Tomorrow, Wednesday, January 14, from 1:00 – 1:50 PM ET, the Chapter Leaders Playground is talking about Hot Ideas for Chapter Meetings for 2009. As I've written before in the blog, I firmly believe 2009 is the "Year of the Chapter" because as budgets get tight members are looking for value closer to home.

That means the challenge rests on us -- association profs and chapter leaders -- to create great programs "at home." For a fast-paced 50-minute webinar, we're going to explore how to do that. I'm on the hot seat to share 8 new meeting formats (speed mentoring anyone?) and we're inviting all  participants of course to chime in with ideas.

If you haven't explored the Chapter Leaders Playground, here's a chance to do that - and for free. Cynthia D'Amour is letting me invite friends for free. But you have to use this link. Here it is again just in case: http://www.chapterleadersplayground.org/event/peggyguests.

Stay tuned for a quick recap (which may not be as good as the real thing!).
