Committee Issues

 

á       Clay in Ed;

á        Briefly discussed if this position is still needed and what Clay Fest might want to do to for the broader community.

á       Publicity;

á        Discussed if it was needed to break the Publicity ChairÕs job into two since

á       it seems like a very big time commitment for one person.

 

 

Bulk Mailing;

Finding that spam filters are a problem getting our E postcard delivered.

 

              

   

                Sponsorship;

                Looking for a person to embrace this chair position with enthusiasm.
