ASTDNEFL Quest 8: Is money flow and net profit part of the discussion at your board meetings? Please explain. #ASTDchapters

drlarryhiner @jenni694 #ASTDchapters Q6. No written example; but might start with X% from memberships, Y% sponsor ads, Z% other.

jenni694 Q6) would like to see revenue source plan submitted for SOS. please submit, if you have one #ASTDChapters

larrystraining Q6) I think a key is a good “What’s in it for them” the sponsor. What will they get if they support you. #ASTDChapters

jenni694 RT @drlarryhiner: Q6. No written example; but might start with X% from memberships, Y% sponsor ads, Z% other. #ASTDChapters

8:44:34 pm LandDDave: Q1) We don’t have it documented anywhere, but it seems to be the President’s responsibility. It’s been that way for 4-5 years #astdchapters
8:45:07 pm larrystraining: Q1) At #neokastd the Immediate Past President submits the CORE forms, but it is the board working together to complete it. #astdchapters
8:45:36 pm ErickTaft: Q1) The chapter President & President-Elect – the board provides supporting documentation #astdchapters

8:47:45 pm ErickTaft: @dbolen Evening Don. #astdchapters
8:48:08 pm dbolen: Q1 president-elect in ATL is responsible for compiling and submitting CORE #astdchapters
8:48:16 pm ErickTaft: Kind of related, Q2) How long does it take to complete the CORE report? #astdchapters
8:48:54 pm larrystraining: RT @ErickTaft: Q2) How long does it take to complete the CORE report? #astdchapters
8:50:08 pm ErickTaft: Q2) Completing and submitting the report can be done in under 1/2 hour – getting the supporting documentation takes time. #astdchapters
8:50:42 pm dbolen: Q2 last time I did this it as straight forward, we had the info and it was completing the form, maybe 45 minutes#astdchapters
8:51:09 pm larrystraining: Q2) Each part takes approx. an hour or two, but assigning it to functional members and compiling it speeds the process. #astdchapters
8:52:17 pm LandDDave: Q2) It took me about 3 hours in one sitting to complete the CORE report. #astdchapters
8:52:47 pm LandDDave: Q2) Using the same basic template year-after-year helps. #astdchapters
8:52:51 pm ErickTaft: Q2) It is important to keep good, solid records (board minutes) , financials, membership records. #astdchapters
8:53:06 pm ErickTaft: RT @LandDDave: Q2) Using the same basic template year-after-year helps. #astdchapters <- Yes, it does.
8:53:33 pm dbolen: Q2, must be the PM in me, had it pretty well organized with organized data #astdchapters
8:53:51 pm Charnell_W: RT @ErickTaft: Q2) It is important to keep good, solid records (board minutes) , financials, membership records.#astdchapters
8:54:10 pm LandDDave: Q2) Once we got to 100% CORE, it was simple to look at it as “There’s our template” #astdchapters
8:54:24 pm larrystraining: RT @ErickTaft: Q2) It is important to keep good, solid records (board minutes) , financials, membership records.#astdchapters
8:54:25 pm ErickTaft: Q2) an keep the board members with the data engaged & invovled – makes it much easier. #astdchapters
8:55:15 pm dbolen: RT @LandDDave: Q2) Once we got to 100% CORE, it was simple to look at it as “Theres our template” yes sir!#astdchapters
8:55:24 pm Charnell_W: RT @LandDDave: Q2) Once we got to 100% CORE, it was simple to look at it as “There’s our template” | Good point!#astdchapters
8:55:31 pm ErickTaft: Q3) How can a chapter achieve 100% CORE (Chapter Operating Requirements)? #ASTD #astdchapters
8:55:52 pm ErickTaft: RT @LandDDave: Q2) Once we got to 100% CORE, it was simple to look at it as “There’s our template” #astdchapters
8:56:04 pm larrystraining: Having the template and actually doing the items can be two different things 😉 RT @LandDDave: Q2) “Theres our template” #astdchapters
8:56:51 pm ErickTaft: Q3) or, if not 100%, what are plans to achieve 100%? #astdchapters
8:56:55 pm larrystraining: RT @ErickTaft: Q3) How can a chapter achieve 100% CORE (Chapter Operating Requirements)? #ASTD#astdchapters
8:57:23 pm Charnell_W: Q3) If in doubt whether U can be 100%, reach out to UR NAC or Coach & talk through the elements & what U are doing. #astdchapters
8:57:55 pm ErickTaft: Q3) Easier said than done – use CORE as the basis of the annual operations plan & execute the plan. #astdchapters
8:58:38 pm ErickTaft: RT @Charnell_W: Q3) If in doubt whether U can be 100%, reach out to UR NAC or Coach & talk through the elements & what U are doing. #astdchapters
8:58:43 pm LandDDave: Q3) It starts with looking at why you aren’t at 100% CORE. How controllable is what’s missing? #astdchapters
8:59:48 pm larrystraining: Q3) We have not had board minutes published for over a year and when they canceled ChAMP we lost all our saved documents. #astdchapters
8:59:59 pm ErickTaft: @Charnell_W Good point – if unsure, ask for help – some requirements you only need to hit once during the year to meet. #astdchapters
9:00:45 pm ErickTaft: @LandDDave Just about everything is controllable. #astdchapters
9:01:10 pm LandDDave: @larrystraining All your saved docs are gone? That’s nuts! #astdchapters
9:01:33 pm ErickTaft: @larrystraining Yikes! #astdchapters
9:01:44 pm LandDDave: @ErickTaft Depends on your point of view… I’ve heard lots of complaints about the joint National and CPLP requirements. #astdchapters
9:01:59 pm larrystraining: And frustrating. RT @LandDDave: @larrystraining All your saved docs are gone? Thats nuts! #astdchapters
9:02:18 pm ErickTaft: @LandDDave That one is a little challenging – also some years keep the required min # of members. #astdchapters
9:02:54 pm LandDDave: I’ve got to confess, we use Champ but haven’t set a plan to move to Wild Aprocot yet. What’s the timeframe for sunsetting? #astdchapters
9:03:14 pm ErickTaft: RT @LandDDave: I’ve got to confess, we use Champ but haven’t set a plan to move to Wild Aprocot yet. What’s the timeframe for sunsetting? #astdchapters
9:03:53 pm dbolen: Q3 ChAMP and local member database are a cluster, too &$%# manual #astdchapters
9:04:03 pm ErickTaft: @LandDDave Same here. The timing of the announcement could have been better. #astdchapters

