Education, Reminders and 2020 State Meeting and Installation

Education, Reminders and 2020 State Meeting and Installation
By Eileen Oldroyd

Both our 2019 & 2020 District Vice Presidents and Governors have been hard at work organizing and facilitating the 2020 workshops. We’ve received positive feedback regarding the content but we would like to know if you need additional training in any particular area, like budgeting, effective marketing strategies, articulating the value of membership, etc. Because of your feedback, we will have our first Zoom training on December 18th at 8:00AM. The topic will be the Care and Feeding of Strategic Partners. Many networks struggle with securing Strategic Partners as a revenue source and/or delivering value & benefits. Kama Burton, 2020 Chair of Strategic Partner and Sponsorship will be doing the one hour training with dynamic information to help our networks tackle this issue. Anyone can attend, keep an eye out for the registration link.
Don’t forget to report your 2020 Governing Boards to National. The deadline was November 1st but there is still time to submit the names of your team and their positions, or if you had changes. These submissions are very important since National gives the 2020 teams access to your membership roster and the back end of your website the first week in January. Link to report your 2020 Governing Board: https://form.jotform.us/92334711479158
3rd Quarter Network reports are also due to National. These reports are mandatory but very simple to complete. After filling in your position, contact information, network name and type of event, you only have to answer four simple questions. Easy peasy! Link for 3rd Quarter Report:

Registration is almost open for our Winter Meeting, February 3-4, 2020 in Anaheim! We will have a welcome reception on February 2 from 6:00-8:00 at the Anaheim Marriott. If weather permits, the reception will be under the stars on their gorgeous outdoor patio. We are excited to bring you a full schedule of network best practices, inspirational speakers, leadership development and business builders. We will even have a few special guests, too. Bring as many of your team as your budget permits to set your network up for success for the rest of the year.  Don’t forget the 2020 Installation will be February 4th at 6:00pm – 11:00pm. It will be an evening of enchantment, dinner and dancing!

Elections..By Eileen Oldroyd, 2019 President-Elect

June 27, 2019 by Fiona Theseira Leave a Comment

How to Run a Successful Election in 2019…

Always one for innovation, President Fiona set a goal to implement electronic elections at our Spring meeting in Sacramento. After hours of research, conference calls and test elections, it was time to take the leap of faith and hope that all of that hard work pay off. We had a few growing pains during the process but we did it! Once again, California is setting the example for the rest of the nation to follow. 

Now it’s your turn to conduct your elections. You don’t need to have electric voting, but you do need to follow policy and procedures. Be sure to follow the 90, 60, 10, 7 Rule

90 Days Out: Governing Board appoints a Candidate Review Team (this should be complete by now)

60 Days Out: Team begins to solicit applications for positions 

30 Days Out: Applications due. Eligibility confirmed

10 Days Out: President notifies membership of the candidates 

7 Days Out: Forms due back if running from the floor

Election Day!

Don’t forget reminders to your members to keep them up to date of the deadlines. Even though you are only electing a President Elect and Treasurer, encourage all of your members to apply for all governing board positions so you know who is interested in leadership. If you’re lucky, you may have more than one candidate running for the same position. Sign of a healthy network!

Click here for ALL the forms you will need to conduct timely and informative elections (please be sure to scroll all the way down). 

Don’t forget, the deadline to finish your elections is August 15th

Once all positions have been filled, be sure to fill out Network Officer Reporting Jotform that is due by November 1st: https://form.jotform.com/82106311293144

Fall Leadership Summit

You spoke: we listened! A few weeks ago, a survey was sent out to our members regarding The Fall Leadership Summit in Los Angeles September 23-24th. We inquired as to what kind of programs would bring value, help you with your business and support local network excellence. Because of your feedback, the State Leadership Team is putting together a robust agenda for two days of powerful speakers and breakout sessions.  

Relay races are won in the handing off of the baton. Meaning, the transitions. We need your help to ensure your networks have the proper tools and training to hit the ground running. The expectation is for the networks to bring their current President and the incoming 2020 teams so do smart fundraising between now and September. 

Bring your teams, plenty of business cards and an open mind. Leaders truly are made here. 

Ready, set, go!
