=== Update on meeting with Councillor Knack regarding the City's Touch the Water Project - Keith & Matt (5 min) ===
=== Action Item Follow Up ===
*  
====  Board Introductions for Bike Edmonton Website - Sarah (1 min) ====
 
* Only five Board members have completed their Board Intro. I do not want to put this off any longer, so I will post the completed intros and just include names for the members who have not completed their intros.
=== - Sarah (1 min) ===
===== Action Items =====
*  
* Sarah to work on posting completed bios to the website


=== New Secretary ===
* Andi Eng was appointed to the Board at the February 2, 2021 meeting and she was appointed as our new Secretary.
* Sarah needs to orient Andi to the Secretary position
==== Action Items ====
==== Action Items ====
*  
* Sarah and Andi to schedule a virtual meeting to complete the orientation


=== Update on the Touch the Water Project - Keith & Matt (5 min) ===
* Keith's update via [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1p85TGNn38ypyQQTE8EDpIh5_OBxBjNxk/view?usp=sharing email]
* What is our final position?
* Touch the Water is not currently a campaign issue
** Chances of any recovered funds moving to bike infrastructure are minimal
** Keith points out that if it does come up we will show ourselves to care about cost and value engineering
** If this were a bicycle infrastructure project specifically then it would be in our interest to issue a statement


== New Business ==
* How will we disseminate our position to the public/our membership?
 
** General opinion voiced was that we let sleeping dogs lie

=== Engaging our Membership - Sarah (10 mins) ===
  |first=  
* Can we engage our membership separately from our advocacy?
  |second=  
* Some ideas include spotlighting our social media followers by engaging them in tagging their posts with some specific hashtag and then selecting posts to feature (e.g. via a quote tweet). We don't have to come up with the content, so would not be too onerous for us to complete
  |yes=  
* Post Board member profiles one at a time as a weekly or monthly highlight?
  |no=
* Can we update our Facebook page? (Andi has extensive social media comms experience so she might have some suggestions). Can we create a new Facebook page and link them?
  |abstain=
- '''Meeting Discussion''' - 
  |result=  
:* Chris stated clearly that we do indeed need to reach out apart from advocacy. In fact, we need to have that relationship with them before we should ever reach out to them for advocacy
}}
:* Molly will connect with Andi to discuss spring outreach for fundraising and community work
:* Facebook will not let us change our name since we have more than 5,000 likes. It is possible to merge duplicate pages but it can only move in one direction. We will lose all our followers from our current page. The calculation so far is that losing followers and content has not been worth the move
:* Searching Bike Edmonton in Google of Facebook brings us to the correct page
:* Roy suggested a quarterly or semi-annual newsletter
:* We will stick with the current Facebook page
:* Social media mining is a discussion still to happen
