NCLB

Discussion of why the chapter was added to the NCLB list. Understand that training hours in 2022 may have been a driver. Need clarity on how this scored and how to get them all in 2023. Will add this to the agenda for next month to discuss with Mark Adams and Arni Lundale.

Charter Membership outreach

Discussion about how to reach out to Charter / Spectrum members. Our emails are being rejected and we are not reaching them. Victor will reach out some of his contacts to help with this.

Constant Contact Emails

·       Should we look at a text message option?

The board liked the idea of using text messages, but we need to look at Constant Contact integration options and costs.
