Try to include a new announcement each day with a different animal rights fact. You should also approach the campus radio TV stations, as well as the student newspaper about running an announcement about your group's first meeting. This does not mean that the steering committee will define the whole agenda for the duration of the school year. Rather, the committee will develop a base of ideas to draw upon when the group is officially launched, regardless of whether they are actually used or not. The First Meeting Involve everyone.
People come to animal rights meetings with a varying level of knowledge, experience, and commitment.
Stick to the agenda. The first meeting should have a very clearly-recognized facilitator and a formal agenda, as should all subsequent meetings, generally speaking. The facilitator should structure the meeting and keep things moving. Animal rights literature on a range of issues should be available at the meeting. Supplying free vegan food, if possible, creates a welcoming environment.
