HuskyLEAD: Effective Leadership Transitions
MUB Alumni Lounge B & C
In Student Leadership and Involvement, we often hear from groups that had a “bad transition” between student organizations leaders. They lack historical knowledge, miss deadlines they weren’t familiar with, and have to spend valuable time recreating what should already exist. Are you looking to ensure your organization’s leadership doesn’t end up in this challenging position?
Join Student Leadership & Involvement Assistant Director, Danielle Meirow, to learn effective strategies for:
- Retaining digital documents
- Carrying on consistent relationships with campus partners
- Sharing necessary information with incoming officers
- Hosting effective transition meetings
A variety of resources and sample documents will be shared. Time will be provided throughout the workshop for attendees to take action steps on transition planning. It is recommended that multiple organization leaders attend together and that they bring laptops with access to any relevant organizational documents.
