Hospitality Chair (Membership) Akane Takijiri
The Hospitality Committee is responsible for assisting with the set up of monthly meetings. The committee serves as a liaison with the contact at the country club regarding meeting attendance and room set up.
The most important and best function is to greet members and guests as they arrive at the meeting. This is fun and essential as it helps to offer a warm and welcoming feel and to assist people with getting oriented to the room and the meeting as they arrive.

Interested chapter members must adhere to the application process and will be selected by the committee.
