Good Morning Chapter Leaders!
I'm off to Westchester, NY to speak at a leadership event.
Any tips on what's fun to do in Westchester?
It's my first time there.
*** Special shout out to AAUW:
Congrats on having more than 100 leaders in the Playground!
(I expect to start hearing success stories about growing your AAUW branches!)
Which association will be the next to have 100 leaders in the Playground?
Could it be yours?
Lots of exciting things always going on in the Playground.
Yours in a Surplus of Happy, Active Volunteers!

Lose Weight This Thursday
The weight of the world, that is.
If you are like many volunteers who are carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders to make sure their chapter is a success, we need to talk.
It doesn't have to be this way.
You can get the work done - without killing yourself.
Too often, leaders have workloads no one person should do - and yet some still try to do it all.
Most don't.
By creating bite-sized opportunities to help, you lighten your load, get the work done and strengthen your chapter by involving others.
Join Cynthia D'Amour this Thursday to learn how to look at your projects with new eyes - and figure out what work others can do.
The first step to involving others is to chop your projects up.
It's easier than you think.

End the Orientation Torture
Okay, you've paid your dues.
Let's see if you can survive one of the hardest things about our chapter...
(Duh, duh, duh, dah...in a threatening tone)
Are you strong enough to survive our chapter orientation???
I once attended a five-hour orientation for a chapter. Once was enough.
I was surprised members ever came back.
It was painful - and BORING!
Today's member doesn't have the time or patience for extreme orientations.
Join Cynthia D'Amour to learn how to create a culture of orientation that's cool, pain-free - and isn't just for newbies.
