We recently had the opportunity to talk to LeTip of Chevy Chase, one of the bigger chapters in Maryland, and ask them a handful of questions about their chapter and their members. Here is what they had to say:

How has the first year of the chapter being part of LeTip been?  

Our chapter started at the beginning of 2021. We have actively  utilizes as many of  the national resources as possible.  Our leadership has established relationships with Summer Middleton, Paul Della Valle, Maria Diaz and the leaders of several other chapters to learn best practices for our chapter.

Where do you see the chapter in a year from now? Or what goals, if any, is the chapter focused on for 2025? 

A year from now we hope to double our membership and incorporate new and innovative ways to enhance our membership experience and promote member engagement.

What would you like us to know about your chapter that makes you different from others?

Several things – 1. We encourage our members to engage in as many national meetings and events as possible.  2. We encourage real personal relationships amongst the membership 3. We try to make our meetings less stringent and more interactive and engaging.  4. Our leadership is approachable and we have an open-door policy  5. We try to get in front of any disputes and mitigate them before they escalate

Would you like to share any members’ success stories?  

Our individual members have many successes from the relationships they have built within the Chapter and the National network.

How does your board work together to ensure the success of the chapter? 

Our Board Meetings are 90 minutes, virtual, and our agenda always focuses on how we can improve our weekly meetings, add engaging activities, such as our upcoming Chapter retreat, and resolve issues with any members.

Do you do any chapter events (Virtual or in-person) other than the weekly meetings? 

We hold quarterly in-person business mixers and we do this on a weekend to make it easier for everyone to get there; we hold quarterly new member lunches with Board members; we are planning our first annual Chapter retreat; and we have a new committee planning monthly informal happy hours for those who can attend.  We also have been working with other Maryland chapter to put together state-wide events.

What is your favorite chapter memory since you got started?  

The May 2024 National Convention where 9 of us attended and had the best experience, meeting the LeTip International leadership, meeting people from Chapters all over the country and being awarded champions of the Mass Bowl.

 

Thank you, LeTip of Chevy Chase, for taking the time to connect with us and let us know how things are going in your chapter!
