Average score out of 5
We had 23 responses though people only responded to the events they had attended so take the statistics with a pinch of salt 
Drinks event happened, not as successful as could be so new strategy to go through organisational contacts instead of social media to get correct people

16. WIT Community Objectives
Build a Support Network
Professional Development; Share Experiences, Learn and Inspire
Address Diversity Issues
Examples of events in each category:
Support network: drinks, lunches, self development workshops, WIT Talks
Professional development: Self development workshop, WIT Talks
Diversity issues: WIT Talks, Conference Code of Conduct, Gender Equality Plan, Film Screenings
Your responses fell into 3 broad categories

17. How can we keep WIT alive?
We know the turnover at CERN is high – how can we create and build a community that continues to grow?

18. Steering Committee
WIT is a grassroots community, ideas should always be welcome from every single member (!), but having a SC to help realise those ideas will ensure longevity.
Duties
Participate in quarterly and ad hoc SC meetings
Organize yearly WIT Community Review
Support logistics and preparation for a share of WIT Events
Grow the network within and beyond CERN through events, posters, online presence
Suggest a replacement when you have to leave 

19. Practical meaning of “duties”
Set up the event calendar
Divide work and responsibilities among ourselves
Take care of event logistics and preparations (rooms, dates, material)
Always have someone attending the lunch
Pick up ideas, brainstorm, reach out
Make a difference
Grow your network
Mention that it wasn’t just us, we’ve had a lot of help from other people.

20. If anyone objects, please raise your hand.

Can we accept all of these persons collectively as the 2017 steering committee?
If anyone objects, please raise your hand.
Maybe even do the objections with eyes closed

How can we link with other women’s groups at CERN?
Are we google-able?
Are our events happening at the right times and in the right places to include everybody?

26. WIT Mission Statement
Now we have a better idea of what we are about, should we create a mission statement?
