NCGR-LA President’s
To-Do List
The President of the LA Chapter of NCGR needs to either do these tasks, or delegate them:
Speakers need to be secured for meetings. This involves a bit of PR, networking, and being a responsible communicator. Speakers who don't live in the area will need a place to stay, transportation, and often have many questions that need to be answered quickly.
Contract with restaurant each month for meeting with appropriate room and equipment.
Run the monthly meetings. Make sure all necessary equipment is there and working. Arrange the room appropriately. These tasks require being there early, before the meeting starts.
Communicate with NCGR parent-national, including meeting info. National sends out an email with local meeting info monthly, and publishes information about our chapter's meetings on it's website.
Communicate with members via many sources including email, meetup.com, the website and paper mail. Keep email addresses up-to-date in the mail program. Emailing requires an account on a mass mailer like Mailchimp.
Manage the meetup group. This requires being the organizer, paying for the account, managing members, etc.
Setup and run board meetings. Make sure that elections are run correctly and to NCGR national standards. A website like Survey Monkey works well.
Manage the website which is not trivial. Posting info about speakers involves securing their talk info well in advance, as well as a photo.
Finances need to be managed or overseen. Paperwork and financials need to be filed regularly with national NCGR.
