Philadelphia
Chapter Best Practices
|
1. Holiday
Party at a Member's Home - This is a popular event. We began
this practice by having it sometime in the beginning of December.
After a snowstorm postponed it until the first week of January,
we found that we got a much better turnout during that first
week of January. Now we always have the holiday party during
the first week of January.

2. Summer
Retreat at a Member's Home - We have it at a member's home
outside of the city in a private, wooded area with a pool
during the month of July. We provide a continental breakfast
as people are arriving, have a speaker who presents on a subject
that revolves around self-care for the career professional,
have a wonderful catered lunch, swimming, relaxing and sharing.
This past summer we also invited someone to lead us in a beginner
yoga session to promote relaxation. This event draws lots
of guests who later become members.

3. We
have breakfast meetings from 7:45 - 9:00 am in September,
November, January, March, and May in a beautiful 52nd floor
private club overlooking the city. It is a little expensive,
but the location is a great draw and gives our club some "status"
in the professional community.

4. We
partner with Philadelphia Regional Chapter of SHRM to present
the Career Management Forum six times per year. Human resource
professionals, students majoring in Human Resources at area
colleges, and career management practitioners meet for networking
as well as a program with a career management topic presented
by one of our ACP Philadelphia Chapter members.
|
|
5. We
offer programs at our meetings on topics such as Political
Savvy, Emotional Intelligence, Internet Resources for the
Career Professional, Panel Discussions on How to Publish a
Book, etc. and our Program Committee works hard to keep topics
fresh and relevant.
