FCC Podcasts & Recored Meetings
FCC Podcast #1
We are trying a new method to disseminate information to the clubs. We have recorded our first ever podcast. This way you can listen to this at your convenience. You can also send this out to your student leadership, alumni leadership or just about anyone. I cover various topics including:
  • Purpose of the FCC
  • Conference Affiliation
  • Macro Schedule
  • My Crystal Ball Prediction
I will be coming out with another one in a couple of weeks with a more detailed vision for the FCC and some various tracks to get there. Any feedback is welcomed.
FCC Podcast #2
This is a longer episode where we get into the potential future of the conference. There is lots of information in here to help put things in context for now and the future. I hope we are able to discuss more of these topics at the Summit/AGM.
