Leaders Have Vision Part 2

Meeting Structure:

The way you plan your meetings should coincide with your master plans.

After your retreat you know you need to have your people meeting in committees or teams to get things done.

A lot of sororities do this well by having committee meetings on the same day as chapter meetings. A lot of Fraternities do not. We rely on people to meet outside a meeting on their own and there is often problems with this.

If this becomes an issue you can either have committee meetings before the Formal meeting or perhaps alternate work meetings with formal meetings. One every other week.

Every fourth meeting should have a review of the plan in it and a prep for the next three weeks.

Plan a midsemester min-retreat to evalaute stuff and tweak your programs, make it only three or four hours, provide food.

The key here it to try and tighten the ship. And keep problems from blindsiding you that was why it was important to set up the chapter retreat and basic plan before the semester started.

Have a Winter Chapter retreat for evaluation and more planning.

Always try and program a fun component into these things.
