Donna stated the elections are in November, no chapter meetings in June and July and the Chapter is working on certification points.
Lori Newman sat up a video titled: “Negotiation” by Margaret Neale, a graduate professor at Stanford University Graduate School of Business. She provided insight on negotiation strategies. The goal is not to get a deal; but get a good deal. What are the alternatives if it fail. You need to know the reservation price. Think about your achievements, access what you want with benefits, the counterpart interest and engage with the counterpart for a package issue and solutions. Your expectation will drive behavior. Negotiation is an independent process and you can say no; the other side may say, lets talk. Whatever you want, try and negotiate. You may not be successful all the time but you can ask. When you negotiate, you get more of what you want. Women out perform men when negotiating. Margaret gave an example on how a woman negotiated a job offer. Do your research and be prepared. Donna thanked Lori for the video.
Drawing for the free lunch for August, 2014 was ticket number 896.
The meeting adjourned at 1:10 p.m.

Dalphine Clack
