LAKE TAHOE SITE FOR JOINT MOAA/CAL-MOAA MEETING

MOAA National will conduct a Western States Chapter Presidents Symposium at South Shore Lake Tahoe Thursday, October 16th to Saturday, October 18th, 2008 to give presidents and others a chance to share a wide range of information. MOAA held such a symposium at the same site in late 2004.

The California Council of Chapters (CAL-MOAA) will hold an Executive Committee (EXCOM) meeting and the Council of Chapter Presidents Annual Meeting on Thursday, October 16th. The EXCOM meeting is scheduled for 10:00am to 11:30am with the presidents and interested others invited to attend. The Annual Meeting will get underway at 1:30pm and conclude at about 4:30pm, in time for a MOAA evening reception and dinner.

MOAA will be inviting chapter presidents, first vice presidents, and the personal affairs representative from chapters and state councils all over the Western United States including Hawaii. In the past MOAA paid hotel and meal expenses; members will be responsible for their own transportation.

Chapter presidents will meet in large and small group sessions to be briefed on, discuss, and perhaps find solutions to many contemporary problems including but not limited to leadership succession, member recruitment and retention, and chapter management challenges.

The personal affairs representatives will meet concurrently and obtain information which should help them provide full services to chapter members in a time of need. The discussions will range from the kinds issues likely to come up, resources available, applicable policies and procedures, plus organization and agency contact information. The meetings are designed to provide reasonable qualification for the personal affairs role.

MOAA’s special room rates will be available before and after the Symposium dates of October 16 to 18 with a $99.00 rate Wednesday, October 15th and $179.00 Saturday, October 18th.
