a. Matching funds

b. Campaign Manual-Recruiting manual is essentially done, but would like examples of candidates that are not from California. Brent is taking this on. Looking for someone to do the cover. Everything to Susan by June 8, ready for edit by June 12, final review by 14th, ready to go to print by 18th. Campaign manuals printed in Milwaukee. We discussed finding a union print shop in Milwaukee.

c. Convention Campaign school Matt Gonzalez, Brenda Konkel,  hoping for Jason West and Natalie Johnson-Lee. How to develop a campaign message and what would you advise candidates not to do, what worked well in your campaign and what didn't. Campaign school should not be open to media because it is necessary to talk about mistakes Greens have made. Should send that message to media committee. Marnie Glickman campaign techniques, FEC requirements for Treasurers Field organizing with Brenda Konkel People of color outreach speaker (Christina Olague) needs help with covering costs ($250) Brent is trying to get enough videographers to catch concurrent sessions. Jeff says 2 should be enough, though three would be fine.
