Lengthy chapter meetings can be a turnoff. The Leadership Development Committee agenda template in the Leading Efficient Chapter Meetings resource helps keep the meeting on track to allow more time for engaging programs and sisterly interactions. Other top tips include: 1) complete committee work outside of chapter meetings; 2) notify the president when you have a report; and 3) make the report “Short, Sweet and to the Point!” See the spring issue of The P.E.O. Record for more details. https://online.flippingbook.com/view/543918496/16/
