[Eg-oversight-board] Evergreen Outreach Update

[Kathy Lussier]

Hi all,

Below are the updates from the Evergreen Outreach Committee:

LOGOS

Outreach Committee member Meme Marlow has put out a survey to get 
community feedback on the shortlist of round / square logo options that 
were provided by the logo designer.

MERCHANDISE

We have made selections for items that will be available at the 
merchandise booth at the annual conference. In addition to the t-shirts 
we sold last year, we will be selling the new quote t-shirt ("You never 
know what trouble you can get into by reading the documentation.") as 
well as stickers and bottle openers.

We have sold 24 conference t-shirts. These are sold separately from 
other merchandise because we would be unable to sell any leftover stock 
in future years.

ANNUAL REPORT

Work continues on the 2017 community annual report.

ALA

I have put out a call for donations to support our Midwinter Outreach 
program. At this time, we need about $625 more in contributions to cover 
the cost of a/v.

We have submitted a proposal for our program at ALA Annual. The details 
are available here -

The Outreach Committee discussed our return on investment on these 
programs now that we have scheduled them for more than two years. We get 
a decent turnout at ALA Annual, but turnout is low at Midwinter. It is 
also difficult to find presenters for Midwinter. We were all in 
agreement that it might be better to forgo the Midwinter program and 
focus our efforts on Annual. We might also want to consider supporting 
the cost of a/v if we focus on the one program and potentially getting 
sponsors to help support the program. We do not require a/v for the 
upcoming program at Annual, so we do have time to discuss and consider 
our options.
