Cate's Wiki/Clearinghouse

In Progress

• Updated Slack Guide - needs a little friendlier, encouraging tone and need to adapt the Guidelines for Discussion to be more Slack/forum-specific
• Chapter Code of Conduct - need to add/adapt Jemez Principles for Democratic Organizing, conflict resolution, determine "guidelines" or "considerations" for romantic relationships
• Chapter Archive

• Access to meeting minutes
• Index of political resolutions

• Chapter Library Catalog - have everything collected in an Amazon list. Need to find the best way to manage and distribute this

Need to Update

• What is DSA handbill/flier/pamphlet - We printed these as a tri-fold last year, but now they're out of date. Could potentially use a new format and create a powerpoint as well

Needs

• Chapter Budget Process Explainer
