Well, I think to start with your HQ is a great idea!I am also doing the same thing here in NC and working with my Alumnae Province President, she is a great resource!
We actually have an agenda for our first meeting May 2nd. I have sent out 100 letters with surveys about begining an Alumnae Association, the questions include things like when is a good time to meet, would you like to be on a planning board...and so on. This will let me know, before we meet, what type of group this is. We also have a range of age, I guess you have to figure out everyone's intrests and how willing they are to do what activities.
I don't think setting goals at your first meeting is too crazy, you have to figure you will not meet like a college chapter does, so when you are together you might as well make some decisions.
We are meeting at an Italian place to have a quick meeting and then a meet and greet/eat to make everyone feel a little more at ease!
Good Luck!
