draft copy will be presented at the Oct. 14th meeting.

The computer

expressed about the fliers being mailed out a bit late
and whether people are receiving them. Sign ups have been
slow. |

Tau International will be holding a Professional Development

February
Dinner Meeting
|
Discussion
around moving this to a new spot, possibly on the North
side of town with cross cultural theme.
|
Participation
|
We have 201
active members and 211 inactive members. How do we get
more people involved in the Chapter's activities? Suggestions
focused on making personal contact with new members and
others and inviting them to meetings and events. In order
to keep the Chapter active we must increase participation.
|
Career Profiles
|
It was suggested
that we do local profiles of nurses who have interesting
and varying careers and career paths. These could be posted
on our WEB site and possibly used as mentors. This might
create some interest in the local community in nursing
and in mentoring. |
Board Changes
|
Rae indicated
that Christine Souza might resign her position on the
board. It was suggested that we use the STT guidelines
for identifying scholarship recipients. Consider one for
a BSN student and one for a MSN student. Jan Gollick and
Rae Rehn will co-chair the research committee; a big Thank
you. Positions still open include President Elect; Graduate
Representative; Finance Committee Chair. |
Next Meeting
|
Will be held
immediately after the Workshop on Oct. 14th. |
Respectfully submitted: Bobbi Lunceford, Recording Secretary
