Congrats and I wish you much luck.

My group meets on a monthly basis. I just feel that we have so much going on that a monthly meeting is needed.

My best recommendation would be to set up a meeting with your Executive members, and possibly even a second one with the Principal. I would suggest doing this prior to your monthly meeting. Go through everything that your group does normally for the year. Find out from those involved what has worked, what does not, what needs improvement, etc. Then talk about areas where you feel your group is lacking. It may be that you guys don't do enough family events. It may be that you need to raise more funds. It may be that you need to support more enrichment, such as Field Trips or equipment. It may be multiple things...

Write down all of these things. Try to determine your yearly timeline for everything your group does.

Effectively define your prioritieis for the year. This way at the first meeting you can start off by discussing your new priorities. My first year my priorities were to increase communication and to increase membership. Then I explained some of my ideas, such as getting the monthly newsletter going and creating a new website.

Hope you have a great year.
