ACM Logo Problems
We have been getting emails about not using the national ACM logo and instead using the chapter logo. We will look further into this
SIG Discussion
We will begin reaching out to people to plan for SIG’s next semester. SIG sign up forms will be available in the ACM room
SIG-Com. Sci. Ideas
Currently, weekly meetings are not engaging and not as successful
SIG-Com. Sci would replace weekly meetings, and would be a SIG for members to teach a different topic related to Com. Sci. weekly based on what interests them, with members rotating through teaching and learning. This SIG could also make times for these meetings more flexible, and would have a leader (Vice-Chair) to organize who gets to teach on which weeks
This allows the current weekly meeting system to be better organized and hopefully help attendance for these meetings
Name for SIG is still up for debate

Idea for awards for members contributing to club and being more involved, with an award ceremony happening every semester
