j) Libby made a point to discuss the last workshop we had the first weekend in May. Counting two people who came out to do presentation, we had only 10 people show up. Bad turn out but amazing workshop. We really need help in figuring out how to get people to show up to workshops. Please go back to your groups and try to find out what we can do to get people out and beef up attendance. We need suggestions on how to get more people in attendance.
(1) Caroline suggested that maybe getting other districts involved would help improve attendance. General discussion ensued about announcing workshops, putting out flyers, etc. Most GSR’s in attendance said they do this in all of their meetings. Left subject that we should all go to groups and ask them if they have feedback as a district on sharing information and getting more attendance at workshops.
k) Plan on being here for SAGSC for a while in July because we will be discussing money and will have Rhonda’s delegate report.
