January 26, 2024 Meeting

This was a mostly administrative meeting concerning how meetings are to be held for the rest of the semester. As we had recently acquired funding under our provisional status, much of our discussion oriented towards allocating our funds towards potential meetings. As a result, we then focused on creating a plan to create a schedule, recruit new members, and find volunteers to host meetings.
