5:00 pm - Meeting held at the Sprecher Brewery, prior to the CHMM Chapter meeting.

 

  • Sonji passed on confirmation from Matt Redmann that the Leadership Conference would be scheduled on April 23-26, 2008.  We are most thankful for the generous contribution by Harley Davidson for sharing their meeting space for this event.

 

Committee Updates:

  • Wednesday Evening Mixer – Liz Schuller reported that Mo’s Irish Pub, downtown location, is available at that time.  Rental cost of space is $75.00, with an approximate $1500 minimum for food and bar, plus a 20% gratuity charge.  A deposit is required to book the room.
  • Thursday Evening Dinner – Tariq Akmut was not present at the meeting but provided rental information for the Milwaukee Art Museum.  The rental rate is $1000.00.  Dinner can be provided in the Café Calatrava; tours of the museum and the opening of the Bris Soliel are included in the rental.
  • Tours – Cheryl Moran discussed options for the Friday afternoon  tours (1:00 - 4:30 pm) Such things as the Domes, Miller Park, Behind the Scenes at the Harley Davidson Museum and visiting places on Old World 3rd Street (Spice House, Usingers, etc.)
  • Hotel – Michele provided a list of options, but it looks like the downtown Hilton Hotel will be the best option.  Room rates were quoted at $129.00 per night.  Efforts will be made to reserve the rooms.  Please note:  the Hilton does not have hotel provided transportation for its guests.
  • Gift Bags/ Welcome Packets – Sonji Carter will have welcome packets available for the guests.  Info about Milwaukee, the schedule, plus goodies will be included in  this care package. 
  • Name Tags – Each person attending should have a name tag for use during at each of the events planned.
  • Corporate Sponsorship – Harley Davidson will get the top bill, but we still need to get at least one more donor.  Ideas were provided in the materials sent from last year’s event.

 

Committee members will continue to obtain information for each portion of the event.  The Leadership Conference Committee will meet next after the November 14th CHMM Meeting.
