Colorado Wyoming Montana Division - IAAP

Ah, so many meetings, so few conference rooms. Does one person reserve the conference rooms, or do your employees handle their own reservations? If you have someone who is responsible for scheduling the conf. rooms, then I would recommend that he or she handle this. If the meeting has passed the 5 minute mark, then knock on the door, enter quietly, and make eye contact ONLY with the meeting's chairman (don't look around the room to see who's there, or wave to your friend!). Polietly tell the chairman that the next group has assembled, and they are waiting to begin. Tell him or her that you are trying to find another conference room - this is important. Nine times our of ten, this is all you need to do to get people to vacate. And, some of the participants will even thank you! The same recommendation applies to whomever is chairing the next group's meeting.

Synopsis:

1. Get a Pure Vision and a Clear Plan
In this life you tend to get what you see
What’s your block of marble?

2. Control what you can Control
All you can control is you….and that’s plenty
What’s important about me to control?
Talk about where you’re going to others….words bring dreams to life

3. Align yourself Internally and Externally
Stay focused on the plan and not the scoreboard
How to bring your best talent and attitude to your game

Hi Kyle,

I am the membership chair of an IAAP chapter in Chicago and we have some of the same challenges. Last year at our IMPACT meeting we had more members than guests attend; we were able to recruit the individuals that attended.

We have looked at how we are advertising the events and possibly considering an greater online presence with the use of a few social media networks like Twitter, Facebook, and Linkedin. Also, we will be examining the subject matter from last year's meetings and taking a poll amongst our members to see what they are most interested in. You also may want to look at days and times your programs are offered. It could be that people are unavailable at the times you host your events.

As a matter of fact, this weekend our chapter officers will be meeting to discuss a strategic plan for this year in order to have a clearer vision.

Please keep us updated on your chapter's progress, I would love to "pick your brain."

Yes, of course you can join!

I hope the entire CWM Division joins the site. It's got a lot to offer!
