what was intended, namely:

(A) Personally get our message across to the members that attended the meeting (i.e. formally introduce the members of the e-board, explain the objectives and goals of the club, and introduce the constitution, underscoring particularly pertinent pieces)
(B) Hold a brief open forum for newly affiliated members to express any queries, concerns, and offer suggestions for improving the club.

Summary Thoughts: Despite the difficulties facing any new club yet to receive Student Activities’ recognition, SBPL was able to retain a room after all. Thanks to our generous compatriots at Business and Law, we were able to hold the two meetings simultaneously. The dynamic of give and take, share and hear, was unexpected and productive. A lot of unique ideas were aired. Overall, the meeting was a productive one, especially as inaugural first-runs go (when Disneyland first opened in 1955 almost nothing worked). The intimate space, as well as the conjunction with Business and Law, allowed for us to meet with students on similar career paths and prospective Pre-Law members alike.

P.S. - Thanks again to all those who came out to support the SBPL on it's "opening night."
