Chapter Chat: How A CRP Helped Turn Around A 15-Year Membership DeclineBillhighway
With more than 1,500 clubs and 185,000 members, a membership drop of 2% year over year for 15 consecutive years can really impact your bottom line, leaving you with a crisis on your hands. Rick Rangel, Director of Growth at the Northern California Golf Association (NCGA) had chapters that were drowning. NCGA was at a crossroads. They’d been doing the same thing over and over again with their clubs and expecting different results. Rick realized they weren’t giving their chapter leaders the tools they needed to be successful.
- Club officers found one-off tools on their own, and their data did not automatically flow up to HQ.
- Onboarding processes and value propositions differed from club to club.
- Chapter websites were a huge pain and branding issues were rampant.
- On average, club officers easily put in 40 hours every quarter, volunteering their time and energy, so burnout happened often.
Sound familiar? From off-brand chapter websites to AWOL officers, Rick shares his chapters-in-crisis experience. Tune in to find out what tools, tips, and tricks he used to prevent major mayhem. Under Rick’s helm, NCGA has been able to correct course, now seeing 6% membership growth year over year since 2016. Regardless of your components' structure, you’ll benefit from the CRP advice we share in this webinar.

Chapter Performance & Benchmarking Unwrapped: How Associations View ChaptersBillhighway
Day 1 Agenda:
- Overview of how associations view chapters from 3-levels: CRP (operations); CEO (strategy); Chapter Leader (volunteer experience on the ground)
- The findings of the 2022 Chapter Performance and Benchmarking Study
- Share how your association can use the data and findings
View the workshop recording: https://youtu.be/Mh3uxdlf3vs
Members seek face-to-face opportunities to connect, learn, volunteer, and socialize with their peers more than ever. CRPs are looking for ways to activate that member engagement at chapters. Around the country, they’re asking:
- Are associations changing how they manage and relate to their chapters?
- What support and services should we give our chapters?
- How should we evaluate our chapters?
- Are chapters still relevant?
Mariner Management and Billhighway conducted the third Chapter Benchmarking Study to explore these questions and more. We went out to CRPs, CEOs, and Chapter Leaders. The data analysis offers a resource for benchmarking, sharing innovations in chapter management, and starting conversations about the future of chapters. Join us as we unveil the 2022 Association Chapter Performance & Benchmarking Report, and more importantly, look at how you can use it to answer your questions and optimize your chapters! #leveragechapters #gotchapters

Idea Swap: Helping Chapters Embrace ChangeBillhighway
We need chapter leaders to make changes. It could be huge like shifting structures, medium like embracing new volunteer models, support services, affiliate agreements, or easy like changing your schedule. Resistance to change is natural. Anytime you introduce a new process or technology, you have to think about change management from the very start. Unfortunately, we underestimate how our leader training can support us in leading that change. This idea swap will explore how we can use our current and future training opportunities to help chapters embrace change.

Leading a Toastmasters club using a process oriented approachKumar Kolaganti
Leadership and Management skills are essential for running any organization, big or small, for-profit or not-for-profit. While Leadership skills focus on your soft-skills so you know how to figure out the right thing to do, management skills are more tactical and focus on how to do it right. With just leadership skills, you will figure out the right thing to do. With just management skills, you will learn how to do anything right. Every club officer must have both these type of skills in order to be successful. With both the leadership skills and management skills, you are ready to do the right thing in the right manner.
One of the important management skills is operations management that deals with processes in an organization. To run the club operations, methodically, smoothly and in an efficient manner, it is important to get our “act” (processes) together.
This presentation outlines what is a process and how using processes can potentially benefit a Toastmasters club’s execution of activities.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.

