meeting in <u1:City><u1:place>Cincinnati</u1:place></u1:City> in March</span></font></b></strong>:
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>I hope to see many of you in <u1:City><u1:place>Cincinnati</u1:place></u1:City>
at our next meeting and I would like you to bring ideas and thoughts. I
have been the chair for many years now and have not seen our members be very
active. I have supported and often organized items such
as: REPA Job Expo, tours of facilities, workshops, involvement in the
regional <u1:place><u1:PlaceName>Kennedy</u1:PlaceName> <u1:PlaceType>Center</u1:PlaceType></u1:place>,
social events and so on. It is always the same handful of people, about 5
of you, who show up and/or help out. We rarely attract new or young people
into this organization. Our section has not changed or grown
significantly over the past few years and I am at a loss to figure
out how to get more people involved and excited about our
section. The last workshop that Bill Beautyman proposed only
received one response in interest. So, I want to know, what should
we be doing that you are willing to be an active participant in creating?
Or......are we OK with being members that simply don't do much? To be
honest, I have become tired and apathetic myself. Without the
support and enthusiasm from the members it feels pointless to me to continue
creating opportunities and I am beginning to consider what will happen to
this group if I should choose to resign from this position.
With that in mind, I will be running our meeting very differently in March --
you won't be disappointed. Let's work together and come up with a new
strategic plan. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
