ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:

I would like to become a member of the chapter board regarding marketing to grow the chapter

Great programs generally. Well run chapter.

First meeting.

Survey only applies to certain attendees.

First meeting I've attended

Your improvements to the website are outstanding! I miss everyone at the PDP's but the traffic is unbearable. Plus, the cost of gas is too high.
