  1. Reviewed  Schedule Schedule

  • Breakout Sessions - may leave Tuesday at 3 sessions. Yvette will reach out to Michael Orth. 

  • Regional Group Sessions - discussed having someone facilitate each group. Perhaps a Board Member or Membership Committee Member. The focus would be to get to know each other, determine what group members want. Use discussion prompts and capture the details using Padlet. Determine what to do with the information gathered. 

  • Reception Plans - Heidi has questions that those attending will answer as they connect with others. Discussed giving prizes. 

  • Historical Society - discussed the tour possibility. Regina will follow up with the Historical Society. 

  • Ask attendees to wear district swag on the last day. 

 

  1. Hotel Visit & Rooms Update - In looking at the large meeting space it was recommended that we use the center space of the Finger Lakes Ballroom for our large group sessions. 

Diamond sponsors would be at tables in the front of the foyer space. 

The Marriott Courtyard is a 10 minute walk and will be suggested if the hotel is booked. 

  1. Vendor Registration Review - Vendor List - Given the space available it was decided to cut off table registration at 25. 

 

  1. Registration Review -
