What Not to Do

  • Assume you know everything. Do not make assumptions that your goals for the club match what the members want. Listen to and learn from others. Be open to suggestions.
  • Make drastic changes without discussion.
    Consult first with the club’s Executive Committee.
  • Do too many things at once. Start with a few simple goals and a plan to execute them. Later, consider adding additional goals.
  • Wait to do something until asked. Be proactive and communicate regularly with the Club ­President to review expectations.
  • Never ask for help. Avoid burnout by asking for help before you get overwhelmed. Encourage others to be part of the team.
  • Skip meetings. Be a good example. Keep giving speeches. Be present and show members that
    you care.
