Saturday Afternoon Meetings
Saturday Afternoon Meetings
by Dennis Arter
We had some good meetings Saturday afternoon. It was like a mini-conference for Division and Section leaders and those desiring more information about the mysteries of Headquarters, Divisions, and Sections. And the price was right: free (including lunch).
We had talks about the ASQ Business Planning (which I wrote about earlier), Division Management, Section Management, Group teleconference calls, Certifications and refresher training, Elections, Newsletters, Public relations and media, Membership building, SharePoint, Web site, Member surveys, Symposiums, Webinars, Leadership training, and Succession planning.
Like a conference, the topics were arranged in nine tracks. Each track had four one-hour sessions. Of course, one could hop around from session to session. We had both member leaders and headquarters staff making the presentations. Because of the focused topics and smaller group sizes, we had lots of Q&A and discussions.
I think it was a good experience for all. If you are planning to attend next year's WorldCon in Houston, you might want to come a day or two earlier and take advantage of these wonderful information opportunities.
