Let's talk about these one by one to see how they affect your club. Every organization needs a purpose, or, in organizational jargon, goals and objectives. When the purpose of an organization is clearly stated, it gives direction to a group. It also serves as a guide for evaluating programs and group decisions. If an organization is formally organized, its goals and objectives should be included in its by-laws.
Clubs have various purposes.
It may be to learn new things. Or perhaps your club seeks to be both social and educational. Whatever the purpose, you need to have it in mind before you begin to plan your program. When you have a purpose defined, you're ready to plan a long-term program based on the goals and objectives of your organization. Club officers or a special planning committee may plan the long-term program.
