INTRODUCING

PRESIDENT'S CORNER

Kim Beynon

To our PMINYC community,


My first month in office has been a flurry of activity befitting New York City. So in New York fashion, let's just jump in and get started.


The 2023 focus for the Chapter falls into four categories:


  1. Enhancing Communications
  2. Building Community
  3. Overhauling Governance
  4. Achieving Operational Excellence


Let's dive into one of those areas today, enhancing communications, and what it means for you. 


Bringing Back the Newsletter

In a survey conducted last autumn, you told us:


  • 87% of respondents prefer to hear about events & offerings through the newsletter
  • 8% of respondents told us that the single most important thing that would add value to their membership is better communications


We listened. As the first step in improving communications, we have refreshed the newsletter and are committed to publication on a consistent monthly basis.  


Join our Social Media Team!

We are also in the process of putting together a crack social media team! If you are interested in volunteering in this capacity, please reach out to me directly, kim.beynon@pminyc.org


2023 February Pulse Survey

In the same survey, we asked what influences your decision to attend an event or meeting:


  • 75% of respondents stated location 
  • 85% the day of the week of the event 


Now, we are conducting a pulse survey to learn a bit more about your preferences as we plan events for the coming year. Please respond so we can give you what you want. 


Active Listening In-Person Training

We also asked what are the top soft skills on which you would like training - 15% asked for active listening and preferred an in-person class or workshop. As part of the mentoring series of workshops, we will be holding an exclusive workshop on active listening for a small group of 20 at Chief's Flagship Clubhouse in the Flatiron district - you must be hosted by a Member to be on the premises - so this is your opportunity to see the venue! Sign up today!


Quarterly Town Hall

Finally, we will be holding quarterly Town Halls. Please sign up here for our first quarter Town Hall and let us know what you think.


I am listening.


Until next month…


Kind regards,

Kim
