The PI Fact File for Public Information is not on the ca.org website. We should not send out proposed response for the Statistic Inquiry until it is uploaded. This will be added to the CAWSO Board Meeting Agenda.
The way the World Service Contribution Program web page is set-up, it is very
hard to navigate. Kevin will take this issue to the World Service Office Webmaster to work on the making the web page more user-friendly to give a contribution, and to set-up a recurring monthly contribution.
2019 CAWS in Sweden Update – Sarah
The October 11th Convention Committee Meeting was cancelled in Sweden.
I spoke with Johan regarding the Convention timeline. They did not have some of needed service positions filled yet. Johan stated that, “they will have a recruitment drive for the WS Convention service positions. I visited and met with the hotel liaison. The hotel liaison has a very skilled background in working with hotels. The hotel will definitely accommodate the World Service Convention. The hotel is very modern. The ballroom will accommodate 1,800 people. There are plenty of workshop rooms. They have a great relationship with the hotel. We have 1,050 room nights booked. 50 people have registered. There
were 40 people at the recruitment drive. It was well attended. I met with Richard because the financial positions were not filled. We will have over 600 attendees. I will do a written convention report and add it to the Yahoo Group.
We need paper registrations in the U.S. The WSO can work on this.
MOTION:
Motion made to create a Correspondence Log to track the WSBT emails and responses. Seconded. Motion tabled until our next Quarterly Meeting. Seconded. Motion passed by a majority vote.
Wade volunteered to work on a draft to create a Correspondence Log with Vanessa.
