Morning sessions allow people to schedule a short time at the beginning of the day to improve their skills and participate in the association. In this format, the vendor would be asked to pay for the cost of the meeting, room, and refreshments in order to have the opportunity to present to the membership. Afternoon meetings permit people to attend by leaving work a bit early and staying for dinner to network if they have the time and interest. This format tends to cater to professionals that do not have opportunities to participate in lunch or dinner meetings. All members of the chapter must be or become members of the international association.
Some chapters charge for their meetings.
You can also have breakfast meetings. Most chapters have a monthly meeting. Although recommended, it is not required. Some chapters have large quarterly meetings, like mini-conferences. Usually if snacks or food are available to members and guests, you can arrange for a meeting place that allows food and bevreages to be consumed.
