Sierra Club Members in Attendance:

Item 1 – Financials
Credits included mule pack trip fees. The cost of the equipment that GLS purchased in 2022 has been covered by mule pack fees. The equipment is available for use in support of any GLS outing or event.
GLS will also donate $1,100 to the Angeles Chapter this year.
Savings – possibly moving GLS funds to a high-yield savings account was discussed. Concerns include ease of administration and return on time investment. Jeff J. to ask Morgan how some other Angeles Chapter groups are handling their accounts.
Item 2 – Website
Tan Nguyen joined the call. He has ideas for how we can improve the GLS website to be more readable and engaging, especially on mobile devices. Options include staying with WordPress and making the site more mobile-friendly via configuring one of their templates. Alternatively, we could put most of our content on the page that the Angeles Chapter provides us, which is Drupal-based and possibly not as straightforward to configure. Tan will work on a sample WordPress template and bring it back to the committee for further discussion.
Item 3 – Content of Weekly Email Blast
Jeff J. asked if there is any content we would like to add to the weekly email. The group decided that for now, the existing content is good.
Next Meeting
The next management committee meeting is scheduled for March 20th at 6pm.
Jennifer Dooley, Secretary
