Cross-Chapter Collaboration Forum by At-Large Chapter
¿Took 2 days to organize a collaboration forum and brought
in 7 local chapters at no cost
¿Short period of time between idea and execution (~30 days)
¿Successful events across different chapters tied in
together to create a larger and more inclusive event
oCohosting provides a way to reach more people and takes the
burden away from one chapter
oAlso decreases competition from geographically close
chapters
¿Problems are getting solved effectively across chapters,
they are now able to progress as a group
¿Provides a forum for effective collaboration and exchange
of information
¿The more assistance you provide to potential YACs, the more
that is given back
¿Idea is to scale what the National Capitol Region is doing
to the International level, creating a YAC network for best
practices

Last-Minute Speaker Cancellations by At-Large Chapter
When a speaker cancels at the last minute, and they are not
expected or able to send a deputy or representative from
their office, the Chapter should have a list of backup
speakers prepared ahead of time to avoid Board members having
to find a last minute replacement. Board members should
network to find local retired general officers with canned
speeches who can serve as backup speakers. A final backup
plan is to hold a free membership meeting.

Retaining Active-Duty Attendance When Events are Held Off-Base by At-Large Chapter
When events become too large to hold on a base, some ideas
on how to retain active duty attendance were brainstormed as
follows:
¿Provide shuttle buses between the event venue and the base
¿Request the speaker to advertise to his employees
¿Ensure the CIO designates the event acceptable to attend,
and designates the venue as the workplace for the day
¿Advertise the event as a professional development event
¿Have a sponsorship program with half the chairs on those
tables free for active military attendees
¿Invite the CIO, CTO etc. to speak and encourage their
employees to attend
¿Create an award for military and civilian government and
present it at chapter events (Middle Georgia Chapter is
already doing this)
¿Extend a discounted rate to retired military in the area
not currently employed by large companies
