[ChapterAdmin] Chapter Administrator's Meeting in Philly

[j.paige at comcast.net]

Tuesday afternoon, 3:00 – 5:00 pm, works for me.
I’m game for the survey.
5 Issues:
  - Diversity in chapter membership
  - Mentoring young planners
  - Lobbying the state legislature
  - Coalitions with other professions (e.g., ASLA)
  - Invitations to sit on Committees or Boards

Greetings, Folks,

Molly Wirick from the PA Chapter has graciously got the go ahead for our group to use the Host Committee hospitality suite for our meeting, if we would like.  She needs to know when we would like to meet.  From my initial survey it seems as if Tuesday 17 April works best, but ending by 5:30 probably, as some will be going to the Philly's game.  I suggest late afternoon.  Does this work with everyone's schedule who is going to attend national?  Maybe 3:00 to 5:00?  

Dick Lillie from the TX chapter suggested that we concentrate the discussion on a few critical issues, rather than simply conversing informally.  To that end, would those who plan to attend send me (well, the whole list serve, I guess, now that we have it!) a list of the 5 most pressing issues facing your Chapter?  We can refine the conversation a bit this way.

In addition, it would be very beneficial to me, and I assume others as well, if we know a bit more about each chapter.  I'd also suggest   that everyone prepare a quick and dirty summary of their chapters size, activities, budget, etc.  In fact, I will work up a short survey; you guys game?  I'll send that out under separate cover, but first we should ascertain whether the Tuesday afternoon time slot works for the critical mass of conference attendees.  let me know.

Thanks,
