Meeting notes from Al Valente, President, 5/21/2014

Education Moment:
George M gave a talk on the importance of following up with all of our visitors.

Committee Reports:

VP Committee Report:
Need to make an effort to use BNICT.com for referrals, 1 to 1's, and TYFCB

Secretary / Treasurer Report:

Visitor Hosts Report:

We had 22 companies attend our Visitors Day. So far, 1 application in hand. 3 attendees today indicated they would submit applications.

There are 3 other Visitors Day attendees that did not attend today but expressed strong interest.


Growth Coordination Report:
Last year our Visitors Day was on May 1. I believe we had 10 visitors (some were fillers like the chamber staff members), 2 conversions (Kathy Green, Michelle Hallamore).

We had 22 members during Visitors Day 2013. But by August we were at 30 members. So, it shows you that regularly inviting people to our meetings are a great way to continue to build up our chapter.

Keep the foot on the accelerator!


Speaker Presentation:
Will Morrissey spoke this week on his background in the boating industry and now life insurance. We had a crash course in funeral trusts.

Insurance is a highly necessary for everyone, especially those who may have dependents or inching up there in age. You don’t have to die to utilize Will’s services. Spread the word for Will.

Positive Quote:

Steven Covey is arguably one of the greatest peak performance gurus of all time. One of his many tenants is to “sharpen the saw”, take time out for examine and improve your processes, to learn new ways to do old things. 

We talked about MSP coming up, if it’s the money that’s holding you back …
