2. What would you want? • You want people to describe the meeting as: • Fun/Cool/Awesome/Inspiring/Worthwhile/ Informative • You want people to say this about the meeting: • I am going to take this home and apply it to life. • This was deep. • Wow! I want to bring this information to my club and members. • Man, that was definitely eye opening. • I can’t wait to go to another event!

3. Traditional Meetings • Questions: • Are you living up to your Past Officers or surpassing them? More importantly, how can you take his/her legacy to a new level (higher carat)? • How were the DCMs in the past? • What went well? • What might be areas to change or adjust? • What else can benefit the members you serve?

4. BEE Original • Stop trying to live up to past officers! It is your time to sparkle. • BEE yourself! • Take risks. • It is not stupid. • Make it memorable. • Leave your own legacy. ADD YOUR OWN FLAVOR TO SPICE THINGS UP.

7. Events Make every meeting purposeful: Service + DCM worthwhile Ask yourself • Is there space to accommodate a meeting? • Will the area allow you to project? • Will members be interested? • Are there alternative options? • Is it mandatory for everyone?

8. Publicity • The Do’s: • Do use social networks (Facebook, Tumblr, etc.) to publicize events (not plan events). • Do set the event to private and add the regular attendees. • Do let your guests invite potential new members. • The Don’ts: • Don’t conduct business (event planning, sales) on social networks! • Don’t make the event available to the public.

9. Setting an Example at Meetings • More Do’s: • Appreciate those who come early • Be early • Come prepared • Start on time (members will get the message!) • More Don’ts: • Do not end so late either • Do not interrupt someone while they are speaking

10. Food • Everyone loves food! • Host fundraisers with businesses • Sweets are a nice snack • Try healthy (Veggie Chips) • Pizza is too common • You have money in your budget for snacks! Use it to your advantage…but don’t buy full meals.

11. Community • Explore your community • Holding DCMs at a routine place has its consequences • Use DCMs as a time to capture everyone’s interest • Introduce Mom and Pop shops • Close to good restaurants • Make every DCM a DCM to attend-FELLOWSHIP is important

12. Audience • Remember the advisors • Analyze your audience • personalities • general background • age • Don’t be a turn off • Appropriate jokes and comments • Language is powerful; use wisely !

13. Accomplish • Establish goals for the progress of your DCMs • Create an enjoyable setting • Publish invitations • Start with mini a goal for yourself and attendees • Work to accomplish that benchmark goal • Reach the goal and leave with a tingly feeling that you did something
