We started alternating business chapter meetings with programming meetings. Programming can be on topics that will benefit the members, or subset groups of members. For example, to benefit everyone might be a program on personal safety or self-defense, or on womens' health issues. A program to benefit a subset might be resume writing, interviewing skills or etiquette.
To communicate any important chapter business or provide reminders, a sheet of paper with announcements was passed around the room during the programming meetings. That way chapter business could still be addressed, to an extent.
This way the members knew that it wasn't going to be a weekly "drag".
