Houston: Using a Mobile Mic to Capture Content
To provide more meaningful, targeted marketing messages, the chapter purchased an iRig microphone that plugs into Apple and Android devices for on-the-go content development. The tool works with a cell phone to capture testimonials for the chapter’s website, YouTube channel, monthly events, weekly emails, marketing for future events, and sponsorship opportunities. The mobile mic allows the chapter to do voiceovers for its presentations, capture better quality audio for presentations and other e-learning, and provide live feeds for programs. The mic has increased the chapter’s social media presence through custom, short videos on its website.
The SOS program helps chapters improve through finding and sharing easy-to-use ideas, resources, and practices.

Beginning in 2018, the following changes go into effect to streamline joint membership activities:
• Add participating in the chapter membership on the ATD Store program in addition to sharing joint membership best practices (whether on NAC area calls, through the Sharing Our Success (SOS) program, or at ALC) as recommended activities to make a list of 20 recommended joint membership activities.
• Eliminate foundational activities, making no one activity required for completion over others.
• Decrease the number of minimum activities from 13 to 10 to make tracking and completion of activities more manageable for chapter leaders.
