The more people who do things, no matter how small, the more productive the organization. An essential part of keeping a chapter alive involves maintaining communication between members, and between the chapter and the administration, Advisor, sponsors, and speakers. Members should be informed at least a week in advance of upcoming meetings. Preferably, an announcement should be made at the previous meeting. Executive members should take responsibility of phoning members.
Volunteers can help with postering for meetings and special events.
A list of volunteers should be drawn up at the beginning of the academic year. It is important that the chapter assign a contact person, usually the secretary, whose duty would be to maintain correspondence with the campus administration, potential speakers, and sponsors. Speakers should be contacted many months in advance and a formal letter sent to them, confirming their attendance at a particular meeting. A thank-you letter should also be sent no later than one month after the talk. Potential sponsors should also receive a formal letter requesting a donation.
