CTCN Meetings Planned for 2014 * Gray, italicized, subject to change. ** Tentative – reschedule if workshop in May
SWOT Analysis • Strength – Good team work & network to recruit speakers. • Weakness – Recruiting potential new members for the leadership team. • Opportunity – Host joint events with other groups. • Threat – Staying relevant as local technical employment conditions improve and CTCN membership ages.
Chapter Plans / Issues • Mix topics at monthly meetings to cover professional development, training, and technical topics. • Co-host workshop (if another chapter is interested). • Recruit younger members via workshop focus and speaker topic choices. • Fill Communications Manager opening. • Improve return rate for first time attendees.
