Officer Transitions



Yesterday the Incoming and Outgoing Executive Officers met at the Fayetteville Town Center to have a transition retreat. As a big group we performed a SWOT analysis which looks at Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. Once we achieved this, we were able to set goals both as individuals and as an organization.

This was followed by actual 1-on-1 transition time between the outgoing and incoming officer for each position. Each outgoing officer created a binder that included all the information needed for the following year. The hope is that by transferring all the knowledge at one time, the officers will be able to move forward as opposed to "re-inventing the wheel".

After lunch we started with a leadership style analysis. Each new officer was placed in one of five leadership categories based on the results of a survey. Once separated, we were able to dissect how each group is unique and how all five groups work together towards success.

We concluded the meeting with planning for Spring semester. The officers collaborated to plan out everything from social events to Mom's Day and placed dates for them on the calendar. Then we moved on to creating a working budget.

* Below is what our calendar looked like after we were done.
