Last week's notes:

• Core documents flyer - Andres is finalizing and will email draft of flyer to group for review
  • Not yet received - to follow up with Andres
• Elevator Speeches (Andres & Abby update) - Not yet complete. Abby will take a look and create final drafts, time permitting.
• Reviewed communications calendar - no updates
• Jim will take open questions on communications needs for upcoming events to leadership meeting
• Reviewed newly organized communications home page and requested centralization of materials, particularly presentations.  
  • Shannon to email Jim, Joe T., Jeremy and Andres asking for presentations to be emailed to her so she can load them to wiki.
• ADAPT - some discussion on communications support. Link to their communications resources page and vice versa. Wait for ADAPT to approach us regarding their needs as they arise.

• not yet complete. R. Andres Ferreyra (Unlicensed) continuing to work on it and will bring a draft to our next meeting. Jeremy wants documentation about core document attributes, structure, etc. Ben contributed to the document - Andres to make final adjustments and send for review.
• Newsletter - contribute article on core documents and how they tie in with ADAPT and everything happening within Precision Ag council for next AgGateway newsletter - about 2 weeks (2/16/16) to get to Susan
  
  • Ask Susan about reusing for other media outlets
• Big data conference went well - possible new SPADE participant
• Board meeting - push to be more active in social media space - Brandon is on the team (4 or 5 people managing social media accounts) for general AgGateway social media efforts - best to go through this group to put content out on social media
  • Communications team should provide content about SPADE to this team. Jodi Costa is on AgGateway communications team and also social media team. We will invite Susan Ruland to join our next Communications meeting to talk about the process for providing content for social media about SPADE.
  • SEO - There may be a budget in place for this but not specific line item for SEO or other digital media costs. Ask Susan on our next call about search terms, etc.
• Social@aggateway.org is an email address where the social media team receives input - questions can be sent to them.
• Shannon Haringx (Unlicensed) to invite Susan to the next meeting to discuss all of these items.
• Elevator Speeches - Abby could not join today - touch base next meeting on status
• No response yet from leadership team request to help centralize communications content.
• Jeremy W Wilson to send Shannon his presentation from the Big Data meeting to put on the wiki.
• Jeremy and Mike are proposing Communication team becomes Precision Ag Council team rather than just SPADE at the next Precision Ag Council next Thursday. Team is in agreement this is an acceptable move. Jeremy W Wilson to report back regarding next steps at our next meeting. Request to have representation on the team from each working group.
• Reviewed communications calendar and no upcoming needs
  • Andres will be at AETC meeting with ASABE next week. No materials are needed.
• Discussion on internal AgGateway communications about SPADE - we are doing alright. The newsletter article is the best vehicle to get the message out. Probably not much more to do that can be communicated at a high level appropriate for this audience.

Unapproved minutes of previous meetings are approved.

•  Complete

 Recurring meeting schedule has been set.
