  - We’ll put photos in the office
- Swag/rebranding
  - pls subsidize our top tier hoodies so we can order more
    - Doesn’t make sense to subsidize, not really CSUA wide hoodies or include much of our branding minus the name and website

  - It’s important for us to have something that we can wear consistently

  - It doesn’t really feel like something that fits CSUA
  - We want more information before advertising/partnering/whatever
- Funds?
  - Funds are good, we are still in the process of getting our public funds
- Rules
  - We are getting rid of the officer infraction form and instead publicizing the feedback form a lot more
  - If people are breaking the rules, if you don’t want to call people out, bring it up with someone on pb
  - If you’re confused on an office rule, ask someone on PB for clarification
- Slack usage
  - We are going to make slack more public so that people can add themselves and be in the CSUA loop
