Activism:
- Praise for men who either did tons of solo activism or accomplished a larger goal such as stenciling or a banner drop.
- Shame for those who didn't accomplish their once a week duty of sticker placement.

Workout Report
- This is completely ran by Kyle MO he takes over this entire part of the meeting.
- Kyle MO is our fitness coordinator, he has given each man a tailored workout plan they have to follow every week. In these meetings he asks them if they have been fulfilling their duty and if they would like to tweak the workout.
- Usually goes on about why it's important to be fit and healthy, he will call out men who are not following the routine in front of everybody. It's highly effective IMO.

Large Event
- If we have a planned large event I will always bring it up before moving forward since guys like to drop out the longer a meeting takes. December 4th is the current large event but we have few details currently. Medium sized events like the September 11th Springfield, MO joint network action will be talked about and also the late September / early October Iowa joint action. (You'll be getting invited to that one.)


Next weeks plan for STL and Kansas City
- Since we're dealing with two large cities that are far apart I have goals for two different groups of men.
- I've given Mark MO sub-lead of all Kansas City activism but he has a lot to learn still.
- We plan all of our banner drops, stenciling actions, and general coordination between one another.


Major Issues
- This isn't every week but if we have anyone breaking a rule or an issue that needs to be stomped out immediately I'll always talk about it before the end of the meeting so it can stay fresh in our minds. One issue we had was with Telegram and using it for a large march that could have lead to a leak, men didn't know the risks associated with this. Other issues we've had are men talking bad about one another, inaction, ect.


Comments, Questions, Concerns
- Just like in a NNM meeting I follow the Thomas approach when dealing with the things above. This is simply an open forum where we can discuss whatever and it has made a world of difference. Many ideas have been brought up, issues that weren't previously mentioned, ect. It's a great thing to allow everyone to speak after sitting through my voice for 45 minutes.


Meeting Length:
I try and keep the meetings under 45 minutes but they have gone on for over an hour. At times it's necessary when we are having turmoil that needs to be addressed. We still have men who don't show up every single week for whatever reason but they don't get the invite or the ability to plan our actions. It's a feedback loop where those who show up influence the Missouri Network giving themselves a position within it and the ability to change it. Frederick IL

As each man enters the meeting room (since I'll always try and be 10 minutes early) I'll welcome them and ask how they're doing. Just a sign of respect that I acknowledge they took the time to show up. Those that didn't show will have a chance for a meeting recap on mumble for a couple days afterwards, I call them out in our regional chat if they didn't show (unless they have an actual excuse). I'm pretty hard on the membership we have but I believe this has retained all but two men and instills confidence in those who go above and beyond. The men who are the at the top have been given positions from their hardwork.
These are the men who have been awarded positions:
Kyle MO Fitness Director
Randolph IL Secondary Lead / Scribe
Mark MO Sub Lead of Western MO / KS
Christopher MO Scout and Photographer
