Coretta Poole served as National BDPA vice president (membership management) in 2006-2007. Coretta shared a final message with the national board of directors on 12/31/2007. I thought that you might enjoy seeing what she had to say ...
I hope that those of you reading this farewell message from Coretta Poole will take a moment to share some BDPA-Love with her by using the POST A COMMENT feature below. What say u?
Chapter Renewal
If you have not already done so, please be sure to renew the chapter term for your respective chapter in the global database. This may be accomplished by logging into the global database, navigating to your chapter page, and left-clicking the Renew this Chapter link near the bottom of the screen. You have the option of renewing for either a one-year or two-year term, in accordance with your chapter bylaws and procedures.
For those chapters that are experiencing a leadership transition, Immediate Past Presidents are asked to assist incoming Chapter Presidents with this task. When renewing the chapter, it is also important that chapter leadership roles be assigned to accurately reflect those member-volunteers who have stepped up to serve in a leadership capacity.
Lifetime Membership
Lifetime memberships are now available for purchase at the global database. Recently approved at the 4th Quarter NBOD meeting, this new membership type has been fully integrated into the global database. Chapters are encouraged to promote this new membership type as it will lay the foundation for BDPA member retention for years to come.
BDPA Digital Library Metrics
Although the usage metrics for the BDPA Digital Library were not available at the 4th Quarter NBOD meeting, we are pleased to report that from January 2007 through November 2007, more than 1400 searches were conducted in the two modules that comprise the library. Not bad for a resource that was first introduced to the members in 2007. This truly demonstrates that a number of our members have used this important members-only resource to access current information across a variety of IT topics. Thank you for promoting this resource to our members.
Farewell
Serving as BDPA’s VPMM for the last two years has truly been a privilege that has inspired me in all areas of my life. Thanks so much to each of you for your dedication to BDPA and our community. And thank you for the opportunity to serve. Having met with the incoming National VPMM, Eatonia Williams of BDPA Detroit, I feel truly encouraged that great success lies ahead for BDPA, the dedicated chapters and the deserving members. BDPA is truly fortunate to have her as the next VPMM. Here’s to great success in 2008-09! For matters related to Membership Management, Eatonia may be reached at the official VPMM email address, vpmm@bdpa.org.
Kind regards,
Coretta Poole, 2006-07 VPMM
