Discussion and notes

Visioneers Meeting 10/20/15

Participants: Annie B., Annie K., Denise H., Bruce C., and Jamie R.

Annie Keyes discussed Summer Meeting locations

• Narrowed down to Durham, NH, Chapel Hill, NC, Asheville, NC, and Gainsville, FL
• Gainsville does not have wifi capacity
• Should hear from Asheville, NC this week
• Call participants ranked Durham and Asheville as top choices
• Did not like the distance of the Chapel Hill location to an urban center

Annie Keyes discussed SWAG

• SWAG: (bags, moleskine notebooks, pens)

Winter Meeting Theme Discussion

• Frontiers in Earth Sciences Big Data
• No sub-theme for winter
• Like the idea of "Earth Sciences: The Original Big Data" on stickers

Push for more sessions at Winter Meeting

• Suggest that Annie B. ping group leaders to discuss session in their monthly telecons
• Consensus that everyone always submits last minute

Sponsorship Document

• Suggestion that there should be a higher-level than 20K
• Are we really limiting to "two only?"
