• Other chapters in SW region? Salt Lake, Vegas.
• Pikes Peak is hosting 2025.
• If we have reps in those areas get them involved in CSI throughout the SW.
• Robin-Salt Lake and Denver offer virtual options, offer these opportunities to the other chapters. (Piggy-back) a bit with other chapters to show value.
• Jaime-Free to members but charge for others.
• Bobbi Jo- we don’t have that many virtual attendees now.
• Minnie-trial run for this option?
• Jaime-National website log-in then link to meeting, do this for the Phoenix website, Salt Lake, etc…
• Brooke-may want to limit this since we are trying to grow our chapter.
• Minnie- We offer different programs to draw more attendees in, we could try it for 1-2 meetings. First meeting for guests maybe? Need access to link with website / meeting link.
• John-Value of meetings is more architects and specifiers in these meetings. Architekton tour as an example. Big draw to “show off” their work, and boost participation.
• Minnie-Not a virtual meeting
