What Works: Strategy #1
Keeping Members Informed GatorConnect Facebook Google Calendar/Google Docs

Bi-monthly chapter meetings 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month Email reminders PPT/Meeting Agenda E-board sits with members Change it up! Praise members!
What Works: Strategy #3
Regular E-Board Meetings E-board meets 90-minutes before each chapter
meeting E-board sometimes meets the “off” Tuesday (2nd and
4th Tuesdays)

Health Education Advocacy Workshop Research Project
Presentations at conferences Grants
What Works: Strategy #7
Training the new E-board! Getting to know and trust one another Building leadership skills Preparing for the next academic year Identifying chapter goals Identifying individual goals/standards
What Didn’t Work!
Too many social media outlets Solution: Focus on ONE outlet and stick to it! Alpha Lambda favors Facebook
Unnecessary “items” for members, usually given out at the beginning of the academic term Folders Solution: Encourage the use of personal agendas to
include ESG events and meetings instead of just using an agenda as a means to keep track of academic due dates, etc.
Future Strategies
Mid-year individual recognitions “Understudy” for physically absent executive
board officersCreating an officer position to work
specifically with online HEB majors
Summary
What has worked Keeping members informed Bi-monthly chapter meetings Regular E-board meetings High-quality experiences Improve chapter visibility Chapter professional development Training the new E-board
Future strategies Mid-year individual recognition Understudy for absent E-board officers Creating an officer position for online HEB students
Strategies that posed a challenge Too many social media outlets Finding a way to help members take note of a calendar of events
