[Unisfa] Committee Meeting minutes 05/04/17

[Nicholas Browning]

Yeah,

Amber's idea is much better than culling members. I really like that the Facebook group has everyone on it. Makes it feel more unisfa-y since any old members can come out of the woodwork and comment on issues or jokes with relevant information or nostalgia.

It also makes contacting people for reunions a lot easier. Which I know you won't have to deal with, but you should consider.

Facebook

  *   We have over 500 people in Facebook group  so we can no longer invite everyone to events
  *   This is hurting our events as we cannot invite everyone and not everyone is friends with the entire club membership
  *   Solutions - We can do a purge in which we maybe could remove non-active former members. Then if people ask we can put them back in and only people who are not bothered will be off the Facebook page
  *   by not active - we will check when joined and look for activity on page, going to events, comments, etc.
  *   40th anniversary is happening next year so we should make sure that former members can still be contacted. We do still have e-mail addresses so we could contact them that way.
  *   Katherine will try to invite freshers to events and make friends on Facebook but this is only a temporary solution.
  *   Maybe ask older members who would know which people are no longer members or life members and who aren’t active members anymore and would not be bothered about being removed from the Facebook group.
  *   We could make the page public however there are concerns such as that public events are an issue in who we want to invite as well as people who do not want some things that are posted to be made public.
  *   Annique will contact older members and discuss options.

Ugh Facebook. Anyway -

 Potentially - you could have a Unisfa Events group which is just for events, to solve this issue, and subscribe current members (As per your membership lists from o-day on) to this. This would also be less work than trying to sort through all 500+ people on the current community and determine if they are “active”. Then just post events created by UniSFA events in the main UniSFA group, and people who aren’t part of UniSFA Events would still be able to join but not be invited, but you can invite all your current members.

It’s kind of nice to have everyone who was in the club be in the Facebook for things like the 40th anniversary etc, and general chat purposes, IMO.

(This kind of issue has been around since time immemorial, leading to the creation of the unisfa and unisfa-announce mailing lists, btw)
