I think last night's meeting was incredibly successful. I spent a lot of time preparing, and that really helped. We set a date and time for a bake sale and for an information session, and even started planning who was going to bring what to the bake sale. I passed out fliers for people to put up around campus, and today, I finally put up our fliers on all of the elevators in Schneider.
We're planning an exec meeting soon to get the budget sorted out, and then I'll make sure to stop by the funding board office to have them answer some questions.
So far, my unconventional tactic of going up to people I know and asking them if they want to donate their hair is working surprisingly well. Hopefully people will start signing up soon!

Leadership
My leadership technique has been evolving since the beginning of this project. My intention was to coach someone so that they could take over relatively easily in my absence, but I don't really feel like that's working very well, especially since I'm learning and/or making it up as I go. I prefer planning the meetings and being a leadership figure, while at the same time always consulting with the people in my group who are just as invested in the event's success as I am. I never do anything alone. Together, we can come up with much better ideas and be more successful than I ever could if I just ordered everyone around.
