[Ohio-talk] state board meeting and membership

[Carol Akers]

Yes Colleen,
It IS a time for revitalization between conventions. Also a time for ideas, 
motivation, networking, socializing, etc.  I just wish more people would take it 
seriously.  It is definitely a more intimate time for discussion and openness of 
expressing the needs, opinions and solutions to problems we face.  A time to 
bring the "brainstorming" results to the table.  See you there.

 
Carol

Hi Carol,
I think those of us who responded to the comments about Attendance at Board 
Meetings are right.
I never could understand why people didn't come to Board Meetings.
They are a Learning Experience.
Of course they help us connect with each other and learn what is going on.
Since they are usually more intimate they give us an opportunity to interact in 
a different way.
I would like to see us have more people at events sponsored by other chapters, 
Divi_ms, and maybe even at another State Convention.
It is a great way to reenergize and learn from others.
See you all on the 18th.

Colleen Roth