9:06:44 pm dbolen: @ErickTaft @dbolen yes, don’t want to go there #astdchapters
9:07:06 pm larrystraining: Q4) It needs to be an all year process, not a good report to practice procrastination. #astdchapters
9:07:28 pm dbolen: Q4 it’s reconciling joint members to meet the threshold #astdchapters
9:07:49 pm ErickTaft: Q4) disappearing board members are challenge – good record keeping is critical along with a strong ops plan.#astdchapters
9:07:59 pm ErickTaft: RT @larrystraining: Q4) It needs to be an all year process, not a good report to practice procrastination. #astdchapters
9:08:26 pm LandDDave: RT @dbolen: @LandDDave @ErickTaft whats the CPLP requirement, is it membership # based? < I think is a small % of members #astdchapters
9:09:00 pm dbolen: @ErickTaft LOST? agreed need to be better keeper of records, tough for volunteers #astdchapters
9:09:06 pm LandDDave: Q4) It would be nice if it were more of a team effort than one person’s role. #astdchapters
9:09:10 pm ErickTaft: @dbolen I’m thinking the past two years may have been tough to meet the joint threshold for all. #astdchapters
9:10:30 pm dbolen: @LandDDave Q4 we’ve keep more better records for CORE categories and that’s the responsible VP, so far, it’s worked#astdchapters
9:11:34 pm WaltHansmann: Using ChAMP reconciling joint members was no problem. Despite decrease in members in 2010, joint increased.#astdchapters
9:11:50 pm LandDDave: @dbolen Your current site is done via Wild Apricot? #astdchapters
9:11:56 pm ErickTaft: Q4) helps to assign specific parts of CORE to board members for the year to complete. #astdchapters

9:18:28 pm ErickTaft: @dbolen 1000 CPLPs / 110 chapters – I doubt there is an even distribution + some are not local members.#astdchapters
9:18:37 pm WaltHansmann: Anyone offer lower chapter fees to joint members and higher to local only members? #astdchapters
9:19:13 pm dbolen: @ErickTaft @dbolen on the nose and one of the core (pun intended) issues #astdchapters
9:19:35 pm ErickTaft: @WaltHansmann We used to – along with the student, retiree, honoree, & group memberships it got to complicated to administer. #astdchapters
9:20:26 pm Charnell_W: RT @WaltHansmann:Anyone offer lower chapter fees to joint members and higher to local only members? No but promote Power of 2 #astdchapters
9:20:27 pm ErickTaft: @dbolen There is something wrong with the math & the assumption. #astdchapters
9:20:54 pm dbolen: CPLP is a personal decision to be made by an individual, chapters should not be help CORE accountable for x% of CPLP#astdchapters
9:21:02 pm ErickTaft: Q6) What aspect of CORE would you recommend that #ASTD drop or change? #astdchapters
9:21:17 pm WaltHansmann: @ErickTaft: I can imagine. We have just regular and student. Would not mind adding a reduced joint fee.#astdchapters

