Chapter Update, Fall 2016

Dear Chapter Members,

Happy Fall! Please find below a few updates from your chapter board:

1) Chapter Board Nominations and Elections:
All chapter members were sent an email from nominating chair Tara Davis with information about nominations and elections. Nominations are due by 5 pm Eastern on Sunday, November 6. Please complete the nomination form at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NNHY78T. You may only submit nominations once. Subsequently, the election period will take place from Friday, November 11 to Monday, November 28. Election voting will also be electronic. Please contact Tara at tarajohnsondavis@gmail.com if you have any questions.
2) GPA National Conference in Atlanta (November 9-12):
For those of you attending this year's national conference, we are planning two informal occasions for our chapter members to meet up:
--> Wednesday, November 9, 6:30 pm: 
During the opening reception, we will gather at the Management Concepts booth, hosted by chapter treasurer Erica Preston, at around 6:30.
--> Friday, November 11, 12:15 pm: 
We will gather for lunch during the main conference lunch (look for the table with the GPA/NCA sign).
3) Hold the date: December 6, 5-7 pm:
We will host our annual meeting and holiday party on Tuesday, December 6, from 5-7 pm at Cove, 1990 K Street, NW (Farragut West/North). The session will feature a special presentation by Jennifer Ayers on “Doing the Mission:  An executive perspective on how to get from here to there.” As a public administrator with 20 years of nonprofit management experience, Ms. Ayers will share how an Executive Director feels when they leave a boardroom, what that means for staff, and how to move from vision to execution -- all helpful for those in the grant writing space who are often the people tasked with explaining how all the pieces work together and finding resources. We will also host our annual business meeting and celebrate the holiday season! More details coming shortly.
4) Consultants Network:
If you are a consultant and not yet a member of our chapter's new consultants network, join us! Please send a message to grantsnca@gmail.com if you would like to join.
5) Job Announcements:
From chapter secretary Lisa Lanier: Director of Grants & Contract Management, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital https://www.glassdoor.com/job-listing/director-of-grants-contract-management-st-jude-children-s-research-hospital-JV_IC1144463_KO0,38_KE39,75.htm?jl=1933223057
The St. Jude’s recruiter is Ryan Greenwood at 901-595-4935.
If your organization has an open job opportunity or you become aware of one, please share with GPA-NCA chapter members! Please post them to our LinkedIn Group or our chapter blog. You can also send them directly to grantsnca@gmail.com and we will include them in the next email distribution to the chapter membership.
Please let us know if you have any information you’d like to share in our next email blast, and feel free to contact us if you have any questions about chapter membership and resources. Thank you and hope to see you at our November and December events!
