TRANSCRIPT
Re-affiliation Launch:A town hall call for
NAMI State OrganizationLeaders
Presenter: Susan Gaffney
October 3,2013
Brief history on Standards
Adoption of Standards
Re-Chartering of State Organizations
Re-Affiliation process
Continuous Improvement
“It has brought more
cohesiveness among the board
and the affiliates. A chartering
committee was established
involving board and affiliate
members. The chartering process
has engaged board and affiliate
members that had not been
engaged and has brought much
interaction and excitement to
NAMI Kentucky.”
“Our big lesson so far is that we
have to communicate,
communicate, communicate. When
we can harness our energy in one
direction, we're unstoppable. We
have to show commitment to the
process and an unflagging belief
that NAMI - throughout Illinois - will
come through this better than
ever.”
