**Orders of the day are subject to change
Several board members went to the panel at CCCSAA to hear about OrgSync. The adoption of this
program would allow each club to have an online page to which they can log on with their student email
and password. Also, a master calendar will be created with all the events and it can be viewed at large or
just the events of a specific club. Swipe cards would allow check people in the events and trach which
events they attend. There will be no need for the roll call at ICC meetings. The program would also allow
students to track their volunteer hours, which is very useful for Community Service Program. Different
SMC departments and committees can also be incorporated. It costs $850/year.
No action on the item was taken.

A.S. Liason, Jason Hwang, introduced the item. ISF has organized this trip for several years now, and it
has been a success among the ISF members. For UCSB they will have an official tour guide, for the rest
they will have their ex ISF members give them the tour of the campus. Each student pays $80 to go on this
trip.

Minutes
**Orders of the day are subject to change
ICC Vice Chair said that from her personal experience as a club officer, she got the desire to get involved
in A.S.
Director of Budget Management: I don’t get a stipend as a SSCCC Senator, and my incentive is to help
people, to be the person who extends his hand to someone in need.
Student Trustee: At the same time we give a lot of our time to the AS. As a Student Trustee I get paid
more than the A.S. Directors. Maybe we can match that or something close to that.
President: Other ASOs don’t match what we do. Our student government is different. Our jobs and
environment is very unique. No other school funded Welcome Day, while we funded it by $20000.
Vice President: When I decided to be part of A.S., I had chose this over a job.
President: If we do increase the stipend, Directors will have to earn it. It will have to be based on merit,
something like the point system.
Director of Budget Management: Regions I, VI, and V have active boards, they work just as hard as we
do, but they don’t receive the same compensation. We shouldn’t be increasing the stipends until we see
the need in this board.
Director of Instructional and Technical Support: At CCCSAA I saw ASOs, which don’t get compensated
at all. I think we’re lucky to get $1000.00.
8.2 Morning Breakfast
Was presented by the A.S. President. The idea came from his personal experience with Bike Club, which
did a morning breakfast for their members for supporting the sustainability. The breakfast would be for
early birds who have morning classes and before their classes start, study here in the A.S. Student
Lounge. It will be bi-monthly or once a week. Breakfast would have typical breakfast items including but
not limited to bananas, other fruit, donuts, yogurt, etc.
Director of Instructional and Technical Support directed everyone at the sign in the Lounge that says “no
food or drinks allowed,” but Director of Activities pointed at the words “except for special events” in
smaller font.
8.3 Discussion regarding shirts and promotional apparel for A.S. Associated Students of Santa Monica
College
Publicity: At CCCSAA, Antelope Valley College had unique to their ASO cardigans. It would be nice to
do the same thing for our A.S. Apparel would include white polos and blue cardigans and v-neck shirts.
Director of Sustainability suggested the materials used is 100% organic
cotton. ICC Chair moved to refer this item to a committee
Vice President seconded
