In this meeting, we are not going to have a speaker. Instead, we will spend more time networking and getting to know each other, as well as discussing what we would like to see and do in the chapter ongoingly.

 Initial Discussion Topics

• Do we want to have a social event in August? If so, what logistics do we want? Do we want to meet at a restaurant for dinner or happy hour or maybe for breakfast or lunch? What kind of budget would everyone like to see? Is anyone besides myself willing to sponsor the event? 
•  
• For the future, do we want to continue meeting exclusively on Zoom or do we try a hybrid zoom and in person?
•  
• What topics would you like to see next year?
•  
• How do we want to structure the leadership team of the chapter and who is interested in participating.

For example for August, I have a venue in La Jolla overlooking the ocean where we could get together and I could provide appetizers and everyone could order their own drinks and any additional food. Or maybe someone is willing to sponsor this or another venue for an event.

I would also like other members to join the leadership team. We have CPE and speakers pretty much covered. We could use someone for membership, contacting the current members as needed and working to grow our membership in the chapter.

Please feel free to email me if you have any questions or suggestions.
