Jay Lee's Email about Tabling

  • Catch: "looking for things to do that aren't phone banking?"
Dorm Captains
  • Dorm Captains have been relatively inactive; we need to add leadership to them (Jamie says Erik would be great, Laura is also amazing, Jeff has experience as dorm captain and is committed as well)
  • New Dorm Captain leadership should help dorm captains to be aggressive!
