== Standing Reports ==<br />
<br />
=== Treasurer's report (Brian, Kacoroski) ===<br />
<br />
Balance Info:<br />
*BoA Accounts: $63,170.21<br />
*PayPal Account: $116.46<br />
*Total: $63,286.67 +/- from last report (02/21/2017): +$5,881.49<br />
<br />
Significant Payments:<br />
*1. Peter Sayeh (CPA) retainer of $1400 paid this week 3/5/17 (not debited yet). Starting to work on renewal of non-profit status<br />
*2. Potential CasitConf liability: ~$28,000, anticipated loss ~$10,000+<br />
**Projected 3/20/2017 balance: $33,886.67<br />
<br />
=== Membership report (VanDevender) ===<br />
* Total active members: 620 (previous report: 668, change: -48)<br />
<br />
* Paying: 333 (7 new in last 30 days)<br />
<br />
* Non-paying: 287 (23 new in last 30 days)<br />
<br />
Paying members include Individual, Charter, Founding, and Lifetime memberships. Non-paying members include Student and Complimentary memberships.<br />
<br />
The apparent drop in active members appears to be because Wild Apricot doesn't count members pending renewal as "active", and a number of members who got memberships through Cascadia '16 registration are currently pending renewal.<br />
<br />
== Committee reports ==<br />
=== Conferences/Events activities report (Powers) ===<br />
==== LOPSA Cascadia 2017: March 10,11. Contract cutoff:(?) (Kacoroski,Uphill,Globermann,English,Powers) ====<br />
* All Tutorials have at least 7, Git has 20 participants<br />
* 35 registered as attending talks (Sat)<br />
* Atom:<br />
** We're likely to be $8k-$10k behind on budget - due to lower reg and sponsorship<br />
** Whiteboards request<br />
** Cut back on food some, and a few other minor items to save money<br />
<br />
==== SCALE ====<br />
* Ski: We've had about 10 members come up and say that they "just renew every year"<br />
<br />

<br />
=== Marketing/Communications (LOPSAgram, #lopsa-live, etc) (English, Uphill) ===<br />

** Currently have a submission from Ski about SCALE<br />
** Paul: I can write one about Cascadia<br />
** Other than that.. we could (as always) use more content. How about that Travel Ban (now in version 2.0) statement?<br />
