===AF Austin Postcards and Business Cards===<br />
The Austin chapter really liked the SF postcards and some of the previous business card designs, so we made multiple versions so we could mix and match fronts and backs using both high-quality Moo prints and less-expensive Vistaprint prints. [http://wiki.awesomestudies.org/images/e/ec/AFAustinBusinessCardsPreview.pdf Here's a PDF preview of the six card designs.] We've provided the original Illustrator files in case other chapters want to just change the chapter location and URL to get started on their own. If you don't have an artist you work with, we hired local Austin artist [http://ahernpaul.com/ Paul Ahern] to make these for us.<br />

'''One outcome of this session was the [https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1SPMNibLqjgPP48csc_b9MWvEa9jMs8BbeNAbWuI66kQ/edit?usp=sharing Global Inspirational Projects List] (see [[Resources and References]])'''<br />
<br />
The initial group* went around and shared their favourite projects from memory (usually one 'more orphans' and one 'more flamethrowers' project). Jeffrey transcribed these into the [https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1SPMNibLqjgPP48csc_b9MWvEa9jMs8BbeNAbWuI66kQ/edit?usp=sharing Global Inspirational Projects List], but some need corrected titles, links, summaries, and photos at the time of writing.<br />
<br />
(*Gavin, Alison, Ramanjot, Justin, Jerry, Jeffrey, Dave, Tina, Kara, Andrew)<br />
<br />
Group discussed having a 'superlatives' list (most likely to take over the world, etc) for projects, each chapter could feature their best for inclusion in this list.<br />
<br />
Dave: create a resource kit for all chapters - a list of great projects for inspiration<br />
<br />
Terry: My dream is to have a once a day email list of AF projects, ideally a short video explaining what each project is<br />
<br />
Gavin: Before each summit: each chapter chooses their fav project of the year (using the website 'Awesome' button? Group: this probably won't work for that purpose)<br />
<br />
Kara: create an export of all projects per chapter to use as a resource<br />
<br />
Tina: share out when you find a particularly important project (on social media?)<br />
<br />
Dave: create a twitter account for just top projects?<br />
<br />
Andrew: do we want one resource for communicating to chapters, and a different one for public PR?<br />
<br />
Dave: wants viz of metrics on submissions<br />
<br />
Website Feature Request:<br />
<br />
"Currently featured project" button that chapters can use to send a project to the top of their page on the Awesome site.<br />
Also, possibly all of the currently featured projects can be collected on one page on the AF site.<br />
<br />
or <br />
"share globally" button that sends a project to the global awesome list? Would we want a summary written by the chapter or by the grantee?<br />
<br />
Gavin: a mailing list is better than a website / website-feature?<br />
<br />
Where does "currently featured project" go? Which part of the AF site? we need to design/create requirements for this.<br />
<br />
Awesome Inspirational Projects mailing list?<br />
Awesome Podcast?<br />
<br />
Tina: as a use of the optional the application field: a question asking for a One-or-Two Sentence Pitch to summarize project<br />
<br />
Dave: if grantee is not best of writers, summary may not be great content that we want to share publicly<br />
<br />
Ana: in Rio, successful grantees are given the opportunity to rewrite their projects to be shared publicly - possibly with update on status of project<br />
<br />
Gavin: what if the mailing list has a weekly digest of tweets from all chapters?<br />
<br />
Ana: create a committee of people dedicated to sharing global Awesome material on social media? (they might select the best projects worldwide to feature)<br />
<br />
Group: we have some options:<br />
<br />
Create a Static List, infrequently updated, share with anyone who could use it (we implemented this in the form of the above linked presentation)<br />
vs.<br />
Continuously updated feed, for example on a Facebook group, that keeps people engaged and informed of latest inspirational projects (this might be accomplished with the Website Feature Request above - or it could be crowdsourced from all chapters to manually add their favs)<br />
<br />
Dave: we want to define a technical/personell workflow<br />
<br />
Jeff Cho: just send an email to the global awesome list when there's a particularly great highlight you want to share?<br />
<br />
Group discussed these options and decided to start with something achievable, static list in form of above linked presentation that anyone can edit.</div>Alexdchttps://wiki.awesomestudies.org/index.php?title=Awesummit2014:Best_Examples_of_Grantees/Winners&diff=220527Awesummit2014:Best Examples of Grantees/Winners2014-09-07T18:31:37Z<p>Alexdc: Starting transcription of notes (by Jeffrey, not Alex)</p>

