Officer Folders

“To make things easier for new and existing chairpeople, I implemented a ‘chair folder’ system. Each chair or cochair is given a folder that contains an alphabetical list of faculty members; the number of students per grade, for making flyers; the school floor plans for our two schools, with homerooms clearly marked; our nonprofit information, for tax-exempt supply shopping when needed; a blank volunteer tracking list; and a legal pad for taking notes. Having this information starts everyone on the right foot. For one thing, the easy questions we all might ask the front office are already at our fingertips.”
