The International Membership and Outreach Committee
addressed the methods of starting a Chapter, discussed improvements
made on SWA brochures, tri-folds, and booklets, and created guidelines
and suggestions for different activities Chapters may want to participate
in.
Starting a Chapter is easy. Rosalinda, the Committee Chair presented
the steps for beginning a Chapter to the membership, and also announced
that the information to start a Chapter was on the website. On the
web, the SWA Constitution, and examples of two other schools' Bylaws
are provided as well as many other promotional materials. The Membership
and Publicity committee announced that every Chapter's bylaws must
included in the Standard SWA constitution.
Student members on the committee also originate ideas on ways student
members and Chapters could get involved. The committee sets guidelines
on the kinds of activities Chapters will participate in. The committee
recognized that each Chapter will decide how active their role will
be in their community and on their campus. The Membership and Outreach
Committee will only make suggestions on the types of organizations
and activities Chapters will participate in. However, the activities
of the Chapter must abide by the SWA mission and the Membership
and Outreach Committee’s approval. Also, the Membership and
Outreach Committee will be creating rules and regulations on the
companies that Chapters can accept gifts from.
Coming soon will be a page on the website with fundraising ideas,
organizations that Chapters can link up with to hold events in their
communities, and a variety of other activities Chapters can partake
in. |
