<description><![CDATA[<p>- Financial stability: Continue efforts to balance our budget, increasing funding, sponsorship, etc. and reducing costs for meetings and journal. The goal should be a (nearly) balanced budget. As this year has shown, we cannot rely on being able to get $300K every year from our stocks to make up for the shortcomings.</p><p>- Motivate membership: Continue efforts such as podcasts, vodcasts, open seminars, and other outreach to offer some attractive value for the membership, esp. while we are all not traveling, esp. to bring ECIs and SITs into the community and keep them interested.</p><p>- Inclusion of underrepresented groups, including women and minorities. Hopefully we will get some good ideas on how during the meeting.</p><p>- Provide a virtual component of our annual meetings in the future, too, to allow members that can't travel to the meeting to attend.</p><p>- Increase visibility and membership of Physics, Biology and Epidemiology&nbsp;</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>My 3-5 most important issues for the future of RRS (notably for annual meeting organisation).</p> <p>Ensure racial inclusion – positively address any action items generated from Racial Justice session at RRS2020 – ensure that there are no barriers to inclusion, equity and progression within RRS – requires racial profiling?<br></p><p>Clearer guidelines to role/expectation of Prog Comm members &amp;/or Session Chairs &amp; Co-Chairs - develop a written agreement.</p><p>Clearer strategy for funding of non-RRS invited speakers (inc plenaries) – generate a base-line expectation (but w/ flexibility).</p><p>Develop strategies and activities to ensure better Officer / Councillor contact/engagement with our junior members (inc 1<sup>st</sup> timers) @ the annual meeting &amp; an understanding of the problems faced (pre-submit questions for Panel Discussion @ AnnMtg?). Develop Rich B’s idea for 2020 for 2021 (shake hands &amp; kiss babies).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>(better music @ the final night event - Henning to DJ - silent disco/multi channel - select your own music)</p>]]></description>
