Old Business:

  • Strategic Plan: This is an ongoing process and we need to develop and finalize the Mission Statement for our chapter. Scott will develop some specific language for the next Board meeting. Also, it was discussed and decided that initially the board should concentrate on two of our main goals. These are Increased Membership and Quality Programs. Once the Mission Statement is developed we will then work on Action Plans and implement strategies to accomplish these goals.
