Hi all, I wanted to add a couple things to what was discussed at the chapter chair meeting. I was having connection issues at the beginning, so it was a little hard for me to keep up with the conversation. I apologize for not adding anything to that discussion. For Rocky Mountain, we share access to the official email. We have co-chairs but it ends up being one of us that checks the email, which is fine. I think it would be a little confusing if two people were in there attempting to respond or send emails. We're also fine with how we currently communicate, which is through email. For the discussion of people being in the guild but not in chapters, It occurred to me after the meeting that another reason is maybe they're living far outside what appears to be the chapter hub. I know for us, we do have a handful of people that are in the RM region but not in the chapter and they are well outside Colorado or Utah. Maybe they feel there's nothing going on in their area with the chapter. The immediate solution that comes to mind is virtual events. I also have plans to revamp our website's landing page into something that will let people know why chapter membership would benefit them.
