Club SIG Representative
Role Responsibilities
The Club SIG representative communicates regularly with the SIG regional representative to keep them informed about club events and activities and to explore additional collaborative engagement opportunities. The club SIG rep also collaborates with the regional SIG reps to brainstorm, plan, and pilot new programs and activities in their region.
As a leader of the club, the SIG representative assumes the following responsibilities:
-
Reach out to the SIG regional representatives to create and maintain communications so both SIGs and clubs know about and can promote the events and activities in the region.
-
With the programming chair, collaborate with SIGs and explore sponsoring joint events.
-
Pilot events and activities that are collaboratively planned and promoted by clubs and SIGs.
-
Ask for program interest and specific topics/ideas from your board or conduct a survey (check with your programming chair to see if one for the club is planned) asking what type of new events your club would be interested in trying. If interest varies by class decade or geography, plan accordingly.
-
If you conduct a survey, don’t forget to include an option for members to volunteer, plan, or donate funds to defray costs for an event they suggest.
-
Coordinate mailing/emailing of notices/newsletters to area alums from your club, SIGs, and other clubs in your region; inviting them to attend and collaborate on events and activities. You may share this responsibility with a club newsletter or communications chair and SIG regional representative.
-
After the event, be sure to share photos and quotes from alums who attended on your website, social media channels, and with the WCAA.
-
Represent SIGs on the larger club board.
-
Connect with other club/SIG leaders on Leadershare to brainstorm and share ideas.
