Access slides for the webinar . Gathering a dedicated leadership team is the key to a successful chapter. The leadership team can be structured differently depending on the gifts of the members on your team, so we encourage you to prayerfully discern the roles of your chapters leaders.
Below are examples of how chapters have structured their leadership teams in the past. Keep in mind, some universities may require student organizations to maintain certain positions such as a president or treasurer.
The Full Seven
Many larger chapters find it helpful to have the following roles:
Anderson University
Three teams:
Photographer (optional if enough interest) Campus Ministries Liaison Member Coordinator (depends on if there is enough interest to have a body of members) Baylor University
The Full Seven + VP of Membership + Threads Chair in years with increased leadership interest
Campbell University
President & Vice President
“We had a very small team and this worked for us. Because these are less specific roles, we did not set strict responsibilities for each role long-term. Instead, at the beginning of each academic year, we would meet and decide which responsibilities would be delegated to the two roles based on their strengths and interests (i.e. who would be responsible for communication, prayer, various campaign tasks, etc).”
University of Georgia
“We’re shooting to have committees this year (ex. Advocacy Committee, Publicity Committee, etc.) to help give members a more inclusive and focused way to get involved according to their strengths, interests, and availability.”
Kansas State University
“Due to a low number of leaders on our team, we assigned roles based on everyone’s greatest strengths as well as in the vital priority of prayer. Responsibilities not covered by our respective roles were shared between the team. In all things, we were open to collaboration. The general motto was, ‘Everyone can help with (pretty much) anything.’”
