It is imperative that all committee heads FORM COMMITTEES. These committees will lighten the work load and make things easier for the committee heads. Also it is from these committees that replacements will be found for positions opening in the future. Due to the high rate of turn around it is crucial that their will be someone to take over a position after a committee head graduates or leaves.

It is also imperative that progress reports are filled out and handed in on time. Communication in an organization is crucial and it is important that everyone has a firm grasp of what’s going on.

Progress reports must be written and handed in by each committee head at each executive meeting to their designated Manager.

Each progress report will be written documentation of what was accomplished by each executive member during the week between executive meetings, i.e. from one progress report to the next.

Progress reports will be slightly more detailed than the report the executive member gives at the executive meeting.

Each progress report will list the accomplishments of the executive member for the past week and list the future plans of that exec for the following week or shortly after.

Each progress report will be logged into the minutes of each executive meeting.

After each accomplishment, try to include the date it was done.

See attached sheet for example.
