How do you get buy-in for your program at your own school?
For several years now our officer team has provided lunch for our entire faculty and staff during one of the teacher work days before school starts. The desire was two fold. One, to show our teachers, administration and staff how much we appreciate them. (We have about 110 people that we provide the meal for so the cost is not small.) Also, we take this opportunity to have the officers in official dress introduce themselves, share the chapter's accomplishments at state convention during the summer and just spread good will in general. Unfortunately many people (including our counselors), choose to take their food or just eat and leave before the students get to speak. I realize that schools are all quite different but I was wondering if anyone does something in their chapter to accomplish this same type of purpose that you feel has been very successful. We are ready to try something new to improve our marketing efforts for our chapter. Any comments will be greatly appreciated.
