  4. Planning for next meeting
    1. There was interest in having the next meeting be a "working group" meeting to set up a Pinterest profile that can be pinned to by multiple people.  The idea is that we (UCAR as a whole) could have one Pinterest profile that multiple programs could feed into in order to build an audience for our (UCAR/members/affiliates/etc.) resources.  Moira will find a time and a space for this meeting in mid-February after all the AMS hullabaloo has calmed down.
