Team Charter BUS 2200

Online Team Ran-B

Damaris Mingura, Parker Schmidt, Patrick McPhillips
Meeting held virtually via Facetime 2200 June 22, 2022

Objective: Plan and execute a campaign to encourage the general public to register
for a library card at their local branch. This is to be emphasized during school
breaks to reach the greatest number of people possible: young, old; all races and
ethnicities; any creed or sect. The ultimate goal is to cast as wide a net as possible
to bring people together at their local libraries in order to encourage literacy,
support marginalized communities, and build community.

Success Measures:
-Our work leaves us fulfilled and ready to read.
-Did local libraries see increased foot traffic, checkouts, and registrations?
-Were immigrant communities well represented among new library registrations?
-Circulation of a “Library Satisfaction Survey” to share data with local branches
that receives a >25% response rate.

Core Values:
-The dignity of hard work.
-The ability to maintain focus on the task at hand.
-Trusting in team members to do their part.
-Conducting ourselves with integrity, both in academia and the world.

Group Norms:
