That's great that you actually have an agenda and try to follow it. Not happening at my cluster meetings. Even when I request a topic it doesn't happen. I asked for a talk about recruiting for today, and she brought me a cassette tape to listen to. Then we talked about the why bag, which I know all about, from here on CS and conference. That took about 5 minutes. Anyway, I don't even have a cassette tape player.

Yes, I'm trying to do the OPPOSITE of what my director used to do (when she had meetings). I had two of my new recruits at the meeting, and want their time spent with me to be worth it. They just left, and said they felt it was a great meeting! Thanks again for the agenda, Deb - can you send me one monthly until I promote? 
Maybe I'll just email my ED - she wants me to promote, so I'm sure she'll help me out!
