| 1 | The Iowa Chapter
has an outstanding website (one of the best of the member chapters of the
Society). Suggestion: maybe we could include pictures of the other officers,
directors, and committee chairs. |
|---|
| 1 | While you have the
officers and directors of our chapter on the website, it would be nice to
have an on-line version of our chapter's membership directory. That would
save you from having to print it each November. There have been instances
where I needed an email address but couldn't locate my book. I think an
on-line suggestion box would be great too. Some people have great ideas,
they just don't want to be an officer in order to implement them! |
