 Greetings fellow PMI members!

 

The Tallahassee Chapter Board members have continued to meet often since the last update on 10/17/02, there is great progress to report….

 

By-Laws - PMI headquarters has reviewed the Chapter’s By-Laws and after minor adjustments the By-Laws have been accepted in record time.

Incorporation – The Tallahassee Chapter is officially a non-profit corporation in the State of Florida and has a FEIN from the IRS, therefore a bank account has been established to receive sponsorship funding; there is also a post office box address for the corporation.  

Ready to receive sponsorship – The four levels of sponsorship:  Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum.  Each tier will receive respective benefits in terms of space on the web site, recognition, and special acknowledgements.  (If your company will be a sponsor, please let me know.)

Web site – This should help us all!  The web host service has been selected and the site is under construction.  Be on the lookout for a preview announcement in the next few days.  The logo design has been finalized by the Board under the provisions of the PMI guidelines 

Kick-Off  - Date is still not final, but we are expecting it to be held around 11/14-11/20, it is based on speaker confirmation in conjunction with the facility.  For the kick-off we are planning to offer it in a dinner environment, 6:00 to 9:00 weeknight.  There will be a charge for dinner, one price for members and a surcharge price for non-members (guests will be welcomed).  How to pay?  Expect it to be via web site for electronic reservations and payment.  

 

Kindly keep your calendars open for the kick-off, the date should be announced by next Tuesday, 11/5/02.  One of our constraints has been to have the kick-off before the holidays.

 

What is next?
