In order to efficiently cover many topics, FiCom must insist that some guidelines are in effect to maintain a productive and orderly meeting. You will be welcome and able to participate as a non-member of FiCom under these guidelines:

1.) You plan to attend the majority of the retreat (at least 3 hours)

2.) In an effort to preserve the flow and productivity of the meeting, individuals who are not members of FiCom may only speak during designated sections of the agenda, or at the invitation of one of the meeting facilitators

3.) Meeting minutes will be recorded only by designated members of FiCom. We expect to be dealing with some sensitive issues, so various portions of the meeting may be designated confidential at the discretion of FiCom's officers.

4.) You will excuse yourself from the meeting if you feel you cannot productively participate in a discussion, maintain decorum, or hold confidentiality when requested

5.) Any additional items/actions/policies that FiCom's officers deem necessary to maintain the order, impartiality, intent, confidentiality, and productivity of the meeting.

Items on our agenda for the day include (in no particular order):

- Closed groups/meeting funding - How to use Bylaws and SAF Guidelines within FiCom - Hampshire College P-Cards for Student Groups - Permanent funding obligations

There are more, but this is a sampling of what we plan to talk about.

Dinner will be served.
