Pg. 71- Mr. Conley spoke with Chantella Crosby and Anna Haynes. Chantella is now the Expansion Coordinator. Beta<br />
recently hired Jeff Wilkins, as a new member of the Sales team, and Mr. Conley had spoken with him. 16,500 plus<br />
members were brought in this year in sales. The Marketing/Sales team focus has been on building strong relationships<br />
with sponsors and schools. The bulk of Mr. Conley’s conversation was with Anna Haynes. All Marketing information was<br />
found on pg. 76-80 and listed information on the State Marketeer award, campaigns and target areas for social media,<br />
service project tiers awards and pins for the clubs for their service hours put in for the organization, all sales initiatives and<br />
development, and sales team plans for chartering new members. Marketing has also sent out emails and social pushes<br />
and branding of 5k- trying to get the name of Beta out in communities. New sponsor retention is a focus and matches with<br />
older/veteran sponsor connections. Scholarship fee was removed and Beta saw an 80% increase in applicants. Great Job<br />
by this whole team.<br />
Technology/Membership---Dr. Tim Hager<br />
The arena is awesome. All information regarding Membership was found on Page 60 of your books. Dr. Hager spoke with<br />
Melissa and Jay. Melissa expressed that the Alumni organization was up to 425 members now. Establishing local Beta<br />
Chapters, working to establish an alumni person in the state to personalize our reach. Induction Kits are being developed<br />
and will send a packet of information to the new sponsor or ones wanting to spice up their ceremonies. All IT information<br />
was found on pgs.83-86-. Dr. Hager spoke with Jay Moore, and he wanted to push to design things that kids will wear<br />
and decent polos that sponsors will wear. Jay wants to open the Beta shop more online for the rural Beta kids and with the<br />
website coming up, we need to design and market good quality apparel for Beta. Jay is showing improvements on the site<br />
as well. Pg. 83 discussed the Beta Mobile app is on its way for Beta. It is moving toward having everything right on your<br />
phone. All these worlds (Technology and Membership) are fusing together, and Dr. Hager felt good by talking to Melissa<br />
and Jay. There is an alumni event this year at Bricktown Brewery, OKC at 7 pm on Tuesday.<br />
Clarke Scott stopped to thank Dr. Tim Hager for his service. Dr. Hager feels that serving this year in Beta was the<br />
“Victory Lap” of his career, and he achieved closure. He feels Dr. Dare will take Missouri Beta to the next level and it is in<br />
good hands! Dr. Hager now gets to linger behind the scenes on the mic now. MO believes in rolling off the board when you<br />
are not teaching or active as an administrator, and they are sticking with that policy, but they leave behind a strong base.<br />
Merchandise---Mr. Jerry Newton<br />
This department was in flux. But, Bobby felt good about Bradley Graham. He will be in on Sunday night as the new<br />
Director of Merchandise. Bobby gave a little background on Bradley and was excited about the transition. Trent Gregg is<br />
the Assistant Director. In the past, the director has been on the road and that has not been effective. Trent will provide the<br />
onsite supervisory role. This role and the new team is solid and will have a system in place to be more effective.<br />

year and they reviewed the Raymond James report. $343, 000 are in the investment fund right now. John has been<br />
