"You" can make the Difference
August 2010
Happy August! It is hard to believe that we are already 2 months into the New Council Year. Many of you are taking advantage of summer vacations, family get-togethers, quality time with our children, and R&R around the pool. It is always good to relax and recharge. Please enjoy and be safe! Many of our local associations have started their planning and programs for the new year. As September rolls in, our business meetings will be packed with information, fresh ideas and excitement. Please take time to review your local association renewals. Now is the time to reach out to welcome to our new members, say thanks and welcome back to our renewing members, and reach out and see how we can help those who have not renewed. The deadline for renewing without a lapse will continue to be 8/31 for this year. In 2011 it will change to the end of July. Plan a membership meeting and invite co-workers, friends and business partners to network, and share ideas for the coming year! Enjoy old friends and welcome the new. Their membership will help them and enhance everyone else’s; the reward is an endless circle of benefits. Mini board was a great opportunity to visit with our friends and to gather ideas for our Association. Many of the Council Directors from Region 1 facilitated classes to educate and inspire our local presidents, and upcoming leaders. We learned to Navigate NAIW International website, and how to find our members, documents, bylaws and other marketing material. Have you ever applied for NAIW International Awards? What is your local association doing for fundraising? Where do you fit in the big picture of NAIW? Protocol: What is proper procedure for your guests and leadership? All of this information and more was presented at Mini board. I have attached some of the programs that were shared there this year for those of you who were not able to attend. I have also forwarded this information to the Council Committee chairs so they can assist you in educating our members. Please ask your local committee chairs to connect with their Council counterparts for assistance and guidance. The second monthly Conference call will be September 16th. The topic for discussion is public relations. I would like our president’s and local committee chairs to take a few minutes to drop in on this call to gather information from fellow members and to present ideas that can be shared by all. These calls have proven themselves to be a great tool, so let’s continue to take advantage of it! State Council day is right around the corner (October 22 & 23), so start planning to join old friends and meet some new ones in Lancaster! Yours in fellowship, Pat Patricia Eggles CISR, CPIW, DAE
