It is important to observe the corporate form. If incorporated, by law you have to have an annual meeting with the stockholders. Make sure to document this meeting. Otherwise, your corporate veil could be pierced. You never want to back date anything. That is fraud. What is MABE? A people connection. We need to build these relationships. We have tried group socials. Attendance is low during the summer because people travel. Jana Greene commented that the planning is either too far ahead or too close. A social committee member commented that some events require several months of planning and sometimes the short notice is unavoidable. Nick Mawrenko suggested members try to have lunch with each other and stop by each others businesses. How many MABE referrals do you get? How can we increase these numbers? Bring in new members. Attendance and participation is also a factor. People won't refer you if they don't know you or simply don't think about you because they never see or hear from you. Dave Crissman believes we are not promoting MABE enough. He suggested a newsletter that tells our members' stories. It could go out to our customers that will direct members to the MABE website that in turn directs them to our individual websites. ToFixIt and the Rosie Group have tried similar tactics but they don't have the integrity of this group. It could work for us. A committee will be organized to look into promoting MABE and its members. They will meet at the Landmark Restaurant next Tuesday at 11:30am. [delete/bios/other/questionofday.htm]
