2010 NAWBO – NePa Goals:
1. Create an email Newsletter that goes out monthly with Upcoming Events/Member Spotlight etc. – possibly with paid sponsor ads.
2. Create a Membership Committee to welcome new members over the first 90 days; to call all new members before meetings and to introduce them at the meetings.
a. Theoretically we should all act as NAWBO Ambassadors consistently.
b. Amy Tobin will supply 15 “Ask me about NAWBO” badges that can be worn voluntarily to all networking events.
