Upcoming
Focus
|
Goals for
the next two years where discussed. More service people
need to be involved at the board level to keep the chapter
aware of service organization changes and needs. The International
has a goal of more mentoring for new leaders in nursing
and there was much discussion on how, who, and when our
chapter could be more active in this area. There are many
good resources on the Internet about mentoring and Tim
has some information on our temporary site at this time.
|
Finances
|
An independent
audit is required by fall of this year. The records have
been obtained and several large checks have been deposited
bringing our check balance to $6867 as of July 10th. A
two-year budget will be developed over the next several
meetings. |
Recruitment/Retention
|
Ideas for
keeping members active and recruiting new members ran
the gambit from: personally calling members and asking
them to participate and become members on the board; get
E mail addresses; hand out more information at the induction
regarding chapter needs and programs; have a representative
for each class who can talk it up and inform students
of activities and meetings; use class time to promote
chapter. |
Newsletter
|
Over the next
two years the newsletter will continue to go out in hard
copy. Members will be canvassed about getting it via E-mail.
Tim will post it on the Web site with the help of BJ who
will continue to be responsible for the mailing. |