The Austin chapter really liked the SF postcards and some of the previous business card designs, so we made multiple versions so we could mix and match fronts and backs using both high-quality Moo prints and less-expensive Vistaprint prints. [http://wiki.awesomestudies.org/images/e/ec/AFAustinBusinessCardsPreview.pdf Here's a PDF preview of the six card designs.] We've provided the original Illustrator files in case other chapters want to just change the chapter location and URL to get started on their own. If you don't have an artist you work with, we hired local Austin artist [http://ahernpaul.com/ Paul Ahern] to make these for us.<br />

<div>AMD will clean up on 9/7/14<br />
<br />
<br />
- How your reaching different communities?<br />
- Each chapter being conscious of the projects they are selecting. (2 community gardens)<br />
- Try and do a pattern<br />
- Have we funded something recently?<br />
- Do we want to fund this again?<br />
<br />
Every idea you fund, you will notice a few more ideas. <br />
<br />
Funding from the same group of people. Perceived problem.<br />
<br />
Application diversity - themed projects, every six months<br />
Themed applications, let people know.<br />
<br />
What are the kinds of diversities?<br />
- Age of the applicants (like to see applications elementary to seniors)<br />
- Diverse areas (arts, science, community groups, social)<br />
- Socioeconomic diversity<br />
- Targeted movement towards people who couldn't do this on their own<br />
- Hey we are looking for your projects, in your community, as long as they are awesome<br />
<br />
We want you to contribute, what you contribute has to be awesome<br />
<br />
Language, offer exposure in other ways - at a certain point (some people are not going to be happy).<br />
<br />
Thought about doing a themed night -- won't have enough applications. <br />
<br />
Double grant - a lot easier.<br />
Public pitch party. If we invite people to pitch, we cannot really say we won't fund anything. <br />
<br />
Be disappointing to set people up to be a themed night. Themed month, not plan a pitch party. Two parties (regular pitch party). <br />
<br />
The push that is going out to the communities - this is the type of things we are looking for, this would be great to apply to us. Depend a lot, who we have in our trustee group. <br />
<br />
Questions:<br />
<br />
1) Some groups do this differently, live pitches - how do live pitches work?<br />
- Trustees look at all applications, vote through the website, as the dean - Shari looks at what has been voted on and picks top 3-5 public pitch party. Decide based on votes. If an application doesn't receive at least 3 votes. <br />
They pitch to us - the trustee groups (goes into the scrum), done by consensus. <br />
<br />
2) How many people outside applicants and trustees are at the events?<br />
- Driven by who is pitching, have some supporters<br />
- 6 additional people (30 - 40)<br />
(downtown locations, vary the locations), or be a challenge for it. Pubs and bars, people may hear us having the discussion. Gain interest. <br />
<br />
3) Six different restaurants - those places donated food, haven't had that happen. Halifax. <br />
New restaurants -- community focused (vested interest).<br />
<br />
Tweeting - where going to go, eat at that restaurant. Also giving them business - surprises, haven't even bothered to r<br />
<br />
<br />
Public award party - wrap-up session. How successful they were. Don't have to do something every month. Highlights the successes. <br />
<br />
-> pitch party 3-4 months<br />
-> rotate change to twice a year (all of applications)<br />
-> get some momentum going<br />
<br />
Really structured -- a few people with the time and energy.<br />
<br />
Found one place -> we are going tweet you, we will tweet us - don't have to worry about, everyone knows where to go. One person coordinating.<br />
<br />
Disconnects the pitch from the application - meeting at a pub or restaurant, invite considering maybe putting in an application. Say how did this work, what do I need to put in my application. Opportunity for people to brainstorm -- outreach to let people know. <br />
<br />
Isn't a very narrow thing, let those people gain confidence in their idea. Giant hammock idea.<br />
<br />
--- a bunch of people who have good ideas ---<br />
Other trustees.<br />
<br />
--> Hosted some of our events in new places (maker space group) - to get people aware of the maker space. Consider Awesome Kingston, hope out there.<br />
<br />
OTTAWA -<br />
Intentionally fund projects not in Ottawa that are REALLY cool. Modeling another type of application. <br />
Post-funding or projects, <br />
This is what we are looking -- what makes me happy. <br />
<br />
A lot of Awesome is investing in people, not projects.<br />
- really focused (extra grants) - extra grant, fund an any project. Still funding local stuff.<br />
<br />
everyone has an agenda -- to be a trustee, guest trustee? local councilor - federal member of parliament. Whether that would come over</div>Alexdchttps://wiki.awesomestudies.org/index.php?title=Awesummit2014:Trustee_Diversity&diff=220518Awesummit2014:Trustee Diversity2014-09-07T15:39:10Z<p>Alexdc: Created page with "AMD will clean up on 9/7/14 Detailed Notes Jeffrey (Seattle): (accessibility) expanding, diversity.

