Advisor needs advice

[honeychile]

Of course it hurts! When you were in school, did you fully cooperate with the Advisors?

Set up an appointment with whomever's responsibility it is to set up an Advisor's meeting. Tell them it's a pin attire meeting for the entire board, and you need a hand written excuse for anyone who cannot show up and why. Show up, dressed in pin attire. Hopefully, you have one room where you will stand out. Have your notebook, notes, and pass outs ready. Sit there, ready and smiling, and look at your watch every five minutes. Refuse to be drawn into conversation with anyone else, as "We're scheduled for a meeting at 7pm and I need to be prepared."

If you do not receive 50% participation within a half hour, tell the same person who set that meeting up to set up another one, the same week if possible, same rules. Talk to your superior; she'll have plenty of advice also.

Just like at work - to be an executive, you must ACT like an executive! They have you down as a patsy, and you cannot allow that to continue and still be effective!
