Regarding the New England section meeting in Cincinnati in March: 

I hope to see many of you in Cincinnati 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 Kennedy Center,
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.