<div>AMD will clean up on 9/7/14<br />
<br />
Detailed Notes<br />
<br />
Jeffrey (Seattle): (accessibility) expanding, diversity.<br />
Value in being a trustee in being a trustee, not only do I feel good about giving money, gained deeper connections into the community. <br />
Something that would be valuable for people in all sorts of different places, gain that kind of trustee experience. Financially (Knight Foundation), background and outcomes. Has given more people access. <br />
<br />
Lee-Sean (NYC): Up state and suburban areas. Make up of the trustees ourselves, make-up of the trustees is not representative. Start to share solutions:<br />
Sharing trusteeships (instead of $100, 50/50). Time commitment. Hard to commit to one thing a month. <br />
<br />
Ramanjot/Valerie (Ottawa): Tech background, more diverse now. Aboriginal community, class diversity (because of $100). Missing out on interesting perspective and networks. Fund diversely, low income community (a lot of those applications that come in). <br />
<br />
John (Sarnia): Are we losing out on applications because we can afford it? Look at the trustees and say it's that come group.<br />
<br />
Tung (New Orleans): Founded under the Knight grant, 8 of our original grants were directly funded by that. Tried very hard to be very diverse. Class diversity, racial, gender, sexual orientation, religion - not so much industry, along all those lines. The commitment: finanical, time, geography. Didn't have to worry about the finances, can we meet somewhere where everyone can get to. Near to communities of least opportunity -- everything was really good. Always had good conversations, wanted to do all the things (grant diversely) Because there was no financial commitment, started -- hard to maintain a good level of engagement. It was taxing to have a good conversation. People who wanted to spend time. By not having a good way to coach the conversation, none of us were really professional facilitators, people who could move away. Lower class trustees, who don't have the ability to make the commitment. To effect that, relieve those spaces.<br />
Facilitation keeps the group on track. <br />
- Do you have a dean? Pass the meeting facilitation through all trustees (had all agreed that we all have our agendas). The reason I am in the Awesome Foundation. Not a part of your community and want to know more about it. Came at it from an altruistic standpoint?<br />
<br />
50/50 (one person, one pair one vote) - whoever, (rob and rachel), one vote between the two of them.<br />
In our process, voting is a last resort, prenominate - discuss (champion) voting. <br />
Co-chairs and co-trustees. <br />
All of the higher-income were co-trustees, they knew and trusted.<br />
<br />
Jeffrey (Seattle): Willing and interested in donating the money, want the trustees to be engaged in the process. Is the trustee. Seem to help the money commitment, time and geographic commitment. <br />
<br />
Ramanjot -- people who WANT to be there are the ones who give money. No point, that's the fun part of it. Be a trustee and not be coming to the meeting. <br />
<br />
If we are talking about working through. Having sponsors.<br />
<br />
Lee-Sean (NYC): Guest trusteeship slot (lower commitment), easy out, money and vote -- doesn't work out.<br />
<br />
Valerie (Ottawa): Two co-chairs (one focused on internal stuff and one focused on external stuff). For that turnover piece, external person, with external focus. Getting the word out -> helps for attracting.<br />
<br />
Originally in NYC, the dean was an operations person who give time and not money. Setting up meetings, doing public outreach, (connecting and distributing), less onerous on any one person. <br />
<br />
Mechanisms to solicit trustees <br />
- friends and family, in the span of reaching people who are giving access, different vehicles. Reaching out to the grant winners, give grants to, came back and joined. <br />
- 1 for 1<br />
- Open House - Information session for guest trustees (email list). Hopefully can get passed around. <br />
- Targeted specific groups (get more applications from that community)<br />
- Messaging to your grantee winners (just people who apply). export to the system. <br />
