Our Chapter Values Learning
Children around the country are returning to school to begin another year of learning. Our
learning, however, continues for as long as we live, as long as we allow new thoughts, ideas,
and processes to flourish. Learning makes us better people, and I am struck by a truth for
which I am grateful: The North Texas Chapter of SGMP values learning.
Our chapter shows we value learning when our membership supports local schools by
providing donations of needed items. We’ve collected tissues to help care for the health of
students so they can give their studies the best concentration possible.July
Our
Fall Community
/ August
2016
Service Project will be collecting box tops and school supplies for Thomas Haley Elementary
School in Irving, Texas so that they may use these supplies to further their knowledge of the
world.
Our chapter shows we value learning when members come early to monthly chapter
meetings to network before the program begins. Business contacts are made and friendships are formed as we learn more about each other.
Our chapter shows we value learning when our chapter board members work year-round to
bring the best programs and speakers we can find and afford to our monthly chapter
meetings. As we strive to grow our membership, we search for speakers and topics that will
present new trends, new technological advances, new regulations or limitations, and new
perspectives in the realm of government meeting planning.
Our chapter shows we value learning when we provide scholarships for members to attend
the national and regional education conferences.
Our chapter shows we value learning when members bring co-workers and associates to
chapter meetings. The first time visitor learns about the values and benefits of the SGMP
organization.
Our chapter membership learns about the visitor’s property (supplier) or government agency/educational institution (planner).
Thank you all for learning with me!

The National Board met over the weekend of SEP 10/11 with the new
management company, Ascent Management. During the board meeting,
Maggie McGowan resigned from her position as National President. The
bylaws require that a vacancy of the President position be filled by the
1st Vice President, if willing and able. The Board confirmed the appointment of Michelle Milligan to President.
National News
Maggie requested the following message be shared with everyone:
"I'd like to thank all of you for your continued support of SGMP as we transition through this time. I have
no doubt in my mind that SGMP will be in good hands with Ascent management and with this board of
directors, headed by Michelle Milligan as your very capable and dedicated president. Circumstances beyond my control, both personal and professional, have led to this decision. I remain dedicated to SGMP
and to this board, should they need anything from me. I wish the current national board and Ascent nothing but the best in the days and years to come.
Sincerely, Maggie McGowan, former national president."
The Board thanks Maggie for her commitment to SGMP and all the hard work she has contributed to the
betterment of the Society. We recognize this was a very difficult decision and that it was in the best interest of SGMP.
Your SGMP National Board has rededicated itself to ensuring that information is communicated in a clear
and timely manner to all membership. The Board looks forward to working with our membership during
this transition. Feel free to contact any of us with questions or concerns.
Best Regards,
SGMP National Board

7 Smart Suitcases that are Actually Worth Your Money
By Nina Sayawat on July 20, 2016 ~ Reprinted From Smart Meetings
Meeting planners are often on the road, rushing off to site
visits or trade shows. It’s no surprise that planners and other
business travelers are constantly on the lookout for tips,
tricks and tools to make travel easier. So wouldn’t it be great
to have a suitcase that does just that?
That’s the concept behind many of the smart suitcases that
are appearing on the market these days. They boast futuristic features such as GPS tracking and mobile phone integration. But high price points—many cost upwards of $400 for a
carry-on-size—have some travelers questioning whether
they truly need a suitcase that can charge their phone. Is
smart luggage really a necessity for travelers, or is it an example of technology attempting to fix something that isn’t
broken?
Some manufacturers are breaking the mold and going beyond the typical phone charging and built-in scale features
that are quickly becoming standard in smart luggage.
just about anything. The axle-less wheels’
large diameters promote better stability and
weight distribution, leading to improved maneuverability. Made from ballistic nylon and
aerospace-grade materials, G-RO is built to
withstand rough handling. This suitcase is not
only smart—it’s also crush-proof and water
resistant.
4. Wi-fi wherever you go: For busy planners who want to check
emails wherever they are, this product is a dream come true. The
Voyager Weekender is a luxurious leather travel bag with a twist—it
offers a Wi-Fi integration option that will keep you connected no matter where you are in the United States. The wi-fi version comes with a
pocket-sized mobile hotspot that integrates seamlessly with the bag.
The weekender is equipped with thoughtfully designed compartments
that enable you to pack about five days’ worth of clothes and gear.
There’s even a separate compartment designed specifically to help
you keep gadgets and cords organized. If you’re looking for a more
compact option, take a look at the company’s Venture Backpack,
which has the same Wi-Fi features and includes a built-in tracker.

at the Radisson Hotel Fort Worth Fossil

devices are called mobile apps. Apps for Event Planning are limitless. Some examples include by

Planner and Event Check-In. There are advantages and disadvantages as with everything.
March’s meeting was on the topic of “Building Event Curriculum: Targeting your Audience” presented by Ruth Bilbo, CGMP at the Westin DFW. A curriculum is a structured document that delineates
the philosophy, goals, objectives, learning experiences and assessments that compromise an educational program. Additionally, it represents an articulation of what attendees should know and/or
be able to do at the end of the program. It is important to know who your audience is. Also, knowing what the most pressing issues, problems or desires may be.
April’s meeting topic was “Contracts: Perspectives of a Planner and a Supplier” made up of a panel
including Marie Peterson, Sally Thompson, Ruth Bilbo, CGMP and Susan Barnes held at the Courtyard & TownePlace Suites DFW Airport North/Grapevine. Knowing your contract is very important.
It can help to clarify and protect all involved in the process. Contracts
may be required by either Suppliers or Planners. A Letter of Intent helps
avoid penalties and may be required. Negotiating your event is critical. It
allows the power to rewrite the contract. Benefits of a site visit include
discussing any construction that may be in progress (the noise, parking,
restrooms, etc.). Other benefits of meeting face-to-face include discussing Food and Beverage, Audio/Visual (is there a discount for using the inhouse staff?) as well as any Security. It’s always a good idea to have a
“backup plan! Things can go wrong. Make sure to discuss the per diem
rates required by the supplier, cancellation clauses, understanding attrition, knowing what’s free of charge and don’t forget parking fees, service
charges, shipping fees, storage fees and internet for meeting space.

By: Staci McAllister
The topic for the August Meeting for the North Texas Chapter was
“Working with CVB’s”. It was held at the Irving Convention Center
on August 11, 2016. Speakers included Kelly Roche, CGMP of the
Irving Convention and Visitors Bureau and Dana Saenz of the Arlington Convention Center and Visitors Bureau. Some of the key
points discussed were how valuable CVB’s can be when planning
meetings such as locating a place for an upcoming meeting, transportation and many other important issues.

At the July meeting, we discussed the upcoming year and came up with topics
for the Calendar of meetings. We also discussed some potential Community
Service projects. Some highlights were discussing that our Chapter received
Communications of the Year Award from National as well as winning first place
for the Chapter Merit Award from National.
August Board Meeting
At the August meeting, it was reiterated to remember to solicit people to assist
with Committees. We voted to Table the Mentoring Program for the September meeting. Ruth made a motion to donate $25.00 to Patriotic Paws in
memory of Bryce Spangler as a Chapter and we all agreed. The Community
Project was chosen to collect school supplies for a deserving school. That
school is Thomas Haley Elementary in Irving, TX.
