SGMP Joint Leadership Meeting By Claudette Ferris, CPS/CAP, CGMP, National Board Director

The President’s 5280 Views by Mary Williams, CGMP

Greetings! I am looking forward to a great 2011 as your Chapter President. I am excited about the new mentoring program that the Membership Committee has put into place. The program is not just for new members but can also be very beneficial for any member who would like to receive more information on the value of being a part of SGMP. The Membership Committee also held an orientation session prior to the Chapter program on January 25, which was well received. I encourage all Chapter members to be a spokesperson for SGMP in recruiting new members and expanding our membership base to include more resources to network with. Please spread the word! The Program Committee has some great programs planned for 2011, and the Fall Education Conference Committee has begun to work on the sessions for the next conference scheduled for October 7-8 in Breckenridge. The National Education Conference registration is open for business, and I hope to see many of our Chapter members there. It is always a great time full of education, networking and fun! I am also looking forward to the Honors and Awards Gala on June 28. Please mark your calendars for this wonderful evening event. Your Chapter Board members are reviewing the results of the member-ship survey and will be working to implement ideas that came from the Chapter members. A Chapter Business Plan is also underway and will be shared with members so be on the lookout for that. In addition, Chapter policies and procedures are being finalized, which will complement the National policy and procedures manual. Both of these will be accessible on the Chapter website once they are finalized. Speaking of the website, monthly program materials are now being posted under the Meetings tab. I think that about sums up my comments for this edition of the newsletter, other than I want you all to know that I appreciate everyone’s support of our Chapter and look forward to a terrific year!

SGMP’s 2011 Joint Leadership Meeting (JLM), was hosted by the Norfolk Waterside Marriott Hotel on January 15-16, 2011. National Board members, Headquarters staff, members of the Gilmer Institute of Learning (GIL), and Chapter leadership, were in attendance. Mary Williams, CGMP, President, and Karen Davis, Second Vice President, represented the Rocky Mountain Chapter. Although I am a member of the Rocky Mountain Chapter, I attended as a National Board member. There were approximately 65 attendees. The opening reception was held at the d’Art Center. Members of the Old Dominion Chapter were invited to attend. On Friday morning, Melody Kebe, CMP, CGMP, SGMP’s National Board President, welcomed everyone and congratulated those Chapters having milestone anniversaries in 2011:

Georgia Peach, National Capitol, San Francisco Bay Area 25 years Buckeye, Texas Lone Star Capital 20 years Crossroads of America 15 years Wild West Oklahoma 10 years Houston Gulf Coast 5 year

SGMP Joint Leadership Meeting ...continued from the front page Charles Sadler, CGMP, CHSP, CHSC, SGMP’s Executive Director & CEO, reviewed highlights of the SGMP National Strategic Plan/Initiatives and also discussed the Chapter Business Plan template. The National Board liaisons facilitated the sessions where Chapter leaders began to draft the start of their own customized Chapter Business plan. Nine strategic areas that leaders were to focus on were: Membership; Volunteer Leadership; Education, Resources and Networking; Financial Stability; Ethics, Governance and Operations; Communication; Visibility and Marketing; Building on Strengths; and Relationships with National. This year’s National Education Conference Charity was unveiled as the Virginia Wounded Warrior Program, in support of veterans who are Virginia residents and/or family members of veterans and service members. Chapters will be collecting donations and having fund-raisers between now and May to support this very worthwhile cause. SGMP’s goal is to raise between $15,000 -$20,000.

Chapter leaders also worked together to create a two-year education program schedule for their respective Chapter. Before adjourning for the day, staff from SGMP Headquarters reviewed the 2011 National Education Conference schedule. All educational sessions will be at the Marriott and pre-conference sessions will be at the Sheraton. General registration opened on January 26, 2011. Go to SGMP’s website, www.sgmp.org and click on the ―Conference‖ link for more information.