- Contact everyone who has applied. (Check box on applications).<br />
- Identified <br />
<br />
Does it matter that the trustees are diverse? <br />
Good quality applications -- good diverse friends, better applications. Good reason for that, we have a really different makeup. <br />
<br />
Separate bank account. <br />
- Ask for money in advance<br />
- Shame list<br />
- Venmo/Simple -- free send a check. <br />
<br />
<br />
Framework for recruitment? <br />
Checklist<br />
Cap the number of trustees <br />
Ambassador Program (trustee who goes and helps someone present).<br />
<br />
<br />
A way to submit an application without online (not diversity) - pitch nights. Presentation vs. the written word. <br />
<br />
Easy for trustees to try to choose diverse awards<br />
Can become an ambassador. <br />
<br />
Some of our people who are past winners are trustees, but not <br />
Non-paying trustees (they do have responsibilities)<br />
<br />
You are in or you are out. Dropped out for lack of time. Write a check for the year. Show up and money. <br />
<br />
Invite the media - debriefing, as long as you vote. <br />
<br />
People - (diversity of environment)<br />
<br />
--> what does the lack of diversity mean for us?<br />
Does board change and applications - applicant just a friend of the trustee<br />
Signaling the kinds of things you are interested in by the makeup of the board<br />
skateboard<br />
Awesome London page -- all of our media is about the applicants. <br />
Who is next -- different faces, and different voices.<br />
<br />
How did you hear about us? 40 percent of the time<br />
<br />
If you don't get support from us, will this project still happen?<br />
The experience of being a trustee is valuable - denying people the opportunity. <br />
<br />
Having a diverse trustee group, more diverse value (we all see projects through the same lens) <br />

DEAN 101 - workshop</div>Alexdchttps://wiki.awesomestudies.org/index.php?title=Awesummit2014:How_Chapters_Run&diff=220517Awesummit2014:How Chapters Run2014-09-07T15:37:25Z<p>Alexdc: Initial draft of uploading these materials (AMD 9/7/2014)</p>
<hr />
<div>'''Introduction'''<br />
<br />
Participating chapters: Edmonton, Kingston, Halifax, London (Ontario), Atlanta, New York City, Baltimore, Washington D.C.<br />
<br />
'''Leadership Models:'''<br />
<br />
- Dean/Deputy Dean Model: Two trustees (1 paying, 1 nonpaying) who manage administrative requests. 8+ additional trustees for grant giving. Currently, Washington D.C. operates with this model. <br />
<br />
- Task Force Awesome Model (Dean, Steering Committee, Core 9): Three trustees (1 paying, 2 nonpaying) who make up the "Steering Committee." (AKA "Task Force Awesome") with 9 core trustees and rotating guest trustee spot. Currently, Kingston operates with this model. <br />
<br />
- Team Dean Model: 4 (non-paying) individuals who each act as the team of Deans. No single person takes on all of the responsibility, responsibilities (like social media, meeting scheduling, and other coordination) are divided. Currently, Halifax operates with this model.<br />
<br />
- Dean & Intern Model: 1 dean (paying) and an intern (or group of interns). The dean manages the administrative and financial aspects, interns help with promotions. Interns can be organized through a local university and can receive college credit. <br />
An alternative is to coordinate with a marketing class at a university who needs a project. Currently, Atlanta and London (Ontario) operate with this model, and Edmonton has worked with a marketing class group from a local university.<br />
<br />
- Dean & PR Model: PR Ninja<br />
<br />
'''Meeting Models:'''<br />
<br />
- Social Hour Model: All voting happens online. Monthly "happy hour" meeting at the same location every month, all applicants invited to attend the happy hour, finalist presented with a big check at the happy hour. <br />
<br />
- Meet and Deliberate Model: Trustees meet at agreed upon location and time, and review all applications submitted and come to a consensus after a debate. Winner is informed afterwards and the grantee is invited to the next meeting (as a potential guest trustee). <br />