9:21:30 pm ErickTaft: Q6) (wondering if joint membership / CPLP requirements will be mentioned???) #astdchapters
9:22:19 pm LandDDave: @dbolen The same could be said about other CORE aspects – joint membership as an example. #astdchapters
9:22:40 pm ryantracey: RT @LandDDave: Q1) We don’t have it documented anywhere, but it seems to be the President’s responsibility. It’s been that way for 4-5 years #astdchapters
9:22:47 pm WaltHansmann: Q6) For ChAMP chapters, why do we repeat membership info when nat’l already has it all? #astdchapters
9:22:50 pm dbolen: Q6 there must be some assessment of reality, will join membership be attractive to younger members? #astdchapters
9:23:09 pm ErickTaft: @dbolen That encourages chapters to do things like 100% national membership only, CPLP required for board members… #astdchapters
9:23:28 pm LandDDave: Q6) Is dropping CORE in itself a reasonable suggestion? 😉 #astdchapters
9:23:43 pm LandDDave: RT @WaltHansmann: Q6) For ChAMP chapters, why do we repeat membership info when natl already has it all? < AMEN! #astdchapters
9:24:00 pm dbolen: @ErickTaft @dbolen and is that a good thing? #astdchapters
9:24:29 pm LandDDave: Q6) One of the challenges we’ve had with Joint membership is the varying pricing on National Memberships.#astdchapters
9:24:33 pm ErickTaft: @LandDDave CORE helps with basic chapter operations – needs to be kept simple & reasonably obtainable for volunteers. #astdchapters
9:26:04 pm ErickTaft: @dbolen No, it could keep talented individuals off the board. CPLP is personal choice. #astdchapters
9:26:21 pm dbolen: @ErickTaft @LandDDave once “quaint” aspect of CORE is that it’s biased in promoting national vs what might be better for local #astdchapters
9:27:09 pm LandDDave: RT @ErickTaft: CORE helps with basic chapter operations – needs to be kept simple & reasonably obtainable for volunteers. #astdchapters
9:27:12 pm Charnell_W: There’s no CPLP requirement in CORE| RT @dbolen: @LandDDave @ErickTaft what’s the CPLP requirement, is it membership # based? #astdchapters
9:27:24 pm LandDDave: RT @dbolen: @ErickTaft one “quaint” aspect of CORE is that its biased in promoting national vs what might be better for local #astdchapters
9:27:36 pm dbolen: sorry don’t want to beat up on national, there has been tremendous improvement and attention over previous years#astdchapters
9:27:54 pm ErickTaft: @dbolen:@LandDDave Isn’t NORE (National Operating Requirements) supposed to do that? #astdchapters
9:27:55 pm LandDDave: @Charnell_W They dropped it? #astdchapters
9:28:16 pm larrystraining: Q6) I think of CORE similar to ISO cert, or CPLP cert, or (insert name here) cert…there has to be some steps 4 achieving. #astdchapters
9:28:26 pm ErickTaft: @Charnell_W Thank you for clearing that up Charnell. #astdchapters
9:28:41 pm WaltHansmann: If CPLP is not CORE requirement, why include the question? Nat’l does not already know? #astdchapters
9:28:55 pm Charnell_W: I relooked at elements – its not in there. Wasn’t in there in the past. RT @LandDDave: @Charnell_W They dropped it?#astdchapters
9:29:02 pm dbolen: however, there are tremendous challenges for chapters that national may be able to assist with but cannot #astdchapters
9:29:44 pm ErickTaft: I think the CPLP is in the demographic questions… *trying to remember* #astdchapters
9:29:50 pm LandDDave: @Charnell_W Maybe CPLP is one of the requirements that were scaled back due to the economy. #astdchapters
9:30:18 pm ErickTaft: On to the bonus questions… #astdchapters
9:31:14 pm WaltHansmann: CPLP question on page 10 of CORE http://bit.ly/gF1pBH #astdchapters

9:32:35 pm WaltHansmann: RT @Charnell_W: so other chapters do not tell Natl who are local only? We do. ChAMP #astdchapters
9:32:35 pm ErickTaft: @Charnell_W Would be nice if local & national used same data-base for membership. #astdchapters
9:33:05 pm ErickTaft: Q7) How does the CORE report help your chapter be sound and successful? #astdchapters
9:33:20 pm Charnell_W: Think it was mis-info that spread RT @LandDDave: @Charnell_W mayB CPLP is 1 of the reqs that wr scaled back due 2 the economy. #astdchapters
9:34:02 pm ErickTaft: Q7) used CORE as the backbone of ops plan & strategy planning during time as chapter president. #astdchapters

9:35:52 pm ErickTaft: RT @WaltHansmann: Q7) CORE is a standard for measurement. Could be considered minimums. #astdchapters
9:35:54 pm WaltHansmann: RT @Charnell_W: Maybe a single database makes more sense? We run everything thru ChAMP #astdchapters
9:36:00 pm Charnell_W: Agree | RT @ErickTaft: @Charnell_W Would be nice if local & national used same data-base for membership.#astdchapters

9:36:18 pm ErickTaft: RT @dbolen: Q7 CORE facilitates process and sound practice, that’s a good thing #astdchapters
