Regionals 2009

Greetings from the lobby of the Hyatt Morristown in New Jersey !!! As we are close to ending the first day of Regionals, it is a good time to reflect on all the things going on. As we reach the end of today's workshops, I must say I am impressed with the extensive amount of participation in workshops. 
So many topics and so many opportunities for development and planning.  There are tons of great opportunities here for fellowship connections as well.

As of the end of this semester, we have 24 chapters of 31 who have submitted their appropriate fall paperwork. We have some extension efforts that we are working on.

As we get closer to Atlanta 2010, one of the things you as a student of Region 1 will be doing is seeking candidates to run for Region 1 Director. The volunteers in the region asked me to do a blurb about what my typical time commitments are as region director. I am going to include that below.

Now this list does not include the 2 or so hours of dealing with email every day. Phone calls are usually Section Chairs, other region volunteers, and National Board of Director work.

Oct 21-Phone calls to various section chairs 3 hours.

Oct 22 - Phone Calls 1 hour

Oct 23-25 Conclave 36 hours 

Oct 26 Phone calls and paperwork resulting from Conclave

Oct 27 Chapter meeting 2 hours

Oct 29 Dinner Meeting

Oct 30 Phone calls 2-3 hours

November was a blurr as far as time commitments. There was the Section 101/102 Conference early in Novemeber, so that was easily 24 hours of travel and work, as well as several conference calls and one on one phone meetings.

December was full of calls back and forth leading up to this fabulous region conference.  

If you were not aware, the students of New Jersey decided to split Section 99 into two sections, Section 101 (North Jersey)
and Section 102 (South Jersey). The website will soon reflect which schools are in which sections and what the boundries are.

I know each of our chapters have some truly excellent programs planned for the upcoming year. Please take the time
to look around the region to see who has programs that might be good fits for your chapter.

 

We are continuing to survey and ask questions...  Please click on the link below to answer the question.

Please take a moment to answer this question if you have not yet done so.

Name (Optional)
Which membership category do you think your chapter needs the most help retaining?

I am looking forward to hearing about your successes and challenges. Can't wait to see you at the fall conferences

Yours in Service!
