Reboot in full swing. We may be able to integrate it directly with WildApricot which would be awesome. <br />
<br />
We want to open up the mentorship list to everyone so they can self post and self service until the reboot is done. <br />

We are thinking about removing the requirement for mentees to be members temporarily - thoghts?<br />

<!-- This section is for business brought up during the meeting and not on the agenda when the meeting started. If there are no such items, the entire section can be deleted. --><br />
=== Tech Jobs Academy Discounts ===<br />
<br />
I propose that we extend the tech jobs academy students a free membership - they are all very interested in the program and trying to start a new career in the IT field. <br />
<br />
Additionally, I propose that we extend the staff a 10-20% discount to try and entice them into LOPSA, and hopefully help us out and contribute to the mentorship program.<br />
<br />
Atom: we should give teachers 50% off<br />
<br />
George: we should use discount code, even though they are students and get free membership, to track how many sign up through this specifically.<br />
<br />
Motion: George<br />
<br />
all in favor<br />
<br />
=== LISA16 Expo registration ===<br />
We still need to officially sign up for our LISA16 Expo table.<br />
