Note: This will mean that we will need to fill the positions of President, Secretary, Vice President #1 and Treasurer in September 2018.

 

New Membership: OK - we need new members, especially if we want new board members in September. Talk around contacting previous members, reaching out to people and saying “hey, we’re not seeing you anymore at the meetings… we miss you! What would you like to see - because we’d love to see you.” or a more to-the-point version: “membership is currently 13 people, do you want the chapter to continue existing?”

Angela: That it would be a good idea to set 3 key initiatives and focus on them for the year. e.g.: new membership, generating money for the chapter, and having fun.
