Continuity Folders/Binders

[jewelzeyes]

Right now, when a new officer is elected, all they have to go on each semester is a little description of what they are supposed to do and maybe if they take the initiative, they can get info from those that have held the position in the past.

So, I want to implement continuity folders for each of the positions, especially "Fundraising" "Community Service" "Professional Activities" etc. I know other fraternities and sororities do this so if I could get some help on this project it would be much appreciated.

I can't find anything online about this. Am I even calling it the right thing?

Sounds great to me. If possible, if you really want to have continuity (and perhaps some donations), contact your alums. Find alums who are willing to advise each individual officer.

Have these alums take an active role in new officer orientation, training and support.

Alumni involvement almost never hurts.

Each chair in my chapter has a binder. In it is the official manual from HQ about the position. It also contains a feedback sheet from the person who held the chair which includes:

*What things/events the person implemented for the chair.
*Whether the ideas/events were successful. Why/why not?
*Ideas to improve these events/things to make them more successful.
*Any documents the previous chairholder wanted to incude.

Our offices don't have binders because they each have an official one that they receive when they attend leadership institute (which is required for all chapter officers).
