New VST Structure

AGDLynn · #1 01-30-2007, 08:10 PM

Alpha Gamma Delta Fraternity is proud to introduce the new structure of the Volunteer Service Team. The Fraternity is excited to provide some of its most dedicated sisters-its volunteers--with this progressive new approach to the volunteer system.

Go to www.alphagammadelta.org for more info.
********************
GTau goes from Area F, Mid-South 1 to Area I, Province 36. We're teamed with Ga Tech and Mercer colleigate chapters and Columbus/Phenix City Alumnae Chapter (GA).

Most of the groups look fairly understandable but I'm amused with how Area I, Province 35 got some Ga collegiate/alumnae chapters and Ft. Lauderdale & Sarasota Alumnae Clubs. Interesting road trip, lol. Must be because we have so many alumnae chapters/clubs in Fla.

QUESTIONS....you KNOW I have them, lol.

When does this actually go into effect..now or July 1st? So for now we continue to send our EC reports to the current Area Coordinator and PDC?

I see that there is a VST application link so the chapters/clubs will have to wait for a few months to see who are their VST contacts?

I got the great VST video via email - can someone here tell me if it went to collegiate presidents/CAs, alumnae chapter/club presidents, VST, etc. or any Alpha Gam with a valid email (to spread the word). Just wondering so I don't have to re-send to everyone I know, lol.

I know it takes A LOT of time and dedication to serve on VST, IC, etc. THANK Y'ALL!

Sometimes this happened also because an alumnae chapter/club had adopted a chapter in that province and, since the idea is a community of alumnae and collegians working together, it made more sense for them to be in the same province/area with the same VST working with them. You may note, there is a Province Director, not a PDC and PDA, but one PD for all of those chapters.

I see that there is a VST application link so the chapters/clubs will have to wait for a few months to see who are their VST contacts?Yes, VST appointments are two year appointments and we have to reapply every two years, so you never *really* knew who it would be for the next biennium. I strongly encourage anybody interested to apply although, of course, there are no guarantees

I was lucky enough to be involved with some of the planning for this new structure. I think it is THE BEST change that the Fraternity has implemented since I've been Initiated. I'm so excited about it and can't wait to see it in action! Additionally, this change is why it will be so important for VST and CAs to attend the training at Duquesne in June. This IC is so progressive and I love them to pieces.

I was over at the past GTau prez's house tonight and she mentioned that she got it and LOVED IT!

We didn't know if it went to everyone so she's sending it to the new CP.

GTau has been adopted by Sarasota so I guess we have to share them, lol.

They've been WONDERFUL!!

greeklawgirl · #4 01-30-2007, 11:41 PM

I'm quite excited about this as well! I love that the focus is on action at the local level, and that we are pairing alumnae and collegiate chapters into entire provinces instead of bifurcating them. We are all Alpha Gamma Deltas and we should be working as one whole team!

In other news, if I am lucky enough to be reselected to serve on the VST, I wonder where on earth I will end up serving. lol

Maybe you'll get GTau!

I need to know the info fast so Deanna was nice enough to email me.

Preliminary information will be mailed in the next few weeks and registration materials will be mailed in mid-April. There is no registration fee to attend. You will be responsible for travel costs and any incidentals during your stay. Sleeping accommodations (double occupancy), meals and materials will be provided at no cost. The registration deadline is May 15.

On the collegiate level, I think it is limited to Chapter/Finance/Recruitment Advisors.

BTW, Airtran is having a super web special.

I have a credit on AirTran from the trip to Florida I couldn't take last summer while my mom was in the hospital. I guess that timeline means that VST appointments will happen by mid-April?!? Time will tell!

I think I might just end up driving to Pittsburgh - Toledo to Pittsburgh really isn't a bad drive at all. (Less than 4 hours, I believe.)

I figure I wouldn't really save any time flying, by the time you factor in driving to/from the airport, waiting for baggage, flight time, etc.

GtownGirl98 · #9 03-07-2007, 10:59 AM

I'm going to drive it also. It is only 6 or so hours from here... I think. I have to mapquest it to make sure.

greeklawgirl · #10 03-07-2007, 01:56 PM

Ack, I'm glad I saw this. I need to start looking for tickets pronto.

AGDee · #11 03-21-2007, 08:40 PM

So yeah, I got a phone call and I will be at the VLC in PA this summer. I have a new area to coordinate! I will have the new Area E, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and the two Michigan chapters in the Upper Peninsula.

AGDLynn · #12 03-21-2007, 09:25 PM

I had no doubt!

GtownGirl98 · #13 03-22-2007, 04:47 PM

Congrats. I had heard today that IHQ would be calling everyone over the next week and then they are suppose to post it all online on April 2. I'm hoping that my area and province won't change much... I like my VST people a lot!

AGDLynn · #14 03-22-2007, 06:19 PM

Me 2!

I know we'll be getting a new Province Director b/c ours resigned a couple of months ago.

greeklawgirl · #15 03-23-2007, 04:59 PM

I received a tentative assignment about 2 weeks ago but I'm keeping mum about it until I see it posted online. Things are always liable to change (but I hope it doesn't because I am really excited about my community)!
