Project focusing for Spring 2011

Waterloo Banking Project is continuing in the Spring 2011 term but will not be holding regular general staff meetings.

Over the past year we held regular staff meetings presenting different aspects of our plans and research and involving interested students in discussions to generate ideas and consider the challenges we face. We also worked to recruit staff and involve them in research, marketing and communications, and management.

Our staff and associate directors provided us with great work and feedback, but this term we have decided to streamline our operations. Our team of directors, therefore, is focusing on a few key priorities for this term: further exploring and developing our plans, improving our communications including our website, and preparing to negotiate with potential partners.

We will have at least one staff meeting this term to present new developments with the project. Any interested students from Wilfrid Laurier University or University of Waterloo will be welcome to attend. Announcement of meetings will go out through our various media.
