By Michelle Lizak, CMP

The chapter recently finished up the Needs Assessment survey for the '09-'10 year. The chapter had 73 respondents fill out this survey. The feedback is extremely important to the Board of Directors when putting together their goals, project maps and action plans for the coming year.

The Board of Directors is currently looking for "a few good members" to serve on a Focus Group. This Focus Group will meet and review the results from the Needs Assessment and provide recommendations to the Board on areas that need improvement or tweaking. If you are interested in serving on the Focus Group, please contact Michelle Lizak at michelle.a.lizak@gmail.com.

As incentive for filling out the survey, the Board offered one complimentary registration to a monthly educational program in '09-'10 (up to $35 value) and one complimentary registration for the 2009 Professional Education Conference (up to $185 value).

The winners from the needs assessment drawing were:

Complimentary '09-'10 Monthly Educational Program registration

Pamela Gabriel, CMP, CTC - Las Vegas Meetings by Harrah's Entertainment

Complimentary 2009 Professional Education Conference registration

Michael Sigler, CMP - eight paws creative

The winners' names were drawn during the March program at the Downtown

Marriott Kansas City. Both the winners were notified via e-mail of their prize.
