More Chapter Connectivity
We had 15 current chapters as well as a representative from a potential new chapter join us in San Diego for the in-person Chapters meeting. National committee chairs shared their plans for the year and the Chapters were able to give feedback and break out into groups to brainstorm ideas for their upcoming year. The Chapters sat by region, which resulted in a lot of positive feedback and potential collaboration.
Due to this we plan to implement hosting regional calls twice a year in addition to the two in-person meetings to continue the dialogue so that Chapters are able to connect with each other for ideas and support.
