Nonprofit status for Guild

The necessity for the Guild to become a non-profit in order to foster future growth was discussed.

The Guild website

In order to increase the visibility of the Guild website to the major search engines such as Google, there needs to be a lot of traffic activity on the site.  In order to encourage this, all of the meeting minutes will be posted on the site and not emailed.  It would be appreciated if  members would visit the site often. 

Photo shoot

The possibility of having a photo shoot soon so that more members could showcase their work on the website was discussed.

Guild Business Cards

In order to help promote the Guild and the website, Andrea will design business cards for the Guild and make the templates available so that members can print their own.
