We briefly discussed upcoming September 28th VA-SHRM S.W. District Workshop “Strategic & Succession Planning for Chapter Boards”, which will be at Wytheville. We also discussed ideas to promote our chapter in hopes of attracting more members and retaining those that are currently a member, but who are not attending. Some suggestions from recent email survey were to have meeting using video conferencing or conference calls for those that cannot physically attend the meetings. It was also suggested that Dutch treat meeting at a local restaurant at lunch might draw more members. We also discussed idea of having a spring event because members felt the fall was busy and we would not have enough time to plan. President, Nathan Hayes informed group that he would be attending the upcoming State SHRM Conference in Roanoke.
