In reply to Sharon, I’m assuming that we will be returning the $5,000 that was specifically for Bragg. 

In my own opinion, I’m happy to sponsor this and to make a healthy contribution. I don’t see any reason to be a co-presenter.  In terms of benefits to us, our sponsorship would be acknowledged in any case.  The difference between a $20 and $30 ticket is not substantive for almost all of our attendees and if anyone from the committee wants to attend the meet and greet, they can pay the $100 themselves.  It being after the conference, I don’t think there is any need for a brief speech, etc.

My suggestion is that we simply sponsor the event to the tune of $5,000.

Hi, Jeff!

It *is* a split for sure. When you consider that CCPA is bearing the full costs of:

• venue rental

• advertising and promotion

• security/talent transportation

• A/V and other event onsite needs

• staff and supports

I can't supply a precise budget of these above costs, but they reach beyond $15K. I assure you.

All the work is to be done by CCPA-MB, too. It requires practically no labour from us.

It's a fair co-presenter's proposal.

Thanks Krishna.

So the total cost is just less than $25K Canadian

What other funding do they have?

UM Arts Labour Studies is putting in 5K.  If we were to put in $11K, the Labour Studies/1919 total contribution would be $16K, or almost two-thirds of the cost.  It starts to look like primarily our event.

Hi, folks!

Sorry for the delay by way of reply.

Boots fee is $17.5K (US) plus a $1.5K travel buyout.

In exchange for $9K-$11K (CDN) -- likely leaning towards the $11K side of things -- we receive:

1. Co-presenter/co-billing status

2. Reduced ticket price of $20 for up to 200 conference goers

3. 10 free $100 meet and greets with Boots at post-event wine and cheese for WGSCC Committee members/organizers/etc.

4. Full advertising in all materials,

5. Brief speaking time at the start of the event

That's what I have for now. I am hoping we can agree in principle on this by tomorrow and then I can flesh the details and produce the contract over the weekend.

Sorry, I'm in between meetings just now, but will write more later.

In fairness, I think we need to talk to Kevin about this if we are hoping 

to still receive the $5000 that was to help pay for Billy Bragg.

It’s between $9K and $11K altogether, Jeff. I have a call into CCPA shortly and will supply greater details by noon.

Is this a proposal to provide funding in support of Riley?  If so, how much?

Hello everyone,

The entertainment sub-committee explored many options and reached the following decision:

The 1919 committee will co-sponsor the CCPA Boots Riley event on Saturday evening. Registrants will have time to attend both the Riley event and the Labour Temple social.

For Friday night, the conference schedule will provide a list of local events, venues, and restaurants people can go to on their own. We decided this based on the lack of time to organize something worthwhile and with the conference schedule already packed as it is we decided to give people the chance to do whatever it is they want to do.

Unless a majority of the committee objects before Friday 4:00 PM, we will proceed with contacting the CCPA so that our conference logo can be included on the ads for the event that are going out on Monday.

We will also ask the CCPA to set aside a number of reduced-price tickets for conference attendees, and contact registrants to act quickly to get a ticket.
