As a state officer team, we realized that there was a need for a more “whole” organization, so to speak. Part of being a state officer is meeting the needs of members in our respective regions and in the whole state. As many of you know, the state officer team has started an innovative new program to encourage inter-chapter communication and idea sharing. We give you the Presidents Council!
Here is how it works: every chapter in each region (for us the Blue Mountain Region), chooses a representative. It does not have to be the chapter president; however we figured that that would be the most likely scenario, thus the name. After the lucky representative is chosen, the adviser submits their contact information to the region vice president (aka me). After that is done, I compile a list and regularly meet with the council. We meet about once a month (usually via conference call) and we discuss a variety of issues depending what is appropriate for the given situation. (i.e. In September, we discussed recruitment practices and ideas, this month we are discussing fundraising).
After we meet, I send a list to Mary, and she puts our ideas on the website. Then everyone can see what the best practices are in each subject for every region!
What I’m trying to say is, if your chapter doesn’t currently have a PC representative, please speak with your adviser about appointing one. Who knows, it could be you!
As always-keep in touch!
It's a blog for those of us lucky enough to be a part of this great region to connect, idea share, and network with one another.
