Membership Update
We’d like to thank our members for their recruiting efforts. Thus far, they’ve helped us welcome four members. Our fiscal year end is June 30, 2022, so it’s not too late for your referrals! Since the arrival of the pandemic in early 2020, it’s been difficult to recruit new members. Very few prospective members have been attending our chapter events, which is largely due to the lower in-person attendance at chapter meetings.
We’ll end fiscal year 2021-2022 with our first member appreciation social event on Thursday, June 16th. It will be held at Pullman’s in Appleton, from 4:00 – 7:00 PM. Please register by June 9th to join us. This social event will feature hors d’oeuvres, cocktails, prizes, music, and memorable conversations. Guests are welcome and encouraged (including colleagues, spouses, significant others and friends).
