Hey guys,
In our last officers' meeting, VP of Community Outreach Andrew Chang came up with a good idea on how to stream-line weekly meetings in order to avoid long, drawn out sessions. This plan involves delegating different topics on the agenda to different officers, instead of one person going through the entire agenda point by point. This helps to mix things up a bit, and allows for each individual officer to focus on his or her particular topic. In the beginning of the meeting, each officer will briefly go over the main points of his or her topic to the entire club, with the everyone taking no more than 15 min or so total. Then we would move onto the second part of the meeting, in which individuals who are interested in topics that they heard during the initial overview can then go to the respective officer and talk to them individually or in a small group instead of having the entire club having to wait. This streamlining strategy would be effective for when the club is involved with multiple small events going on, as people who are not involved with a certain event or activity do not have to wait around for things to finish up before they can get to work on what they need to get done. This is by no means a full proof system, and will probably take some getting used to, but hopefully itll save us some time in getting things done as a club.
