Program Update

Linda, Karen, Sandy  

 

Please see Annual Convention Planning attachments. Vendor packets were distributed for review. Please see Action Items for suggested changes. Exhibit Area Limitations: The Hotel Roanoke has limited space for vendors. Because of that it was decided that we limit the number of vendors to 36-38 on first come, first serve basis. If the vendor allows, exhibits can be placed in the hallway if needed.

Please see attached Program update. Sample Registration packets were distributed for review. Two sessions are vacant. A suggestion was made to have someone talk about Information Security. The Hat's Off Gala was discussed and categories for prizes were discussed. These categories will be added to the packets that are sent to the vendors and members. Board members are asked to help with the introduction of the speakers. A suggestion was made to add a description of the dress attire to the registration packet.

 

 

1. Add room rates

2. Add logo to evaluation form. Karen will send logo to Linda.

3. Add page numbers to all forms

4. Add Hotel city and map to vendor packets

5. Change vendor fee information

6. Notify Marion when Vendor/Registration Packets are mailed.

1. Suggested speakers and contact information should be sent to Margaret by February 6th.

Strategic Plan Update Group 1. The Recruitment Packet has not been completed. Lee will work on a draft form and this will be an Agenda item for the next board meeting.

2. The membership brochure will be updated and brought to the next meeting for review. The Web Site has been updated and promoted in the newsletter.

Nominating Committee Terri Haukstep There are several vacancies on the proposed ballot. Sandy agreed to run for delegate. Send all interested participants names and numbers to Terri
Newsletter Lou Cassman-Ventura The newsletter was reviewed. Lou suggested having the newsletter copied at OfficeMax instead of going to a printer. The board agreed this was a good idea and a cost saver. The next newsletter will be sent to the membership prior to the Annual Meeting in April. Proposed schedules for upcoming Newsletters are July 2004 and November 2004. It was suggested that we have a contest to come up with next year's Annual Meeting Theme and have it promoted in July's Newsletter. Free registration was suggested as a prize.  
Miscellaneous Group 1. Gloria will attend Winter Team Talks in Nashville.

2. Scholarship information needs to be given to the schools so an award can be given this year.

Marion will enlist Kathryn Bresnan's help in getting this accomplished.
