BYLAWS UPDATE ASHLEY VASSELL, REGION F COLLEGIATE SENATOR

REGION F SENATOR CONTACT INFO SENATOR: Jennifer Lynch SENATOR: Karen Warren COLLEGIATE SENATOR: Ashley Vassell

WINTER SENATE MEETING (2/1/14) 1.Bylaws Amendments results S1403: Remove International Member Coordinator – Passed S1405: Electronic voting on bylaws – Failed S1405: One RCR per region – Failed S1407: Nominating chair to be elected by BOD – Failed S1408: Nominating committee Deputy chair - Passed There was discussion about most of these… 1.First SWE eBook planned launch end of this FY From Mega Issue on Work & Life Integration

RCR AMENDMENT Overview Changes Region Collegiate Team Structure/Responsibilities and requires only 1 RCR per region Places RCCE as voting member on Region Council Background The task force worked to develop a strong leadership structure for the RCT that limits sharing of roles but instead focuses on equality in workload distribution to clearly state roles and responsibilities within each of the three roles of the RCT (RCR, RCCE, RCS) The recommendations include modifying the responsibilities of our region collegiate leaders to allow them to spend their time acting as mentors to collegiate section presidents, and as SWE ambassadors. Responsibilities such as tracking which sections have updated bylaws and EIN information will be removed from these leaders and handled elsewhere

RCR AMENDMENT (CONT.) By redefining the responsibilities, the time commitment for each of the three positions will be more uniform. The new responsibilities of the representative and communications editor positions have been well-defined by the task force, so each collegiate leader has clear expectations for their duties and there is no overlap or sharing of roles as we currently have Even with realigning some of the responsibilities, the RCRs will still likely have to field a lot of administrative questions from their collegiate sections which could easily bog down the RCRs again, particularly in regions that have large numbers of collegiate sections.

RCR AMENDMENT (CONT.) Overall Findings 1.Regular communication Lead all calls/meetings Send s to presidents Answer general questions 2.Society structure Facilitate professional/collegiate interaction 3.SWE Ambassador 4.Best practice sharing 5.Representation Region Council (voting member) 6.Conflict resolution Assist sections with conflict resolution through assistance from Region leadership Revised Structure 1.Remove all business ends from the RCT roles - have Professional member leadership or Society HQ manage: Bylaws EINs Financially struggling sections Sections not in good standing 2.Develop a synergy between RCT and CLCC Currently operating separately but have many of the same goals 3.General consensus that RCR is overworked and RCCE and RCS are under-utilized 4.Discourage sharing of roles between individuals – instead distribute the workload

MARCH SENATE MEETING HIGHLIGHTS Environmental Scan – Betty Shanahan, Karen Horting A yearly assessment at the Society level to interpret the environment in which we operate New focus: How to promote STEM and diversity despite other global and economic issues Recognize disruptions to Associations vs. Technical Societies: Internet of Things, Manufacturing and 3-D Printing, Cloud, Energy, Materials Areas of Leverage as SWE Leaders: Free associations: Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. Join the discussions, add content!

OFFICER TRANSITIONS

An officer transition refers to the process by which one officer in an organization is replaced by another, along with the breadth of knowledge and information necessary to be successful in that position. New Officer Elected Previous Officer Shadowed & Key Information Passed On New Officer Assumes Role

SHADOWING/INFORMATION EXCHANGE In order to be successful, the new officer needs to understand what their new responsibilities are! This should be done through 2-3 weeks of shadowing the previous officer and passing along a binder or electronic copy containing the following information: Officer job description Resources Event reports Budget for events & purchases made Passwords to /website accounts (as appropriate) Helpful notes (contacts/catering vendors) Typical schedule for events responsible for throughout the year Advice for new officer (successes & challenges)

GROW NEW LEADERSHIP TEAM 1.Schedule dates to get to know each other Movie night Laser Tag/Mini Golf/Bowling Potluck/Dessert party 2.Schedule a meeting to define the upcoming year’s expectations Proposed budget Proposed calendar of events Review current status of section Short-term goals (1-3 months) Long-term goals (semester/year) “The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don't play together, the club won't be worth a dime.” - Babe Ruth
