Great idea to make Chapter Meetings more welcoming to new members, men or women.  Have an informal tips and technique 30 minute session before the meeting starts.  Cover topics like tying on a dropper, patching waders, wading safety, how to dress a dry fly, Czech nymphing.   A NJ Member invited some new women members to an information session 30 minutes before the meeting start time, made it really informal and they loved it.  The next meeting, some of the male members joined in to learn more about some of the basics.
