Chris's meeting with Terry update

Update from my meeting with Terry: She’ll let us know by the end of today whether Ken, the CSP Social Programs Director, will permit us to finalize a deal with the Africa Channel as a sponsor. She asks that we acknowledge AC’s support in our publicity by stating “event support by” instead of “event sponsored by”. She gives her permission, so we’re just waiting for Ken. Since AC’s typed proposal didn’t contain many concrete details (she had questions about what they wanted to do with the banner, for instance) she’d like us to keep updating her on things AC wants to do at the event.

For issues regarding further sponsorship (in case we want to pursue a deal asking for more money from AC): Terry would like us to always keep her “in the loop” and continue to receive her permission to enter into any further deals we might make with AC. We have to get her permission before finalizing any deal.

Also, she generally warned me about making deals we can’t keep or aren’t good for us (i.e. we get a lot less out of a deal than AC). Student groups have had a problem with this in the past. She said, however, that there shouldn’t be any problems since it’s not like we’re asking Budweiser to sponsor us.
