HSI Board Action Items

Below is a running list of outstanding action items harvested from board and committee meeting minutes and from email discussions. Any board member can feel free to take on a task under the Not Assigned designation - if you do so, please edit this page by moving it under your name below. Otherwise please check what is listed under ALL Board Members and under your name specifically. Please remove items that you have completed and inform of your progress at the next board meeting.


  • Not Assigned

    • One (1) volunteer needed to take charge of arrangements of the whole 2020 AGM online video meeting (via Google Meet?). This may require research so as to be able to recommend the best platform

    • One (1) volunteer needed to join the 2020 AGM Nomination Committee (Chair: Nizar Ali) to solicit all existing board members and recruit new nominees as required...


  • ALL Board Members

    • Share the 2020-21 membership application with anyone you think may be interested and recruit, recruit, RECRUIT!!!! Note: The list of members we are building via the Membership Drive is what will be shared with AGLC in future to prove we have enough members to run a casino whenever we submit a casino license application. (Not everyone who is on the membership list has to or may want to work a casino - but we have to have at least 40 members to submit our application to AGLC. At the time of recruiting volunteers for a casino, they can come from outside of our membership list if necessary.)
