format of the monthly meeting is to conduct the regular general meeting followed by a series of
professional development trainings. This also allows potential members to sit in on our general
meetings and participate in the professional developing training. Each meeting is held on a
different date, time and location to meet the needs of our members. This was determined by
surveying members to assess their interests, time and location preferences. Since the Central
Texas Chapter also includes members and locales beyond the Austin city limits, it was imperative
that we make our meetings and training accessible to all. As it specifically relates to recruitment,
we set up our standing display (similar to national’s) and a table displaying the NFBPA/Central
Texas Chapter logo with brochures and staffed by members to meet, greet and recruit new
members.

Care Fest a community clean up and beautification project attracted over 2,100 volunteers who
completed 94 projects. The event planner and organizer was one of our very own chapter’s
Future Focus members. For the fourth year in a row the City of St. Petersburg has won the regional
Care Cup for volunteer participation. Prior to Philip Harris (our Future Focus member) take on this
responsibility. The city had less than 1,000 volunteers and minimum corporate participation.
We are preparing for chapter elections to be held in December 2010. This year one of our Future
Focus members is the chair. This quarter we have focused on engaging corporate partners to
inform them about the organization and develop a relationship to assist them in maximizing their
social responsibility. As always, we encourage members to be proactive at work and seek
opportunities of leadership, i.e. volunteer, serve on committees in a leadership capacity.
