John Swan: Chapter ideas • Ask one important question every ExCom: • What worked well, what did not? • For your last technical meeting • Helps you to be proactive for next mtgs. • Use Cloud tools for management: • Google Docs or Dropbox for admin files • Eventbrite for registration • Don’t let this be the last thing you do! • Always look for new, energetic volunteers

  7. John Swan: Chapter ideas • Finding speakers: • Your Society’s publications • Conference speakers & keynotes • LinkedIn searches • Your Venue Host: New & Important! • Find a Champion at your host company! • Preferably VP level or SVP • Take out to lunches with your officers • Invite to SVEC Banquet (Feb.)
