      We are currently in the process of implementing a Chapter Messaging and Resources Center.  Hosted by AirSet®, the service will serve as an e-mail listserv (group messaging), chapter calendar, member roster, and blog.  Chapter files and photo albums may also be stored on the site.  Members do not have to join the service or group to receive group e-mails, provided we have your e-mail address.  Members who do join will receive the benefits of both AirSet and our group messaging and resources center.  The site will officially launch later this month and members with e-mail addresses in the NENA directory will receive invitations to join.

 

 

Condolences

On behalf of the Virginia Chapter of NENA Executive Board, our thoughts and prayers go out to Illinois NENA (INENA) for the passing of their Chapter President, Doug Miller. Doug passed away Monday, April 21, 2008. He was the Director of Bureau County 911, in Illinois.

Join the 2008 NENA Chapter Challenge!

 

NENA is issuing a challenge to each chapter to increase membership for the 2008 membership year – with big prizes for the winners!

 

Here’s how it works:

 

v      Each new member, (including previous members whose membership has expired), from each chapter will be counted, regardless of how they join. The membership does not have to result from a chapter conference or marketing drive (but it can!) We strongly encourage each chapter to use their own marketing ideas to promote NENA membership within their state. Any help NENA can provide (email lists, mailing lists, marketing materials) just let us know!

 

v      2 Prizes will be awarded! The chapter that recruits the most new members overall and the chapter that has the highest proportional increase in membership will each win.

§         For example: Chapter X with 400 original members and 100 new members can win by the sheer number of new members, but Chapter Y, with 30 original members and 15 new members can also win by increasing their membership by 50%. 

§         Winners will be announced at the Annual 9-1-1 Conference and Tradeshow in June

 

v      Winning chapters will receive a FREE one-day NENA Education course (valued at $4,000) of their choosing to be scheduled at their convenience. The course must be scheduled before May 30, 2009 – this will allow the opportunity to have a NENA course at either a Fall 2008 or a Spring 2009 NENA Chapter Conference!

 

v      All memberships received after October 1, 2007 for the 2008 membership dues year will be counted in the final total.

 

v      All eligible memberships must be received at NENA headquarters by May 31, 2008.