<br />
- Meet and Deliberate (Finalists) Model: Trustees meet at agreed upon location and time, and review all finalists, and come to a consensus after a debate. Winner is informed afterwards and the grantee is invited to the next meeting (as a potential guest trustee).<br />
<br />
- Pitch Party Model: Trustees select finalists online, and meet at a public location every month. If an application has at least 3 separate trustees votes, the applicant gets invited to the pitch party and pitches there idea. The trustees meet in a "scrum" at the party, and select the finalist. <br />
<br />
- Scheduled Commitment Model: Trustees (more than 10) review a calendar of available meetings for a year in advance and commit to at least 3 meetings. <br />
<br />
- <br />
<br />
<br />
Cash Collection Models:<br />
<br />
- Up Front: Trustees provide $1000/$1200 at the beginning of the year, thus committing them to the whole year. <br />
<br />
- Venmo & Simple: <br />
<br />
- DBA Account: <br />
<br />
- Cash at Meeting: <br />
<br />
<br />
Management Models:<br />
<br />
- PR efforts<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Raw notes included below.<br />
<br />
-------<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
- Interested (new chapter handbook) different methods of how different chapters run it<br />
<br />
- Kingston, 9 trustees with rotating guest trustee (dean) - trustee engagement issue: not contributing to conversations. Dean, two other people (steering committee) coordinate and make decisions. Where are we going next? What's going to be? Guest presenter? Who is the guest trustee<br />
DEAN, 2 other volunteers (steering committee) - just wanted to contribute money<br />
One that wasn't a trustee. From that splintered into a different idea. Doesn't have to be the trustees doing the work. Task Force Awesome. - Where do those volunteers come from?<br />
<br />
Halifax<br />
Team Deans, none of them are the dean. 4 of us - share social media, each have a day. Restructuring/rebranding -- 2 of us didn't have enough time -- none of us are trustees. (Halifax, has 20) - 3 cycles of trustees. Cash commitment, time commitment reduced by a third. turnover of deans, wave of trustees. 2 groups of 10. Alternate months. Bi-monthly model. One really successful months.<br />
3 grants. <br />
<br />
London - trustees who don't give money<br />
who just do the media stuff.<br />
trustee<br />
<br />
Atlanta -- decided not to do that, get someone who was an adult. Our pipeline for ambassadors -- 60 applicants. Pipeline is school of journalism. dean role, college credit --> called college, justify why you need to have them. International site is as robust as it is - informs them of the mission.<br />
<br />
London - also partnering with a university project/internship. High school teacher, who does an arts program. What art.<br />
<br />
Edmonton - same thing, marketing class --> <br />
<br />
Time commitments <br />
(4 hrs), <br />
<br />
Atlanta -- important.<br />
Don't have live pitches. (Partners) "Social Good Sipping" happy hour. Hotel lobby, never had to vote on where to meet. Our trustees and the grantee. <br />
Vote online (first through the 20th) -- time to vote and fund. <br />
Wins by the 31st, this is the winner (PR on the winner) -- inviting them to awesome hour. Invited everyone out to our last happy hour<br />
Find collaboration -- drink and talk. <br />
When we tweet --> ask your mayor retweets, state senator/ tag the media on the tweets. <br />
media plan written out --> ATLANTA focused. <br />
Motivated to pitch to local media. Who we've given to (they won an Awesome Foundation grant). Focus is about the winner, that's the cool story you want to tell. <br />
Awesome hour not the pitch. Finalists -- only who won. Here's our winner -- sent out an invite to everyone as a database. Import into mail chimp.<br />
157 people. Fork and Juniper on the 17th (mentioned in major paper). <br />
Monthly press release - interns, focuses on who won. <br />
What sort of time commitment - business -- natural part of a day. <br />
<br />
Reciprocal benefit. <br />
<br />
--> trustees, were so busy --> 5 trustees out (driving around money collecting).<br />
