ESW-Pitt Restructuring
Last year …
We had sporadic and poorly announced general body
meetings in ever-changing locations to which nobody ever came…so nobody ever talked to
anyone else!
Our project teams didn’t realize they were part of a bigger organization.
And our campus didn’t realize we
existed
What we did about it:•invoked a sense of ESW as a community
•made sure members felt acknowledged, appreciated, and busy!
•Interacted with our campus
•Developed a plan to leave behind an active and aware leadership
Turning ESW into a community
• Regular GBMs•Always started with project updates•Regularly provided snacks
•Got T-shirts•Threw social events
Didn’t see any decrease in membership halfway through the semester!
Acknowledging Members
•Always acknowledged help in GBMs
•Encouraged members to take on new projects and incentives … they are the future leaders of the organization!
•Made sure all officers and project leaders played an important role
Interacted with Campus
•Threw tabling events
•Kept everyone informed• about campus events
•Threw a fundraiser
•Submitted grant proposals for smaller projects on campus
Will leave behind leaders
•Plan to create a binder full of simple how-tos
and•Pick leaders well before summer
Survey feedback “I like this club because things
actually get done.
Great energy
Sweet improvements from last year!
I’ve learned so much
Thanks for listening!
