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.

**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
