July 2010 Monthly Report

1. Student Legislative Council Meetings

SLC 68/5 June 29, 2010

 Outlined my meeting with VP Academic Alyssa Stacy to discuss goals as
well as our meeting with Dr. Waverman, Dean of business.
 Reported on my meeting with the Presidents’ Circle in which I outlined he
status of the clubs trailer renovation and we discussed where we will go
from here. Announced the support of various stakeholders for the
initiative.
 Voted to approve a motion on the Refugee Student Board Terms of
Reference.

SLC 68/6 July 13, 2010

 Detailed my meeting with the new clubs coordinator, Chelsea Fletcher, in
which we discussed the nature of CUS and the AMSO clubs.
 Spoke regarding a meeting I had with Alyssa Stacy and Ryan Lee,
Associate Dean Undergraduate, in which we discussed a number of topics
including clubs trailer renovations, enrollment numbers, and the status of
the tourism programs.
 Approved the waiver of Students’ Union fees for refugee students.

SLC 68/7 July 27/10

 Announced that I had met with fellow Haskayne representative Ashley
Bradley to discuss the status of the trailer renovations as well as a number
of other things that had transpired over the last month.
 Spoke to my inability to attend recent Operations & Finance committee
meetings due to volunteer commitments.
 Asked the VP Student Life, Jennifer Abbot, about the status of her
pending clubs week activities and speakers that have been approached.
 Discussed a CIF proposal for the faculty of education as put forward by
Patrick Tomcyzk. This proposal is to be voted on at the August 10th SLC.
 Discussed moving SLC to 6PM. I initially supported the idea, but as many
members of SLC would be unable to attend on time at 6PM, it would
cause too many issues to be worthwhile.
 We spoke to the usage of the SU Library Levy to fund some new projects
including a pair of language programs, a gaming program and a film
 program. All seem to have their merit and provide an opportunity for the
Students’ Union to increase our profile.

2. Faculty Work (and connecting with constituents)

 July 6th – Met with the Solar Decathlon business team. Offered my support
as a potential team member and also was asked about the availability of
SU funding, a discussion which I brought to James Delaney the following
day.
 July 8th – Met with Alyssa Stacy and Ryan Lee and discussed a number of
topics. Ryan had made some suggestions regarding the clubs trailer and
encouraged me to meet with Rita Egizii, Director, Community Outreach &
Alumni Relations at the Haskayne School of Business.
 July 21st – Met with Rita Egizii, Jane Brown and Taryn Hodson regarding
the trailer renovations. Discussed a number of sponsorship options, and
ruled out others.

3. Committee Work
 Operations & Finance –
o Attended meeting on July 6th. Was unable to attend meeting on July
22nd due to volunteer commitments. There were no meetings of this
committee on July 8th and July 13th.

4. Other
 July 12th – Attended the Premier’s Stampede breakfast alongside the VP
External, Hardave Birk.

5. Goals

My goal for August is:

 Continue progress on the Haskayne Clubs Trailer renovations, reaching
the milestones of structuring a proper sponsorship package and
beginning sponsorship outreach.

The steps to be taken to achieve this goal are:

 Continuous contact with both management of the Haskayne School of
Business and the executives of our student led clubs.
 Meeting regularly with Ashley Bradley to structure a concise Sponsorship
package with assistance from the “Haskayne Presidents’ Circle” and Rita
Egizii.
 Starting the process of approaching a number of potential sponsors for the
space as determined using the input of various stakeholders within the
faculty.

The Executive Lead for this goal is:

 James Delaney, VP Operations & Finance
