Notes

1. Updates
   1. Working on ITAV with Leaders
      1. Next session on Jan. 31 focuses on community engagement
      2. Maybe need to revisit membership benefits?
      3. Applying for a Catalyst fund grant to pursue a survey
2. Task force vs. interest group
   1. Task forces are limited in time compared to interest groups which are ongoing
   2. This group is more of an interest group - running continuously
   3. Need to discuss scope and responsibilities of this group
      1. Could draw from ITAV community engagement session
      2. Need more group members but everyone is stretched pretty thin
   4. David: make a list of activities that this group does
   5. David: check on current members and invoices
3. Individual membership
   1. Could a single researcher also be a member?
   2. What would the benefits be? Swag like hats and shirts?
