**Social Media Updates**
  * We now have a presence on LinkedIn with the Evergreen Project LinkedIn page. The page now has 78 followers. I am still waiting for review of the  Evergreen ILS Product page that should fall under the project page. LinkedIn kicked it back to me once already and asked for additional information. 
  * In order to build the number of followers across our three social media platforms, I have issued a karaoke challenge to first reach a total of 1,000 followers and then to double our number of followers to 1,286. Since that challenge was issued, we  only picked up 71  followers for a total of  714 across our social media platforms, so I may have set the bar too high?
  * The Project Board approved funds to support using Publer to post to the three social media platforms. I am now working with Katie Greenleaf Martin to get the non-profit discount and add a credit card to the account. This platform will be essential for scheduling contractually-required posts for the conference, but also has some other cool functionality, some of which I haven't explored yet.
  * We now have a nonprofit pro account with Publer.

Meeting adjourned at 4:47pm
