Best Practices of Alumni Chapters

Have a clear vision.
Have an organized, supported, and self-sufficient committee.
Have a minimum of three individuals on your committee. You can view and add to your board/committee on alumni tools by clicking the Leadership Roster page.
Hold regular and consistent meetings/respect committee member's time
Begin Planning early
Create a calendar with:
- Meetings
- Activities/Events
- Service Projects
- Media management
  - Plan ahead when you want emails, so you're not scrambling at the last minute.
  - Plan your social media schedule. People are more likely to follow pages that post consistently with accurate information.
Keep Organized Up-to-Date Records
Stay organized and keep track of what you discussed in your meetings.
Keep records of what people have completed for events so no one is doing work for something twice.
Stay in budget and keep a careful track of finances.
Strategic Plan for Future Success
- Begin with chapter mission and goal
- Set objectives: specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, time-bound
- Report, review, revise
