Three takeaways
- A new board was elected on 10 June. Tomehka Ettinoffe as President, Margaret Megan as Vice-President, Mirieth Valenciano as Secretary, Sarah Reza as Treasurer.
- ¡Sí Se Puede! grossed $11,097.72 and netted $9,354.22 against a $15,000 goal. The silent auction alone was 40% of gross — the argument for giving it its own online window rather than running it inside one busy afternoon.
- “Fix the QR code and online payment flows for next year.” Recorded almost verbatim. Friction in paying was costing more than any individual campaign.
What needed a volunteer
- A Communications chair — Ian Fay took it on as acting chair
- Volunteers to wear the Wildcat mascot costume
- A photographer for events, social and a possible yearbook
- Separating the silent auction from the festival day
What came next
This website, and the decision to make paying a single tap rather than a form. The silent auction moving online is also a direct result.
