CHICA-SA MEETINGS

CHICA-SA meets 8 times a year and our meetings follow the format outlined in the tables below.

• View 2008 Meeting Schedule

The premise behind the meeting format is to provide a flexible, modular approach to meetings that can be modified based arising needs of the Chapter. At some times in the year, Chapter business is a priority. At other times of the year, the focus of the meeting is on formal education or on informal networking. Examples of content for each module is provided, but is not intended to be an exhaustive list.

Module philosophies:

• Networking: makes learning fun, informal, and social; designed to foster group linkages, to improve support and to help share resources in the group.
• Education: a more formal presentation of learning through outside speakers, practice discussions, reviewing literature etc.
• Business: most meetings have a 20 minute slot for Chapter business. Most reports are submitted to the Secretary for distribution and only important or pressing business would be discussed in the Chapter meeting (See briefing note template).

Meeting format:
