Every club should strive to cultivate a positive relationship with their sponsors. As with any relationship, this requires respect and communication. It is extremely difficult to find quality people willing to volunteer their time as club sponsors. A good club sponsor warrants appreciation. The sponsors should be a part of the decision making process , not simply notified after a decision has been made .
Many sponsors have families which require their time as well.
If a club activity requires a sponsor's presence, the club should cover all expenses incurred by the sponsor, such as travel, banquet costs, and babysitting. Sponsors can often offer an experienced perspective not otherwise available in the decision making process. Sponsors are well within their rights to refuse to approve an event if they feel the activity, the location, or any other aspect of the event is not in accord with OC's Christian mission.
