  11. Chapter Town Hall Meeting • The Purpose of TABPHE Town Hall Meetings is to: • “Bring Educators and Community Together to Effect Change”. They give us a chance to bring to the table state and local issues that affect students gaining access to Higher Ed. And challenge the audience to be the solution to the problems; helping with resources of human capital. Together we come along side students to assist in achieving their educational goals.

  12. Structure of the Meeting • TABPHE Town Halls are bi-annual events hosted in October and February by every local chapter, concerning two pre-determined critical issues. The significance of each Town Hall is that the same critical issue is addressed at the same time, across the entire state at every local chapter.   • In the traditional “town hall” style, the entire community would be invited, and at least half of the program would involve the audience as program participants, with a host facilitating this interactive process. The audience would ask general questions, and make comments on the topic either as individuals or as representatives of an organization/group. Encourage audience participation, but not just list problems, for the Town Hall is a solution-driven event. • As Chapter President be aware as the audience brings up problems, don’t’ stop there. “We all can make a list of problems, but challenge the people to Be the Solution”.

  13. Structure of the Meeting • As Chapter President you have the freedom as a local chapter to determine if the program would be organized as a panel discussion, or use a keynote speaker, or show film/news clips for critique, or any other structure according to the chapter's own local style and liking. The typical TABPHE Town Hall would last 1-2 hours, and may include refreshments. • As Chapter President challenge the audience ( College students , Faculty, Staff, or Guess), to give back to their surrounding community i.e. mentor, read to a student, start and afterschool program in a school, church, community center, on their campus or someone home. • As Chapter President challenge the audience to use their influence, strengths-whither in math, writing, science, reading, or business professionals.

  14. Structure of the Meeting • As Chapter President let your school administrators, staff and students know that TABPHE is a resource for them and ask for their support and membership. • As Chapter President encourage the audience to join TABPHE as a General Member, Life Time Member or for Institutional Membership. Have on hand what each offers and tell them the information can be electronically sent. • As Chapter President you should assign someone to make sure you get everyone contact information. • As Chapter President it is most important that a summary of each Town Hall is reported to the TABPHE V.P. Programming, in an effort to capture and act upon creative solutions resulting from the program.
