[nfbmi-talk] A Request from the Last Board Meeting

[David Robinson]

Christine,

  you almost got it correct.  In fact, you did really well.  The membership 
committee was to meet on Sunday, March 9 , but we may have to change this as 
Mike does not think he will be home yet.  We did have a members at large 
conference call on Monday, Feb. 24, but we did not have much response so I 
will be scheduling it again. We do need board members and leaders to help 
grow and  develope Grand Rapids etc.  Finally, the meeting on March 9 was to 
develpe a plan to conduct a leadership training or retreat for summer of 
2014 and then work on plans to a training weekend for 2015.  This one would 
cover training for parents, students and other things.  The leadership 
retreat was for the purpose of helping board members and chapter leadders to 
build chapters, and affiliate programs and to be a good leader.

Dave
