Invigorating Your Club!
Presenter: Ann Marie West, Area 6 Director
Is your club working together to its fullest potential? Do you look forward to meetings? When prospective members walk in the door is the atomosphere welcoming or is there palpable tension? Does everyone sit by the same people at every meeting and are there little cliques? Is your meeting dragging on and on without learning anything?
Each club has their own unique culture. Before your club is in crisis and members leave for “little things” that add up over time, figure out what works for your club and what doesn’t any longer. Learn how to assess your club culture and strategies to improve the flow of your meetings.
