'''Leadership Circle Representative:'''&nbsp;[[Alyx_HoraceAlyx Horace|Alyx Horace]]

'''Solution Overview:'''&nbsp;Hosting a UIF Regional Meet-Up is a great way to attract attention from students, fellows, and the community, all while showcasing the initiatives that Tech is working towards in I&E. Additionally, having a themed regional meetup is a great way to spark ideas and solutions to some of the problems we are facing in todays worldsociety.Bringing together a group of bright minds with similar interests in drive will undoubtedly yield noteworthy results. === <span style="font-size:large;">Tactic #1: Expanding Upon our Theme</span><br/> === '''Description:''' Having an intriguing, creative, and fun theme is of notable importance in every area of a meet-up. Themes not only help attract attendees, or gain sponsorships and partnerships, they most importantly guide the creative, idea-generating process. While TTU is still in the beginning stages of planning, the chosen theme is “Regional Problems and Ingenious Solutions.” We live in a unique climate and culture of which many standard solutions to community problems aren’t applicable. Not only would Tech gain from a weekend of solution generation, but our community, and attending UIF’s from nearby areas would take home tangible pieces of knowledge and experience. <span style="font-size:small;">'''Milestones:&nbsp;'''</span> <span style="font-size:small;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-848850fa-d3a6-2506-6137-a408e22965e2"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">February 2016</span></span></span><ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><li><span style="font-size:small;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-848850fa-d3a6-2506-6137-a408e22965e2"><span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Meet with Faculty Sponsor to run by theme ideas.</span></span></span></li><li><span style="font-size:small;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-848850fa-d3a6-2506-6137-a408e22965e2"><span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Reach out to Lubbock Economic Development Association (LEDA), who work tirelessly looking for solutions to community problems.</span></span></span><ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><li><span style="font-size:small;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-848850fa-d3a6-2506-6137-a408e22965e2"><span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Gauge their interest in the event and possible outcomes.</span></span></span></li><li><span style="font-size:small;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-848850fa-d3a6-2506-6137-a408e22965e2"><span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Seek partnership with LEDA.</span></span></span></li></ul></li></ul> === <span style="font-size:large;">Tactic #2: Planning--Events, Invites, & Budgets</span> === <span style="font-size:small;">'''Description:'''&nbsp;The second phase of the meet-up is essentially extensive research.
