Marketing Update, Judy
The S4PM brochure is finished and ready to be used; There are also six slides available for members to use when making presentation.  The plan is to expand this to a full PowerPoint presentation.  These resources can be found  on the S4PM Google Drive.  Marketing is also  working  creating a  hard copy tri-fold brochure. The marketing committee has written a guidebook to help our members understand how to use these collateral materials.  They are also reviewing S4Pm’s social media strategy to promote the organization. .

Membership, Tracy
The membership committee is developing a unified view of membership and  a plan  to increase and retain members.  We will report on this at the next meeting.

Learning Exchange, Sarah
We are looking for members who would be interested in presenting at the next Learning Exchange tentatively scheduled for the Fall. Suggested topics are patient safety and medical errors.  We are also looking for a company or Society that might be interested in sponsoring the next Learning Exchange.

Website, John Grohol.
The new website is almost completed and several  board members have provided feedback on the design.  We would like additional feedback before we launch.  Next step is merge our two websites into one and create  the appropriate copy that provides us with a framework to build on.  The design firm that did our collateral has offered to help with the website Pro Bono and in exchange would like us to provide introductions for them.

Higher Logic, Peter
We have renamed our Forums SPM Connect.  We now have 145 people who have gone to the site, logged in and agreed to the terms. Our challenge  is to get the rest of our S4PM members to sign up with SPM Connect, create a username and password and participate in our forums and discussions.

Advocacy Update, Danny
We have had a change of leadership of our Advocacy group.  John Steiner has accepted a new position and is  unable to continue as the chair of the committee.  There are a couple of members interested in advocacy and we will with them to form a viable committee.
