This week's topics:
Mabel Printing - executive summary
Financial Summary:
The Mabel printer is running at higher than normal rates in the past several month and compared to same period prior year. Our projected vs actual costs is running at a negative variance driven by higher than expected paper usage. MBAA pays over $500/month to operate and supply the overworked Mabel printer with paper and toner? At this rate, the funds earmarked by prior MBA Class gift and our current MBAA budget will quickly be drained. Higher paper expected paper use is driven by high utilization, repeat printing jobs, and other non-MBA related activities.
Minto Framework
Statement: The Mabel Printer is a great resource for the MBAA members.
Problem/Complication: The Mabel Printer is being over utilized and consuming more paper, expenses are running higher than expected, and paper is being wasted.
Question: How can all of us curb the printing appetite?
Answer: Print only what you really need for class assignments. Don't repeat print jobs (the printer takes awhile to load the print jobs). Don't print all of your case study readings. Print only 50 pages per month per student. Print two or three slides per page for PPT docs.

Thank you Steff (MBAA Winter Party)
For those who did not have a chance to attend this last weekend's winter party sponsored by the MBAA, it was a great turnout. Planned and executed by Steffenie Birkeland Evans, The Pub Crawl - 4 pubs, 4 hours, in a 4 block radius was a great success. Using Steff's PM skills, the VIPs badges were a big hit as a fool proof way to get where everyone needed to go. Great beer, good food, and fun crowd!!! A big THANK YOU for Steffenie for planning this party.
