MONTHLY REGIONAL CONFERENCE CALLS

This is a brand NEW program! You will only have one conference call a month to participate in.

Participants: 

Each Regions Deputy President, District Directors, local club Presidents and club members who represent the club on the particular topic being discussed.  

Purpose of these monthly conference calls: 

To develop a cohesive outlet for information.  Provide for specific topics of interest, i.e. membership, program, etc…  Take questions from local club presidents (via e-mail); share success stories; every conference call will be agenda oriented.  TFRW officers or Chairmen may be invited as a participant to address topics of interest to the group.

Each Region has been assigned a day, time and date.  Please refer to the chart below for your assignment.

The District Director is the club presidents contact person.  Contact your District Director if you:

1.      Have questions concerning club activities, send to the DD’s. She will compile the questions for review then decide if it’s appropriate to answer on the conference call or if it requires individual attention.

2.      Share success stories relating to the topic of the month.  March's topic will be membership presented by Hazel Roman, TFRW VP Membership.  If you have a story on how the club increased membership send it to your District Director.

3.      I am encouraging you to join your regions call but if you are unable to participate at that time, you can be assigned to one of the other calls. Let your District Director know you need to switch. TFRW will get you assigned to another call.

Each month:

You will receive an email invitation from "Executive Director", subject line "Conference Call Invitation for (DATE) (TIME)”.  Please check your spam box as it may have been delivered there.  It is very important that we have your up to date email address so you will receive your invitation.  Please let the TFRW Headquarters know if you have an email address change.

Please reply to that email using the RSVP link, as either Accept or Decline.  The link is located in the body of the email about 1/2 way down the page.
