President’s Message:
During this last part of the semester, days and weeks seem shorter. It’s going to go by in a flash. We are up to our eyeballs in work and the truth is we aren’t getting enough done. I feel that I could have done better to assemble the tribe every week with a more solid outline for the task details.
The truth is that by the time I get around to calling you guys, it’s too late. So what do I do? I try to get things done the only way I know how, I do it myself. Since that isn’t the right way to be a team member, I want to say that I will do better to get a hold of you guys WAY in advance, but you have to come through and do the things you say you want and can do.
I realize clients don’t always get back with you on projects, so you can see it from my point of view. It’s a lot of work. You have to be proactive and pursue the things you need to accomplish your tasks. So how do we accomplish this? We take on less tasks, so we can do a better job.
This is a review of what we were walking into this semester:
When you were 15, Anchorage Museum, US Alpine Skiing Championships.
As it stands, we should have dropped one or two of these projects with the amount of people we have, honestly. We should have immediately focused our efforts to internal functions and recruitment.
We took on the JPC End of Year Social/Formal, the Professional Development and Speed Networking as internal development without dropping the other commitments first. So now we have opted to direct our attention by focusing on the End of Year formal, which I will refer to as the JPC Spring Chicken Dinner Thing, until someone comes up with a name for it.
We now need to focus internal to the Chapter to get things rolling for fall. I have started to divide the tasks out for the rest of the semester. We still have too much to do. We have to drop or postpone one more project so we can get the essentials done.
That includes recruitment, recruitment, recruitment….need I say more? All of us will work at this while we build what has slowly been weathered away.
Majority present has voted to postpone both the speed networking event and professional development workshops until next semester.
We will now focus on:
Museum Project & JPC Spring Chicken Dinner Thing.
Recruitment Committee:
We need to target younger students and educate the highschoolers. We need to have everything in place by the time they get here in the fall. We have to plan the previews as well. That means getting all of our pubs in a row.
