UNFINISHED BUSINESS

1. Meeting ArkGeo Goals
Fundraising: Goal of $500 by 3/31/2020
4 CITOs by 04/21/2020
Non-executive board members will each hold a Meet & Greet during the fiscal year.
Generate interest in the ArkGeo website and committees.

2. Committee Involvement
Ideas on how to get more involvement from members of ArkGeo were discussed. A thread has been started in the forum on ideas for challenges/contests within the website, with some response. Thank you to those who responded.

3. ArkGeo Now -vs- ArkGeo Future
The website needs updated and the layout needs rearranged as to show our mission and vision statement. ArkGeo has been instrumental to Geocaching and that needs to be highlighted. We need to direct people from the social media page to the website by pinning our link to the top of the social media page. A few other ideas on how to keep us relevant going forward were putting brochures in state park visitor centers among other places and setting up an informational booth when the opportunity is presented.
