MITNA Exec

This page contains various notes for the MITNA Executive Committee.

Tasks that MITNA has to do throughout the year

• Reserve Lobby 10 for a sailboat the week after Spring Break. The Campus Activities Complex only accepts reservations the week after Thanksgiving, and we've had some trouble convincing them to do this in the past. In order to do this: Go to the CAC office, fifth floor of the Stratton Student Center. At the reception ask "to reserve an area of Lobby 10 for the week after spring break in order to place a fully-rigged Tech dinghy for the purpose of promoting the activities of the MIT Sailing Pavilion". You will probably need to use the following facts: MIT Sailing has been using that space for more than 20 years (quite longer, I think). MIT Nautical Association is currently not a ASA student organization - however, it is one of the biggest MIT groups in terms of numbers of members and activity. We do *not* need a 'booth space' in Lobby 10 - we need a roughly 15'x7' space behind the booths (towards the glass doors that look onto Killian Court) to put the boat. Finally, you might also need to use the fact that we have never been denied this space in the past.
• Call an annual meeting for the second or third week after classes start in the fall. Nominate someone for the MITNA service award.

Things that MITNA should perhaps look into doing:

• Change the prescribed time for annual meetings in the constitution.
• Clarify the relationship between sailing cards and MITNA membership.

Things that plam will do before leaving:

• re-set up the gallery and populate it. Put a random picture link on the main page, served from the gallery.
