Agenda/Minutes
Conference problem with lunches

• Lunch is going to cost us $13 a head which comes out to an extra $2700
• Options
  • Cut conference in half (i.e. only have a morning session)
  • Take people from the Science Centre to somewhere else
    • Networking sesh/get to know each other on the bus, dynamic seating arrangement at lunch

Application we want to create for NP’s to attend the conference

• One application for the conference and an addendum for a travel scholarship
• Conference application includes
  • Basic contact info
  • Paragraph about the NGO
  • Paragraph about the region they operate in
  • Paragraph about their keystone water projects
  • How many people they want to send/ interested in attending
• Travel scholarship application includes
  • Location
  • A paragraph about why they need a travel scholarship (or some way to demonstrate need)
  • What sort of travel conditions/ accommodations they are willing to accept

Travel scholarships

• Our budget says we have $2500 for these, but then again our budget needs an audit

Restructuring the water book

• Jessie’s idea (more of a directory for conference attendees)
  • Part one: name of NGO, paragraph description
  • Also include text from speeches, or essays from speakers
  • Text and synthesizes of workshops
• If we have time: massive case study book
  • Initial content will be compiled before conference
  • Interviews of the NGOs involved at the conference
  • Editing and publication in the two months after the conference
• Conclusion: go forth with first idea and, although we like the second idea, we need to discuss it with WDA

Action items

• Letterhead for formal invites (Jessie)
• Conference NGO application (Tim)
• Travel application addendum (Jessie)
