I think Kelly hit the nail on the head. Many Executive Offices are still not exactly sure how they want to handle AI, or just have only the basics of a program started. Because of this, most alumnae aren't sure if they should be proactive with AI or not. If a collegiate chapter needs to be involved, they are the most clueless at AI.
We
all need to be educated on the Alumnae Initiation process: either told how AI works for our own GLO (ie: how rare or open it should be), or why our GLO
doesn't involve itself in AI.
There are some really good reasons to develop an AI program, such as the previously stated need for Advisors on rural campuses. There are also some bad reasons to do so. Personally, I would rather know my EO's point of view prior to posting my own agenda - and the first part of this is educating ALL members, from EO down to New Members on the GLO's policy.