Trustees -> gave $100 in advance. Come into the trustee dinner (have $1000 set aside) gets to bring a delegate. If a trustee drops out.<br />
<br />
NYC -- cash (lee-sean), everyone just sends him $100 by Venmo. He'll coordinate with whoever was the winner. Venmos them. From a tax perspective. <br />
One person can give another person $15,000 -> If there is a trail. <br />
No pitch events, no monthly events -- Had problems, have <br />
Our gatherings, the gathering is the trustees getting together because we like eachother, all the members do shortlisting. <br />
Need new trustees, what's the event. Do our decisions. Will be their point person.<br />
If 3-4 trustees come, getting someone to arrange it. Having someone champion. <br />
<br />
Consistent space where people meet? Lobby bar full, third wednesday of the month (in Atlanta). That's what they told. Don't need permission to get a happy hour. Problem was getting trustees there, open it up to the public -- doesn't matter who is there. Cool networking event for doers of social good. About that person telling their story. Our grants have been tied to social good. <br />
<br />
Public meetings.<br />
- Ottawa once a month (not time bound). <br />
- Making a decision<br />
- Is there anyone here?<br />
3 1/2 meeting -- <br />
<br />
Boston -- usually gives two grants. Some people (split your thousand). 20 trustees, two thousand dollar grants, every month. <br />
baller grant. <br />
<br />
Baltimore - Extra money. Up to $1200, $2400, surplus. Throw a big party at the end of the year. <br />
Every other month (8 full time, 2 guests) - trying to experiment. <br />
Every month - online system. <br />
Picked their month. Everybody brings $100 dollars to the money. Social media. <br />
Baltimore -- THEMED. How do you get that? PR, majority of marketing -- social media and email. Print outs. Word of mouth. Culture in NYC different<br />
Only discuss finalists. Meetings our 2 hours. (LOGISTICS). <br />
Restructuring it large enough. <br />
<br />
Atlanta - DBA (doing business as) - Awesome Atlanta (checks written to the Awesome Foundation). Application window -- 1st thru 20th. 21 - end of month to mail in a check. PO Box (go fund me) if someone is travelling ($109). PayPal Go dep. $1000 comes in $1000 goes out. <br />
<br />
Go online, voting. 1 part office hours 3 parts cocktail party. Decent amount of PR - each have a person. Somebody who is consistent about it. (luminaries to tag), personal phone calls. Watch trends - aligned to one of the grantees. Troubled youth in the court system. Extend his story (media savvy). Wasn't by design. You can be deliberate about it. Before the media stuff --> START WITH PEOPLE YOU LIKE. NYC, reached out to other chapters. DIVERSIFY professionally, build the culture. <br />
<br />
Oahu. (Facebook site) -- Avi go search the website. (AWESOME WITHOUT BORDERS) see in anyone in your area. <br />
<br />
Baltimore - New chapterism (boston model) - taking new deans and growing it - having an agenda, 10 people, vaguely decided what happened. Letting the consensus determine what kind of chapter. The lightness, this should be fun -- shouldn't be pressure. <br />
<br />
Kara (have this all organized) - "cat wrangler" without Kara would it continue? <br />
<br />
NYC - very fun, very fluid. <br />
<br />
Lightness vs. Commitment --> always got money in. Promise the money, friends more like time the more important thing than money. <br />
<br />
Slots --> 8 new people every month. When we co-deaned (deans) day money is being delivered. Jason does admin. -- 6 people who committed, 4 people who did 3 months. <br />
whole group only meets once -- one meeting with everyone. The one date you have to be there, you have it a year in advance. (third sunday for brunch). Invite them and hand them a check. People who signed up in November. What if I don't inherently agree? You have to relinquish that. At no point does anybody join that most of the board doesn't know about already. Everyone brings $100, want our 10 guest trustee, got so pumped blasting it to an audience. Guesting for a crazy thing. All just contribute -> really interested. <br />
<br />
Can you make a two month or three month commitment.</div>Alexdc
