4 Website Redesign The website redesign project is now being addressed with Jen s assistance as a co-chair. Colors and pictures will be updated. A copy of layout #6 presented by STAR Chapter was shared with the Board. Drew highlighted how many of the social media links and other items will be more visible on the front page as well as mobile devices. The cost to make the changes will be $399. Goal is to have the upgrades completed by July 1 st (in time for a rollout at the Annual Meeting). Since the amount was part of the committee s budget, no motion was required to move forward. Bishop/Daly A discussion pursued about committees sending s and using the IFMA logo as part of their signature. The consensus was that (a) all Board members who use the IFMA name and/or brand in their s should use it consistently and (b) the Admin office should check with IFMA Headquarters about the proper use of the logo. Kevin Corrigan recommended that only the chair and co-chair of the committee send s to the membership. After discussion, it was agreed that the sponsorship committee should have an address. The Communications Committee will assist with this request (e.g., create [email protected]). All concurred. Professional Development 04-8 Calendar of Events Jerry DiCola reported that two more programs were booked for 2015; two more remain to be scheduled. Business Card of Upcoming Events Chris Glatz shared an example of a business card that listed upcoming event dates. All thought it a great idea for IFMA to use going forward. Suggestion made to use the backside with a sponsor s logo to cover the cost. Goals Update: To have all 2015 programs planned by June 2014 on schedule. All other goals on task too. Career Services Linda said the March 20 th program went very well. Goals Update: Expanding the mentor/mentee program continues. The committee is still pushing for members to complete their mentor forms including their expertise area (and/or Bishop/Daly Bishop/Daly Swiencki Murdix/O Hollearn Murdix/O Hollearn Ongoing 4

5 industry area too). Sponsorship Golf Outing Sponsorship commitments continue to be received. Current commitments are $2,200 with $1,500 pending; goal is to raise $5,000.

Membership Committee plans to personally contact all the new members since July One more eblast scheduled to go out as well. Annual Meeting The Annual Meeting will be at Petterino s on July 17 th.

6 Mark complimented everyone for being committed to their goals as we close in on the year-end None. Program Attendance There has been a 17% increase in attendance compared to a year ago today; goal was to increase by 15%. The other goal was to have 50% of professional members in attendance at the programs (professionals vs. associate members not including guests). The attendance has been nearly 60% professional members vs. associate members thus exceeding goal. It was noted that increased attendance may be a result of (a) the cost to attend is included in the member fee; and (b) having a consistent location (Petterino s) for every program. It was recommended that these statistics continue to be shared with the Board and mention them on an upcoming postcard mailing. Jerry Dicola also reported on a few other items: DePaul discussions continue Northern Illinois inquired if the chapter would be interested in doing a family pig roast/picnic. Nothing finalized but it was shared with them that we would certainly entertain the idea. Event would be held in the September/October timeframe. New Business A motion to adjourn the meeting was made by Liz Vonesh and a second from Linda Murdix was received. Meeting adjourned at 12:45 p.m. DiCola Ongoing Respectfully submitted, Chris Christine Glatz Chicago IFMA Chapter Administrator s Office 6