February Chapter Meeting By Chele Clark, CGMP On February 22, 2011, the Chapter welcomed Charles Sadler, CGMP, CHSP, CHSC, SGMP’s Executive Director & CEO and Mike Downard, CGMP, SGMP’s Membership & IT Manager. The presentation was on the ―Ten Excel Secrets Every Planner Should Know.‖ Charles started off the presentation with some antidotes about George Washington and an invitation to all the members to come to his hometown of Norfolk, Virginia, for SGMP’s National Education Conference scheduled for June 8-11, 2011. Mike then presented tips and shortcuts in using Microsoft 2007. He also explained some of the differences between version 2003 and 2007. Both presentations were insightful. The meeting was hosted by the Crowne Plaza DIA. During registration and networking, a number of hors d’oeuvres were passed. They consisted of red skinned baby potatoes filled with blue cheese mousse; blackened beef strip loin on a potato blini; Ahi tuna tar-tar on Chinese spoons; and watermelon and black crusted goat cheese skewers. The main meal began with a romaine heart salad with ricotta salad cheese, fruit compote, candied walnuts with red wine vinaigrette; followed by a pan seared beef tenderloin au-poivre and jumbo shrimp scampi tower, served with four cheese, white truffle polenta cake, asparagus and baby carrots. A chocolate mousse cake served with raspberry sauce mint oil and an SGMP chocolate log atop completed the meal.

An average rating for the program, based on the evaluations, was 3.51. A scale of 1-5 is used, with 5 being the highest rating.

January Chapter Meeting By Chele Clark, CGMP Our first meeting of the year, held on January 25, 2011, brought out the pirates at the Hilton Garden Inn Denver Downtown! The pirate was our speaker, Phil Morgan, CMP, CCM. Phil serves on the SGMP’s Gilmer Institute of Learning (GIL) where his responsibilities include CEU approval and certification development. Phil presented ―Uncovering Norfolk’s Meeting Planning Treasures,‖ a 2011 SGMP National Education Conference primer. This was one of the GIL programs that is required by National for Chapter’s to present.

This interactive program exposed attendees to sample CMP/CGMP exam questions and provided information and trivia on Norfolk, Virginia, the host of the 2011 National Education Conference. The program encouraged networking and team building for attendees. As members arrived, they were treated to antipasto and cucumber slices topped with shrimp salad as well as refreshing beverages. Lunch began with a salad and the entrée included stuffed chicken with provolone and red roasted peppers topped with an herb cream sauce served over mascarpone polenta, accompanied by seasonal vegetables. Apple pie with caramel sauce completed the meal. The average rating for the program, based on the evaluations, was 3.80. A scale of 1-5 is used, with 5 being the highest rating.

Industry News

Smart Takeaways By Benton Partin Smartmeetings.com / March 2011

Choosing the right turndown or takeaway gift can be tricky, especially if you want to please all your attendees. For me, that often means gender and age-neutral gifts. That being said, there’s still a lot of flexibility in what I give out at our Smart Events.

I find that food items are always a big hit. At our recent Smart Mart in San Francisco, we gave out Godiva chocolates, and there were none left—a true testament to whether or not attendees like something. In the past, we have used items from the Green Teaist, and other gifts like a treasure chest full of cashews, provided by Torn Ranch. You can never go wrong with wine, unless your attendees are under the age of 21 or something. Spa packages are also successful, again, depending on your audience. If you are primarily hosting male attendees, it might not be the case. But then again, it can be a success with them too.

You can always determine how your attendees might respond to a certain gift based on past events. For example, if your attendees drank twice as much coffee than tea at breakfast, you might get them a coffee-related gift instead of a tea one. You can also do pre-event surveys and things like that to determine what your guests might like.

Our takeaways are provided by sponsors, so that’s also something to keep in mind. If one company won’t provide a takeaway, there’s always another one that will. In the end, your at-tendees will appreciate anything you give them. From my experience, it’s definitely the thought that matters, but with a little research, a creative gesture can really go a long way - in other words, return attendees.
