Shared Responsibility

It has historically felt that the majority of hosting burden has fallen to the hosting chapter. How do we more evenly distribute responsibility? Co-Host model?

Tech Support

2024-06-25 20:39:32 UTC

It was extremely challenging to get the registration platform up and running in a timely manner, which impacted registration. Can we have dedicated tech support?

Transportation/Lodging

2024-06-25 20:40:23 UTC

We should have standard guidelines for transportation and lodging. Bussing/lodging helps minimize burden to students who do not have the financial resources to attend.

Career Fair

2024-06-25 20:41:35 UTC

Keep the career fair, it is a major draw for students. Can we move the RSS timeline so it aligns with recruiting season? This makes it more likely we receive corporate sponsorship as well.

Advisory Committee

National should create a chapter advisory board to have chapter input in the creation of these processes. It seems like there is a large disconnect between national and the chapters.
