EnAct meeting minutes, 9/18

Hi all-
Here is what were discussed at the meeting yesterday.

Intro of EnAct - because we are using different format and welcoming freshmen, we had brief intro to sub-groups present at the meeting.
Mission of EnAct - serving as umbrella organization, where sub-groups works on their projects. EnAct meeting will bring those sub-groups together and provide resources and info necessary for successful achievement of the project. Differing from Green Round Table, because this will include administration and faculties as well as all the students interested.
