
Laura - Greenheck
SHAPE – Quick review – any updates that can be added?

Reviewed SHAPE document; made appropriate updates.
Discussion about inaccurate membership information – add this to weekly e-mail so members know they should update their contact information on CWSHRM website in preparation for renewals.
Bob and Kristi will audit QuickBooks and the website to compare membership information.
Discussed increasing membership fee for 2016 and making it one rate. Structure should remain the same (pay for the whole year), but suggest new fee of $150 for membership. New annual fee information will be announced in the November newsletter along with benefits to be a member. Motion to approve: Krissy Rodewald;
2 nd : Bob Heyman.
Also suggested some type of “penalty” for no-shows to monthly meetings. Last month we had 15 members who registered but didn’t show up. We discussed putting this in our weekly e-mail (9/30/15) and an article in the October newsletter as to how much it cost the
Chapter for those no-shows to encourage members to be more accountable.
Discussed sponsorships for 2016. Highlight sponsors in newsletters.
Krissy and Linda will work on coming up with a way to help promote the sponsors via weekly e-mails and newsletters; suggest getting their logos to put on Event Brite and other marketing pieces. Perhaps
