Fwd: Follow up to our call

A message from our State Mentor for Georgia Chapters of M&M, Elizabeth Fischer.

Mothers & More has had some wonderful changes lately! We are all familiar with the fantastic new logo. We are all familiar with the sharp new colors of pear and plum as well! We also all know that Forum has gone from a quarterly print publication to a more environmentally friendly and interactive MONTHLY online publication. This allows for our members to stay better connected with the organization and other mothers! We know that shortly our brand new website will be revealed and it will be beautiful and easy to navigate for prospective members, current members and chapter leaders.

Another new change affects chapter management. Formerly, chapters where grouped into areas and regions designated by letters and numbers. Not only was it confusing to members, leaders and volunteer staff, it was confusing to prospective members and potential new chapters. Effective following this call, our chapter management structure will change to provide a much cleaner, clearer and more intuitive organizational structure which should absolutely improve our successes!

Chapters will now be grouped together by their respective states. Instead of "region M" we will be know simply and easily by "Ohio". States will be grouped together by logical geographical areas (West, South, Midwest, Northeast) instead of numbers (area 1,2,3, 4, 5, 6). This will be helpful for non-members to find a chapter or start a chapter and also for current leaders and members to better hone in on who is out there to support them.

 

Also, a change has been made to the policy for potential members.  Formerly potential members could only attend 2 meetings before being required to make a decision regarding membership.  Now, potential members may attend any 2 chapter event; meeting, mothers nights out, playgroups, parties, etc, as decided upon by the chapter membership.
