Summary
The meeting centered on sponsorship strategies, establishing platinum, gold, silver, and bronze tiers for funding. Plans included reaching out to legacy sponsors like Parsons Audio and Pro Audio Design, as well as companies such as Izotope and Parsons Audio. Detailed tier breakdowns encompassed benefits like logo placement in newsletter, BAES website, and event presence based on donation levels, also discussing short-term engagements for smaller contributions.
We shift to looking towards the rest of the month and leading up to June. Future plans involved organizing events like picnics, banquets, and educational engagements with universities such as Northeastern and UMass Lowell. A date for a BAES picnic/social is set for June 15th (tentative) at Daniel Fox’s house in Acton, MA. Considerations regarding the format of Brewster’s talk and Zoom webinar hosting were also addressed. Zoom webinar license could potentially be sorted out by headquarters.
The focus remained on balancing engagement strategies effectively, planning activities offline during April due to limited meeting availability.Written By: Otto Klammer
