Brainstorm Retainment Active Members

Dear members of GEWIS, Last GMM, there was a discussion about how GEWIS could best tackle problems involving the retainment of active members. Hence, there will be a brainstorm about this topic. We will talk about what options there are and which of those would be realistic and feasible during this brainstorm, with FREE lunch! The problem: During the last few years, COVID had quite an impact on the influx of active members. This puts more pressure on the active members we have and in order to keep them working on all the fun and projects that are going on, we might need to change something within the association. At this moment, but this has been a reoccurring topic over the past years, there are members that not feel valued enough and would like to see more appreciation for their work from time to time. Possible solutions: During the GMM, there was a discussion about making a new post on the budget focused on "retainment active members". The goal of this brainstorm is thinking about how this could be best implemented. These ideas were discussed before:

• The board is totally free in giving something to a group as sign of appreciation. There will be no strict policy and each board can see for themselves how they want to spend it.
• Organs can hand in a budget to ask for some money, for example if they want lunch during a working moment.
• Every organ of GEWIS has a standard budget per year that they can spend, this can be either lunch, or a group bonding activity

If you have a totally different solution, or any additional ideas, feel free to send an email to cib@gewis.nl and it will be added to the agenda. At the end of the meeting, we will decide what would be the best way to proceed. Please subscribe if you want to join the meeting so you can receive any additional documents and to get free lunch. If you are not subscribed, you can still join the meeting but there will not be lunch for you. Love, The 41st board of GEWIS.
