27 RUNNING YOUR ORGANIZATION
ATTRACTING MEMBERS Know and understand your organization purpose and mission. Ask the current members’ input and set goals how many more people do you want/need? What talents are missing that the organization currently needs? What characteristics, interests should new members have? How are you going to advertise your club? How are you going to accept new members? What type of time commitment should be expected? Are there students from specific majors who will benefit from or add to the organization? Don’t underestimate networking and technologies. New members are easier to attract if: Past leaders and members reflect a positive attitude toward the org and have a general good feeling about the org The group appears organized and knows what it is doing. They feel welcomed and see that support and encouragement are provided. There is opportunity for them to learn and to get involved quickly. Student Organization Board Training Fall 2011

28 RUNNING YOUR ORGANIZATION
ATTRACTING MEMBERS Keep your Pioneer Place website UP TO DATE AT ALL TIMES! The organization list is viewable to the public, so prospective students can go on and see what clubs we have on campus. They can see the club descriptions, profiles, and events, but they cannot see your personal information. Sign up for the annual Fall Semester Student Involvement Fair hosted by Student Activities! Members are not just numbers, they’re there for a purpose and they need to be appreciated! Student Organization Board Training Fall 2011

29 RUNNING YOUR ORGANIZATION
MANAGING MEMBERS Leader should make sure Pioneer Place roster is current with names, s, phone numbers, positions, and any other information relevant to the organization (t-shirt sizes, class year, campus address, committee placements, etc.) Publicly recognize accomplished goals, successful events, completed tasks and hard work. Keep people accountable to their responsibilities. Be consistent and fair; don’t be a dictator. Develop meaningful relationships with members Make sure leaders are kind, social and approachable. Student Organization Board Training Fall 2011

30 RUNNING YOUR ORGANIZATION
RETAINING MEMBERS Keep contact with members. Hold interest by giving people tasks and trusting them with them. Most people will stay motivated when they can take ownership for projects. Hold a special welcoming event. Plan a social event, a special introduction. Recognize that some won’t come back because of other commitments or interests. That’s ok! Orient your new members. Encourage old and new members to form bonds by using icebreakers and teambuilding activities. Remember the new members’ names! Follow through with s, post goals, summarize meeting outcomes. Provide reminders of responsibilities, be patient but firm. Recognize and show appreciation for your members both publicly and in private. Have fun together! Know when it is time to work and time to play. No one wants to feel like involvement in an organization is a burden. Student Organization Board Training Fall 2011

31 RUNNING YOUR ORGANIZATION
RUNNING MEETINGS Define the purpose of the meeting Develop and stick to the agenda Record meeting minutes and distribute to all members Give members a chance to discuss and evaluate goals and objectives Keep members updated on current events and ask for their input Delegate tasks and trust that members will follow through Incorporate member appreciation and recognition for hard work and successes. Pull everyone’s resources and opinions together for decision making. Student Organization Board Training Fall 2011

32 RUNNING YOUR ORGANIZATION
MEETING MINUTES Used for historical and recollection information Should be outlined by meeting agenda Include meeting start and end time Details about what was discussed, advice for future, progress of tasks and events Include tasks that were delegated, who they were given to, any committees that were formed, and deadlines that need to be met **Upload on Pioneer Place under Documents** Student Organization Board Training Fall 2011

33 RUNNING YOUR ORGANIZATION
ELECTIONS Plan for enough time to advertise the positions available, campaign time, and voting time. Always consult your constitution’s rules and laws about elections. New officers should be chosen BEFORE the previous officers’ term ends. ***ALL ORGS SHOULD HAVE ELECTIONS COMPLETED BEFORE THE RE-REGISTRATION PROCESS DEADLINE*** If your org needs help with changing your election process, reach out to Student Activities or Student Senate! Student Organization Board Training Fall 2011

34 RUNNING YOUR ORGANIZATION
OFFICER TRANSITION Take advantage Pioneer Place for “handing over” documents. This CANNOT be just a “hand over the binder” action, the new officers have to be trained in how the position operates, EVEN if they were in the org already. Previous officers should share knowledge, resources, contact information, paperwork, standard procedures, deadlines, timelines, responsibilities, org expectations, etc. It’s a good idea to hold a meeting with both the previous and the new officers and members. Don’t forget to introduce the new officers to the org advisor! Student Organization Board Training Fall 2011

35 RUNNING YOUR ORGANIZATION
MANAGING A BUDGET READ the Student Senate Finance Committee Supplement at ntlibrary All orgs start out with a $0 budget You must ask for money and be approved Constant application process (no deadlines) Runs by student reimbursement (you pay and we pay you back) or college purchase order for larger totals (through Student Activities). Senate Comptroller has office hours in 105B Strebel Or ask for a copy at Student Organization Board Training Fall 2011

36 RUNNING YOUR ORGANIZATION
EVENT HOSTING Look presentable Wear organization apparel if you have it Wear nametags to identify yourself as part of the organization Welcome people to your event Be on time (which means early) Stay after to help clean or tear down Student Organization Board Training Fall 2011

37 RUNNING YOUR ORGANIZATION
COLLABORATION You don’t have to re-invent the wheel, use your peers and other clubs and organizations to bounce ideas around and plan an event together! Benefits of collaboration: Less work for one org More people to reach out to Better turnout For any orgs that want to collaborate and use the Student Organization Collaboration Agreement, see the Student Activities Forms page (collaboration agreement is not required for collaboration events, but is very helpful with setting terms and rules) Student Organization Board Training Fall 2011

38 RUNNING YOUR ORGANIZATION

To assist other students in the organization in skill development Willingness to share responsibility with other group members. Make sure all group activities are documented and historically saved.

40 RUNNING YOUR ORGANIZATION
TIPS TO SHARE WITH YOUR ADVISOR Learn as much about the group as you can. Get to know the organization’s purpose, how it was formed, and the organization’s place in the campus culture. Get to know the leader and let the leader get to know you. Help that person understand both your roles as an advisor and their roles as a leader. Develop confidence in each other. Meet with the leader before group meetings begin and discuss the agendas and any current issues or concerns. Observe the leader with the group. How does he/she function in the group? What type of personality problems does the group have? What are the strengths and weaknesses of its various members as well as its leader? Find out what the leader has observed about this area, comment on strengths you have seen, and offer suggestions on weaknesses you may have noticed. Student Organization Board Training Fall 2011
