4 Facility Forum Programs It was noted that a few of the forums have had associate members in attendance. We need to make sure the invite for the forums is going to FM professionals only. Guests Attending at No Cost A lengthy discussion was held regarding if we should comp guests attending for the first time so they can experience IFMA. The Membership Committee was charged with reviewing this program and report back to the Board with a recommendation. Chapter Dues Rate Jerry DiCola raised the discussion of members who are unemployed and are receiving a reduced dues rate but not a reduced rate to attend chapter meetings. He proposed that the Chapter stay with the $50 dues rate for the unemployed but allow them to attend educational programs at no cost. They would have to pay, however, to attend special events/networking events. The Volunteer Liaison would oversee this program. A motion was made to keep the rate for retirees, students and the unemployed at the current Dues rate however allow them to attend educational programs at no cost. Motion passed unanimously. Communications 02-7 Drew Bishop stated that he is still looking for people to serve on his committee as he is challenged with keeping up with the various todos. Jerry encouraged Drew to reach out to Jen Bentley for assistance. Professional Development 02-8 Calendar of Events Committee is looking at possible tour sites and topics for 2015 programs. 32 registered for the February event. Goal is to get over 50. Fowler DiCola Bishop/Radtke Swiencki Ongoing Career Services Linda Murdix announced she will be presenting at Facility Fusion. A meeting was held regarding the Mentor/Mentee program. Kristine O Hollearn Murdix/O Hollearn 4

5 reviewed a report distributed at the meeting that addressed two program ideas: Informal LinkedIn; Formal Mentor Program. LinkedIn: They requested support for approving members asking to join the LinkedIn group as it should be exclusive for members only. A discussion followed about the value of a LinkedIn page (keeping it current, monitoring any inappropriate discussions, etc.) who is going to keep the page active? Mentor Program: A form was proposed to post on the website that invites members to serve as a Mentor. Then as members request a mentor, the committee would assign someone to them. A request was made to put this form as a Quick Link on the left side of the site (vs. under the Career Services tab). Committee meets next week again; all input/feedback was requested by then. Sponsorship Golf Outing Deb Breclaw thanked Derek Rusch for his work in developing the golf outing sponsorship packet. Plan is to go to last year s sponsors first and give them a first right of refusal. Goal is to double the number of sponsors this year and the number of golfers. Silent auction plans are also developing and research is being conducted as to whether or not to offer any consignment items. Suggestion was made to have Almost Home Kids promote the outing to their contacts and to also confirm that they will have volunteers that day to help with the event. Request made for the Admin office to send out a Save the Date with the sponsorship information attached once last year s sponsors have all been contacted. Rusch/Satterly Hospitality New Member Event Scheduled for April 8 th and will be at the National Showroom. They are donating the space as well as the food and beverages. Ice breaker activities are being explored. A Save the Date announcement will be sent to Admin to out. Miller/Benson 5

6 Annual Meeting Sponsorship will need to be secured. They are brainstorming how they can create a different environment for the event since it is in the same space as our programs.
