RECOMMENDATIONS:
List and describe here how we can improve your area or
anything else in the Chapter. Include ideas two years in the
future.
One of the goals for the chapter would be to have the entire
board of directors to communicate via the Philadelphia
Bulletin Board System. This will require to apply the board
with a personal computer, modem and communication software
for this to materialize.
A chapter office needs to be secure to allow committees to
meet at the same designated place for committee meetings, to
allow the communication to conduct the membership mailings at
the office and to serve as the distribution center for all
mail to distribute to the board members.
The cluster concept needs to be reinforce and assist in the
development of committee chairs when necessary. I feel a lot
of this is left on the shoulders on the president. I believe
all officers carries more responsibility to the membership
than the committee chairs. Each officer was voted into a
office and by running for office they have committed to do a
job.
One area that needs improvement is to promote unity among the
officers and committee chairs. Each committee should not
compete against one another but help build each other because
we are striving for the same goals.
