Area Membership Meeting

Today was the final area membership meeting of the 2010-2011 year. The membership chair, who will be mine as well, has done an excellent job getting the message out to members. There have been some issues, however. The year is almost over and we are still training. There have been some complaints about yet another requirement on their free time. There have been complaints about the costs. I understand, but I don't know that I agree in total. I mean yes, they had to pop for breakfast, lunch or dinner, and yes they could have been doing something else, but the fellowship was great. Isn't that worth a couple bucks? Still, this next year membership will go back to a half day event, coupled with the TRF Seminar. But depending on attendance by membership chairs, it may still go on the road - as may TRF.

I enjoyed attending three of the four meetings, two dinners and one breakfast. And although there were complaints as noted above, there were also a lot of compliments. This is something the training team will review and discuss moving forward.
