The group assigned reporting responsibilities at the chapter meetings on the topics of legislative updates and diversity/focus to the Board Members at Large. The group discussed options for giving to the community for points on CAPS such as; Dress for Success (donating suits), WICS program (donating coats, mittens, etc.) Teresa J. will research further information.
