President elect Brent Boyko presided at the meeting and presented on his President Elect Training experience and the highlight takeaway aspirations he aspires to for his upcoming year.
Amongst the key characteristics of growing successful clubs are efforts to enhance member engagement while encouraging young and diverse people in recruitment and of course engaging them in meaningful project work.

Members present immediately jumped into the discussion. They are invited to contact Brent with their individual questions, concerns and ideas about passionate activities to be followed up on.
