EASA Volunteers Receive Valuable TrainingAt 2014 Chapter Leadership Forum In Boston

Continued on Page 4

At right: Region 3 Director Kevin Krupp makes a motion during a model business meeting at the beginning of the program.

Below: Ken Gralow, Chairman of the Board for 2013-2014, provides a recap of the parliamentary procedures used during the model business meeting.

Bottom right: Board members and 33 chapter leaders attended the training session in Boston.

The 2014 Chapter Leadership Forum held June 28 in Boston, just prior to the EASA Convention, provided chapter leaders with training to help them better serve their respective chapters. The half-day session was attended by 33 chapter officers, the EASA Board of Directors and several members of EASA’s staff.

Chapter leaders received useful information on their volun-teer responsibilities and duties.

During a session on offering great meetings and generating attendance, attendees shared ideas on what worked well – and what didn’t – at past events.

Following are some of the ideas discussed:• Planning is extremely important for a successful meeting.

Remember the 5Ps: Proper Planning Prevents Poor Perfor-mance. You can never do too much planning.

• Showing a video after lunch is not the best time – attendees tend to fall asleep.

• Meetings are better attended if you make frequent an-nouncements in advance. Sending announcements too late is a recipe for poor attendance.

EASA Volunteers Receive Valuable Training At 2014 Chapter Leadership Forum

• One chapter had increased attendance by offering cash door prizes.

• A combined meeting with another chapter or chapters can make an event more successful.

• Location is very important. Members prefer exciting, scenic and comfortable venues.

• Meetings held at the same location year after year can be useful. Some prefer to attend a meeting held where they are familiar with the facilities.

• Holding a meeting at the same time every year helps mem-bers plan ahead.
