<BR>We've received some very encouraging meeting reports showing increased branch attendances so far this year. More and more members are getting involved in their local branch and this is in no small part down to your hard work. <BR><BR>Feedback we've received from most committee members has mentioned the new system of mailing all local members prior to each event as being a major reason for the increased interest. <BR><BR>We really want to make these mailings as effective as possible and include as much as we can to encourage members to take the plunge and see what you have to offer. Ideally, the following information should be included on each mailing:<BR><BR>- confirmed meeting date<BR>- title / topic<BR>- some bullet points to describe the content<BR>- speaker name, company and/or job title, plus biography (if possible)<BR>- venue and address<BR>- a committee contact <BR><BR>Agnieszka Grzywaczewska - agnieszka.grzywaczewska@aat.org.uk - will be in touch about a month before each meeting to discuss the mailing content and help to include as much details as possible. Any additional information you can have ready for her would be much appreciated - by Agnieszka... and the members receiving the mailing!<BR><BR>Feel free to drop me a line at steven.drew@aat.org.uk if you have any other ideas that have helped to get more people along to your events.<BR><BR>Best,<BR>Steven<BR><BR>
