| * ~Point the bylaws, mention RRoO stuff Erin was working on~ | ||
| * ~Write a brief more practical roles and responsibilities document for the position. Some experience with 1099-MISC would be nice since we now have an independent contractor. In OpenCollective you can also provide notes and updates, which may be nice for a Treasurer to do.~ | ||

||
| ### Meetings Notes | ||
|
|
||
| * Melissa Albert ([Nucamp](https://www.nucamp.co/)) | ||
| * Working with a coding bootcamp (Nucamp) based in Seattle. | ||
| * Adam and Melissa pitched the [Vadon Foundation](https://vadonfoundation.org/) to get them to invest in getting more students into coding bootcamps, and tech. Looks like they may not be funding anything at this time, Adam may circle back later. | ||
| * Putting together funding for scholarships for Native students for Nucamp (which will map closely with the [Warrior Rising](https://www.nucamp.co/scholarships/warriorrising) program they currently offer) :) | ||
| * Apprenticeship program in Washington, but student/professional has to be in Washington. If we have people physically located there we can pass their info along to apply to the program. | ||
| * Next steps are to follow up with the Wilkes Foundation (sp?) who is funding the American Indian College Fund. | ||
| * Danielle Boyer ([The STEAM Connection](https://www.steamconnection.org/)) | ||
| * Presentation looking for volunteers to participate as speakers in a virtual 12 week summer program. | ||
| * Next steps, we will make an announcement to see who is interested. We can also do a social media campaign to generate more external interest. | ||
| * Elizabeth Vu ([Sloan Foundation](https://sloan.org/)) | ||
| * NYC based foundation that’s been around since the 30s. | ||
| * Main mission is to fund basic research in STEM. | ||
| * The Technology program has more recently been focusing on Open Source. | ||
| * The DEI in STEM Higher Ed Program is focused on helping get underrepresented groups into higher education. | ||
| * Do we know grads and faculty working in OSS as part of their academic work? Or part of work-work? Looking to convene a roundtable to learn where investments might be most impactful. | ||
| * Next steps, receive a flyer with information from Liz, then we can pass that around in our community to get people interested. | ||
| * Brittany Jackson and Nathan ([Plotly](https://plotly.com/)) | ||
| * Open source data viz company, based in Montreal. | ||
| * Rethinking what community partnerships look like. | ||
| * They have a lot of resources for speakers for data science, etc. | ||
| * Next steps, Brittany will propose a workshop in partnership with us that focuses on equity. She’ll join us for the next meeting and see what we can do. | ||
