  5. Ongoing efforts
    • Updating the Website – website update is coming along, but there is a lot to work with – Kiernan built a staging site to plan out the revamp – access to board minutes has been fixed when clicking on “Members Area” – still working on other issues that have been popping up – sorted images and media on the backend so that they are readily available if needed
    • Using Bill/Divvy virtual cards instead of reimbursement – still waiting on representative to do a demonstration before moving forward
    • Further non-profit trainings that need to be done? – none outside of what was in original onboarding, but there are a lot that can be taken for free for self-enrichment
    • Joseph Gidjunis discussion for HDC. – He would be doing a keynote and Dad Games – We need to decide if he is worth the price and we need to make sure that he isn’t just using it to advance himself – Chris feels that he would be worth the price and that he is looking to enrich himself and our Return of Investment could be large if he continues Growing Up Dad and continues to attend HDCs going forward – discussions will continue in Slack before a decision is finalized
