Chapter UpdateMember Promotion team hosts spooky good time during the final happy hour of 2020by Carla Patrick-Fagan
Sandy Menzel won the first round of Crowdpurr trivia for “horror movies.” Mike Freeman won the second round for “Name That Drink.” Both were awarded a $25 Amazon egift card. Valerio Crovasce was the grand prize winner of “Test your PM Knowledge,” earning a $50 Amazon egift card! 60% of attendees rated the event excellent with another 50% rating it very good. Feedback included: "It was my first virtual happy hour - it was very fun - there were not as many people as I expected, but that may have been good for my first time! Looking forward to more!" and “More ideas from member retention and attendees on future programs could improve future happy hours.” Thanks to all who attended, especially Member Retention (Murthy Guduguntla and Sheila Dugeon) for their support. Thank you to Erica Nunes, Manager Member Promotion for helping to develop trivia questions. Thank you to our platinum and gold-level sponsors who help us put on great events, such as this one. Finally, best wishes to Stacey Frakovici and Mike Freeman who are preparing to sit for the PMP in the near future. Serve Squad Youth PM Training Program - Volunteers Needed
