Step 2
Identify a core group of 3 to 6 energetic alumni who might be willing to serve as leaders for the club.
Remember – one person CAN NOT do it all!
Step 3
- Survey alumni in your area to determine their level of interest, the types of events they want to attend, and if they would like to help start and/or run the chapter
- Review the survey results
Step 4
- Select a date for the first organizational meeting
- Select officers and committee members
- Establish specific roles and general guidelines for the club
- The basic framework consists of a minimum of 3 officers and committee members

See our list of officers and committee members.
