Leading With Values and the Chapter Evaluation

I know that school is just getting started but before you know it exams will be here and you will be passing your officer materials off to someone new. An important part of being an officer is making sure you are completing the requirements for your office. Since Leading With Values was restructured this year I wanted to give you some insight that would hopefully help you when trying to complete your LWV requirements.

-First, I think that as an Exec you should sit down and set a goal of where you want your chapter to be ranked. This will help you in knowing how many seminars you need to plan on the calendar.

-Here is the number of seminars that must be completed for each ranking:
-Pi Level (every chapter should be trying to reach Pi)-6 seminars-one from each value PLUS the Values Refresher
-Beta Level-all of Pi Level PLUS three additional seminars.
-Phi Level-all of Pi and Beta Level PLUS three additional seminars.

-An important factor to remember is that Seminars WILL NOT count unless online feedback is submitted. I had a lot of you say in monthly reports that seminars were done in the Spring but feedback has not been submitted. Your CE seminars will come to me from Headquarters so it is very important that feedback is submitted! If you have a question about how many seminars were counted from the Spring please contact me.

-As VPMD you are responsible for scheduling all seminars but you do not have to present them all. Let the chapter vote for a presenter they would like to listen to or ask a group of respected seniors to present. Think outside the box and make it fun for the chapter to hear these speakers.

-Are you having trouble getting the online feedback submitted? Here are a few tips
-think about offering a small thank you for taking the time-what about bringing cookies to the girls that volunteered
-form a LWV Committee made up of a few volunteers from each class, these are the women that will always submit feedback-then you won't have to ask for new girls each time
-bring two laptops to the seminar and have the feedback submitted afterwards-then there will be no chasing members down!
