 The Vice President steps in if for any reason the President cannot perform his or her duties.  Each year the Vice President appoints a Nominating Committee and leads this committee as they select a slate of individuals to present to the membership as candidates to serve as officers of the Alliance.  The Vice President is an active member of the Board of Directors, heads up selected projects and initiatives, and is also responsible for collaborating with the President to develop a strategic plan for the following year.

The Treasurer also manages the invoicing and collection of member dues, and collects meeting fees.

Marketing

Membership

Jennifer Amstutz, (518) 489-0337


The Membership Chair is coordinates the activities of the 5-6 person Membership Committee, which is responsible for screening prospective members and for member retention.  When a prospective member submits an on-line application on the web site, the Membership Chair reviews it for eligibility and then coordinates in-person interviews and reference checks. The Chair also reviews the new-member profile that is sent to members prior to voting on a candidate for membership.

The Membership Retention subcommittee is responsible for assuring that the Alliance continues to meet members’ needs and follows up when members are not in regular attendance or fall behind on dues payments.

 

Programs

Deborah Ferro Burke, (413) 637-2888



The Chairs of the Programs Committee oversees the development of top quality programs and speakers for Alliance meetings. There are two monthly events. The Friday Luncheon, which is held the second Friday of every month (except August), is held at the Wolfert’s Roost Country Club in Albany. This meeting is open to the public and we strive to have well known speakers with relevant and timely information.






Alan Krieger, (518) 895-2939


The second event is a members-only Breakfast held on the 4th Friday of each month. Breakfast meetings are intended to be educational forums in which our members can share and learn from each other in a very collegial setting. These meetings also include a Member Spotlight which provides a forum for individual members to demonstrate their expertise.
