You know who I’m talking about…
Every chapter has at least one or two members who seem to go out of their way to get in your way - and make you nuts!
It doesn’t have to be that way…
What are you doing next Tuesday, July 15th from 8:00 - 8:50 PM ET?
Consider being my [...]

It’s 8:00 AM, Tuesday, July 8th. The iPhone 3G is not available until July 11th.
Loyal fans are already lined up and will be camping out in New York City for THREE MORE DAYS to get one of the first phones available.
It’s hot.
They had to take time off work.
They’ll be living on the street.
They think it’s worth it.

Might make your team communication easier too.
I’m on the board of a Michigan organization with members spread across the state.

So far, we are pretty [...]

Or just ignoring your chapter’s past?
The emails and comments I’ve gotten about not crediting Joni Mitchell for “Big Yellow Taxi” made me think of a recent conversation with a chapter’s past president.

Goodbye old officers.
Hello new team.
A new leader enthusiastically shared the very cool event the chapter would do in [...]
