                Mentors can invite assignees to Pizza Night for no guest fee.

1 new Designee for 2016 season – Paxton Moore of Wilson Mutual.

Monthly lists for potential contacts are available.

 

5. UW – Oshkosh attend National Convention support & National seminar attendance.

  • Dan Kugler indicated the chapter would not be responsible for costs above the $1000 scholarship. Travel costs were contained by using vehicle transportation. We have budgeted up to $500 for this convention purpose.

  • With Becky Monfre planning to take on the VP role and indication to step up to President down the road. We have budgeted $1000 for that event. Her department budget indicated it would likely pick up higher costs if any.

6.  Follow up:

A visit with Jewelers Scott Murphy, President may be helpful to maintain our strong relationship. Alan will discuss with current manager CPCU’s what interest exists to promote the designation, then plan a joint lunch discussion with Mr. Murphy.

 

7. I-day planning

  • Speaker, location and dates are set.

  • Board to Designee assignments made. See above. Phil to send the “to do list”.

  • Becky to address the menu similar to 2014. One reserved table for Officers/Lt Governor Keynote and assistant, and Regional Governor Vos.

  • Regional Governor Vos is alerted and will attend.

  • Dan Kugler will need to provide the scholarship honoree and a bio. Dan to provide update on UWO and GIS.

  • Phil to update the Program. Recommend to show all remaining meetings, not just Christmas Wrap event.

  • Howard to provide the name tags

  • Howard/Laurie to look into ordering recognition items and lapel pins for designees.

  • We will have Regional Governor Vos include recognition of the President Scholarship granted by The Institutes to three local honorees.

  • No speaker gifts are needed due to public official status.

  • Phil to seek Post Crescent press release with Lisa M’s assistance for future follow through.

  • Placing an ad in the Big I could be considered. Phil has a request into the WI Big I.
