Hi folks,

We had planned to have a meeting after we heard back from SSHRC.  We don’t know, of course, what the issue was with our application, but I think it would be prudent to consider the possibility that we might not get a SSHRC grant.  Or at least we have to determine how we would deal with such a scenario.  We can have a Zoom meeting beforehand if anyone thinks it useful but,  in any case, I would like for the fundraising committee to have a face-to-face meeting in  Winnipeg after the broader committee meets so that we can think about our budget, and have a fuller discussion of the issues and options.  In the meantime (and it is only a week), we should hold off making any commitments on issues such as keynote speakers (I don’t know where Krishna is with this).  

Let me know your thoughts, and if you agree.  And whether we should meet right after the larger meeting, or take a break and meet, say Tuesday or Wednesday, if folks are around then.

Jim
