RECOMMENDATIONS:

List and describe here how we can improve your area or anything else in the Chapter. Include ideas two years in the future.

One of the goals for the chapter would be to have the entire board of directors to communicate via the Philadelphia Bulletin Board System. This will require to apply the board with a personal computer, modem and communication software for this to materialize.

A chapter office needs to be secure to allow committees to meet at the same designated place for committee meetings, to allow the communication to conduct the membership mailings at the office and to serve as the distribution center for all mail to distribute to the board members.

The cluster concept needs to be reinforce and assist in the development of committee chairs when necessary. I feel a lot of this is left on the shoulders on the president. I believe all officers carries more responsibility to the membership than the committee chairs. Each officer was voted into a office and by running for office they have committed to do a job.

One area that needs improvement is to promote unity among the officers and committee chairs. Each committee should not compete against one another but help build each other because we are striving for the same goals.
