Random Thoughts No. 2

These are random thoughts following LOS last weekend & lunch with a past president yesterday:

Awards - we need to acknowledge our newsletter editor for the fine work he's done taking our newsletter from utter disgrace & shambles to the publication it is today.
Awards - we need to be up for as many Region awards as we can. We need to also put ourselves up for an Institute chapter award. We also need to find a nomination for fellow.
Programs - I've got so many ideas, where do I start? The business side - entreprenuership, confrontation management, selling & marketing. The fun side - dining etiquette, picnics, ball games. The industry side - panel discussion on CM's with Owners, Architects, Engineers, CM's.

We need to change our by-laws to create Chapter Advisors - past presidents who serve a number of years in an advisory role.

Past-Prez' idea of sending a letter to membership asking them to come to the August meeting. Make the program worth attending.

Make personal calls to recent active members & officers who have dropped of the earth.

Make the membership committee call each new member each month & ask them to attend & get involve.

Maybe do a "welcome wagon" committee of 3-4 people to go take new members out to lunch & get them active in committees.

Make sure our committees are committees & they meet each month.