We all want Lions and LCIF to be the global leader in community and humanitarian service
We want to be recognized by the public, and for the community to know about Lions and what we do.
We want our Lions to be excited and proud to be a part of our great organization.
Excitement is contagious. When Lions are excited and passionate about the service they provide, they attract family, friends, colleagues, neighbors, and other community leaders. They make people want to belong to a great organization that does so much for the community.
Have you ever wanted to do more in your community/district but were unable to because you didn’t have enough Lions to support it?
Has your district or club ever struggled trying to get Lions to take on leadership roles?
Has your club ever lost members due to club conflicts or lack of engagement and meaningful service?
As leaders of Lions, we take on the responsibility to leave our district or club better at the end of the year than it was when we started. To make improvements, strategic changes, and to be responsible for ensuring we are improving in all areas, including leadership, membership, service, club operations, and marketing.
GAT touches every club, district, zone and region. To help you understand who is involved in the Global Action Team, lets go through the members level by level.
One-team approach to achieve goals. The Global Action Team puts the entire Lions network to work for districts and clubs. It brings the GLT, GMT, and GST together to support districts and clubs in reaching their goals. When we work as a team, we can make the most impact.
Leadership development. It provides leadership development opportunities that can empower Lions to lead and serve their communities and districts. Strong leaders can help drive membership, champion new service projects and ensure that districts and clubs position themselves for continued success.
Membership Growth. The GAT can also help districts and clubs develop effective membership programs to start new clubs and attract new members, and they can help clubs create a great membership experience that will keep new and seasoned members coming back. More members allow clubs to bring more service to their communities.
Service Innovation. They also assist districts and clubs in identifying resources and best practices to improve their service projects and, by extension, their impact. Quality service projects increase member satisfaction and help to attract new members who are looking to serve.
Foundation Support. The GAT supports and promotes Lions donations to LCIF and Campaign 100. By supporting our foundation, we are supporting Lions all over the world who are in need of various grants and other financial support.
Share and Utilize Resources. Lions International, provides GAT members access to numerous resources for leadership, membership, service, operations, and marketing that can be used to support districts and clubs.
Provide Input and Feedback. Members of the GAT have opportunities to share their input on resources that are in development and/or feedback on how it is utilized and regionalized for their area.
Report. Clubs should be submitting their monthly membership report and reporting on any service projects that have been conducted. MD and districts submit reports on trainings that were conducted.
By involving the entire team in both the goal setting and goal attaining process, GAT is able to have a consistent approach in all aspects of Lionism that strengthens clubs and districts.
The Service Journey is an approach to living and serving well. To making a real difference people can see and feel. It encompasses four simple phases: Learn, Discover, Act, and Celebrate. We love these words because they transcend organizational formulas. They have no borders. They are the essence of Lions and Leos.
Over the last 100 years, the kindness of Lions and Leos has multiplied across borders, oceans, and continents. With over 1.4 million members, we now have an opportunity to truly change our world. That’s why we’re uniting our global service around five areas of need. These Global Causes present significant challenges to humanity, and we believe it’s our turn to meet them.
Lions Clubs International has a number of service project opportunities. Lions can join lions around the world in serving our global causes. LCI offers resources to help plan service projects.
Service Project Planners are a collection of downloadable tools designed for clubs that are ready to engage our global causes in their community.
In addition to LCI’s service programs and project planners, there are many ways that clubs can serve within our global causes.
Lions listen to the needs of their communities and are voices to create change. Advocacy is a new way to serve our causes. We can participate in advocacy by using our voice—through community awareness and education, legislation and public policy, events and partnerships. As community leaders, we can speak for those who need to be heard in front of those who need to hear them.
To effectively tell our story, measure our impact and grow membership, it’s critical that all clubs report service. Every project we participate in as Lions and Leos, no matter how big or small, is valuable and helps us continue our journey toward serving 200 million people per year.
The Kindness Matters Service Award is given annually to a handful of clubs for performing an outstanding service project in one of our global cause areas. Nominated at the club level, the Kindness Matters Service Award is a challenge for Lions and Leos to develop exceptionally innovative and creative service projects with the aim of leaving a positive impact in their communities.
Convention service projects allow Lions to experience first-hand, how host city Lions serve those in need. Projects take place at the convention center and at various locations throughout the host city.
