It manages their membership rosters, meeting scheduling and RSVPs, invoicing and dues collection. 00:43:14 Michelle Runge: So while we donโ€™t provide direct support with chapter events usually, we provide the tools to do so. 00:43:19 Michele Champion: HG programs at CA Assn of Marriage and Family Therapists: mchampion@camft.org 00:43:23 Christa Morris-Stone: Discounts on official awards, training and certification of event judges and secretaries, special rule allowances for โ€œaffiliateโ€ competitions 00:43:31 Julia Ruane: NAFSA's chapters (regions) offer workshops at their conferences which are HQ-developed.

That does sound like a fun event ;-D 00:53:22 Sarah at Billhighway: You're not asking them why they don't come. You're asking them what they DO come to. What's a good event they've been to in the last year? What's your pain point in the next year? 00:54:22 Sarah at Billhighway: 1 Question Poll: Do you have a success story in your job to share? (Yes/No) - if yes, may we contact you for more info? 01:00:32 Sarah at Billhighway: Here's how to do journey mapping: https://www.billhighway.co/journey-mapping-part-1-improve-the-membership-experience/ 01:00:49 Sarah at Billhighway: It's about working WITH members, not working FOR members 01:08:51 Sue Wagner: Dog walking, knotted blankets for pets or kids 01:08:54 Adriana Gomez: Golf Tournaments 01:09:04 Dean D'Ambrosi: Casino Night 01:09:05 Dan Marcue: Beer and Banter 01:09:07 Langford Wiggins: "surprise" donut visits to firms. 01:09:21 Daniel Sanchez: build a bike 01:09:24 Laura Jiggens: Feed my Starving Children 01:09:24 Wesley Carr: Neighborhood clean-ups; presentations about the profession to high schools 01:09:27 Liz Icenogle: Construction Camp for Girls - Intro High School girls to industry 01:09:43 Michele Champion: NAMI Walk 01:09:46 Jill Murphy: STEM camps 01:09:51 Pamela Harris: Our office is in a very lucrative spot in downtown Milwuakee; we try to participate in local events (Run of the Bastille, for instance) and happy hours at local bars/restaurants. 01:09:52 Sarah at Billhighway: Love all of these connection ideas! 01:09:53 Leanne Schimming: Does anyone have an example policy for Chapters doing community projects? We are a 503c6 and have steered away from these types of projects. 01:10:02 Eva Przygodzki: Fire safety demos at local schools 01:11:19 Sarah at Billhighway: Meaningful ice breakers & group exercises: https://eventgarde.com/blog/entry/the-last-relationship-building-activity-youll-ever-need 01:16:31 Pamela Harris: no policy...don"t know why 01:16:46 Emily Jennings: I don't know of any of our chapters who have a policy on that, but it's a great idea. They have a hard time on deciding what they should support. 01:16:53 Pamela Harris: have another meeting to get to now 01:17:33 Angie Claypool: Our policy is specifically around chapters collaborating with other orgs. We only allow them to collaborate with non profits. This would include any community organizations that they would support. 01:17:37 Sarah at Billhighway: Thanks for joining, Pamela! 01:17:39 Michelle Runge: Our chapter put on monthly educational events and divide members into groups to plan the programmatic element. 01:17:44 Jill Murphy: We don't have a policy but we suggest our chapters participate in a community service event that supports or mission and/or industry. 01:17:45 Chris Goyette: we put together a chapter meeting catalog and it has been really effective 01:18:00 Liz Icenogle: We do not have a policy - Chapters are independent entities and manage their content. Interesting idea to do a policy. Some choices we've seen have been unintentionally alienating - e.g., A church-based event 01:18:06 Jill Murphy: @Chris can you share your catalog? 01:18:48 Chris Goyette: sure jill just send me your email 01:19:18 Liz Icenogle: Chris - would love that info, too: licenogle@csinet.org 01:19:35 Margaret Helmus: We have interdivisional grants that we offer. This is to incentivize collaboration between our 54 Divisions 01:19:39 Lisa Kroll: Chris - would love to see it too, lkroll@shm.org 01:19:40 Amy Hemphill: I am interested too @Chris ahemphill@asam.org 01:19:51 Emily Jennings: Our Virginia chapters partner together to do a leadership retreat for members. Our Washington Metro chapter also invite surrounding chapters to participate. 01:19:56 Nate Bell: Chris - I would love to see it too! nate.bell@aapc.com 01:19:59 Michelle Morse: Me too, Chris, if you don't mind including me: mmorse@hbanet.org 01:20:00 Karina Urena: at a previous association, we used to have a program where the chapter had to only find the venue and food, and HQ would send a speaker there and run registration. It helped a lot of small chapters that was struggling. 01:20:07 Rebecca Wright: @chris - would appreciate if you could share rwright@siteglobal.com 01:20:08 Jill Murphy: Chris please send to: jmurphy@same.org Thanks! 01:20:12 Crystal Edwards: @chris, I am interested in the catalog, as well. cedwards@apic.org.

Thank you, Peggy! 01:23:27 Ann Dorough: Hmm, we CRPs could use a meditation group.... 01:23:41 Sarah at Billhighway: For sure, Ann! 01:23:49 Sarah at Billhighway: Thanks for joining, Amy! 01:24:18 Katie Kuhn: We do something similar to what Karina has outlined. We provide coverage for one speaker (from National) to attend and present at each chapter meeting of their choice The presenter will provide an organization update along with a presentation topic of the chapters choice. Coverage includes the travel, housing and food for the speaker. 01:24:30 Sarah Berke: Have to hop off but this has been great! Thank you! 01:24:56 Sarah at Billhighway: Thank you everyone who joined and has to hop off for another meeting! We'll be sharing the recording and slide deck :-) 01:26:08 Lauren Sharrock: Would love to know more about that question of the week platform!
