I agree with all of Jeff S's recommendations.
I would also like to nominate Gail Kelsey as Secretary! I think this role would be natural for her. I could also see her being a perfect fit for VP of Membership. |

I let Vicki and DeShawn know that I would up for the either the Secretary or Treasurer role if no one else wants them! But I know I am very new to the club, so of course I am fine with older members taking the leadership roles as well...
Thanks!

I'm happy to continue my role as Public Relations and the role of treasurer is a two year term of which John is going into his second year, so we don't need to worry about that, either.
The crucial roles to fill are President and Vice-President of Education. VPE is often a stepping stone to President so DeShawn would be a natural nomination for President.

Tips for a Great First Impression
|
|
You never get a second chance to make a first impression! "Within the first thee seconds of a new encounter, you are evaluated...even if it is just a glance." First impressions set the tone for how the relationship will follow.
Here are some simple tips for a great first impression:
• Be on time
• Avoid BIG or uncommon words
• Be yourself, be at ease
• Be open and confident
- stand tall, smile, make eye contact, greet with a firm handshake
• Present yourself appropriately
- physical appearance is typically the first clue someone has to go on, so dress appropriately
to the situation
• Small talk goes a long way
- find something you have in common with the other person
• Be positive
• Be courteous and attentive
- use good manners and be polite, and most importantly be a good listener |
