Chapter Attendance Problems

Hello, I had an opportunity to discuss attendance with some local alumni. They stated that they did not or were at least hesitant to sign up for the event because it looked as if no one would be there. They told me that they had checked the "who's coming" list before signing up. I was left with the conclusion that no one wants to be one of the first few to sign up; rather, they want to be just one of the many who would be attending.

Has anyone else had this discussion with anyone in their region? If so, does anyone think we may be able to put up some events without listing the attendees?

Thanks! - Josh Ramos from Orlando

Membership Brochures

In follow up to the conference call on Tuesday, we have a new membership brochure available. You can view the brochure here: Side 1: http://bit.ly/8Gr4oH Side 2: http://bit.ly/7TgamE. I asked if it would be useful if we sent a small amount of brochures to each chapter leader for you to have available to use. By the way, we will have these available at chapter events. Please leave a comment to this post or e-mail me at dsb3@buffalo.edu if you would like me to send you brochures. We'll send you 50 to get started and you can always get in touch with us if you need more.
