Brown Club of Oregon

Past Events

Holiday Party

The speakers at the holiday party were apparently very good, but went on for a little too long.

Perhaps have only one speaker in the future, since two seemed long or 8-minute limit total for each speaker.

Professor Carter Lecture

Thirteen people attended the Professor Carter lecture. It was a great lecture and we discussed how we could get higher attendance levels.

For the lectures, maybe charge $$ for events to lock in more members, make them RSVP, create a phone tree calling people to promote, and email the Ivy Plus list (for lectures only). Perhaps set up a committee of three people in charge of getting attendance levels up. Gail will spearhead getting RSVP’s for future events.
