We discussed making the changes to our constitution to reflect the group's changing executive board structure and voting procedures. Approval for these changes was not met with any resistance, and I believe Drew and Georg are going to make the necessary changes.

We also discussed moving meetings to New England Building, and this also was not met with any resistance, so our next general body meeting will take place in New England, in the first classroom to the left when you walk in.

Budgeting was the next point of discussion, with research materials being the major point of discussion for next year. Capital IQ, a Bloomberg Terminal, and a subscription to themarkets.com were the 3 services mentioned. Georg is going to see if we can get a grant for the Bloomberg terminal, and if educational discounts are available for all these services, before we decide what to pursue.

With the $875 currently in our account, it was suggested that we purchase filing cabinets to store our research materials, and finding a space for the filing cabinets would be the next step.

Andy suggested we post the minutes on the blog, and will be doing that from now.

Finally, we split into our industry subgroups to discuss possible companies/options and further meeting times.
