I think one big thing that is currently going on in the office of MEVP is Well Balanced Person-- under the Leadership Chair on the MEVP team. You can plan as many TME's as you want, but they are really pushing this new idea- probably to help avoid overprogramming.

I am sure you collegiate members are aware of this- but basically what they have done is broken most of the programming down into classes. Each class has a coordinator that oversees the programming for her class. Within those classes you are to hold workshops that are geared towards women that age...but all classes are invited to come. Right now we do not have any Freshman- but our Sophomore Class held a workshop on ?(trying to remember), our Junior class held a Financial Workshop, and our Senior class held an Aerobics/Wellness workshop. Since it is newer we were not exactly sure what to do and only held those three plus the required workshops- Alpha Delta Pi for a Lifetime and the All Campus TME (we did a stress management workshop the week leading up to exams in the spring-- it was super cool!). The Leadership Chair's notebook has mannnny suggestions for workshops for each class. It really worked out well for us this fall.

So my suggestion to you is:
1.Come up with workshop ideas for each class
2. Plan an awesome All Campus TME
3. Spice up Alpha Delta Pi for a Lifetime
4. Come up with new ideas for Prides
5. Plan the best Chapter Retreat anyone has ever seen

You can always plan non-class TMEs for the chapter-- but remember you do not want to overprogram them. For example- if you held the Breast Cancer Awareness one- you could make that an All-Campus or All-Greek TME. Meet with your outgoing MEVP for help and get a feel from the chapter to see what they are interested in too!

Can you tell I am a Membership Education Advisor!! Actually, I am the new Chapter Advisor-- your new Chapter Province Director at Miami is whose place I took!

ETA: You are required to do a Ritual Review Workshop for the entire chapter each year. You can make it more indepth and also add history info to the workshop. This way you can do the workshop you wanted to do and fulfill a requirement at the same time!
