MoT #4: Program Planning & Meeting Organization

Every meeting your club has creates an experience. The quality of this experience is up to not just the officers, but also the participation of all members. If your club has poor planning and organization, meetings will be fraught with stress, disorganization, and missed opportunities. Roles (especially speaking slots) won't be filled, which means members won't learn and grow. Members will find themselves put into roles at the last minute that they're not prepared for. Guests will see the disarray and weigh that in their decision to return - or not. 

In contrast, if your club has RDG Program Planning & Meeting Organization skills and habits, your members will be able to prepare well in advance for roles. You will have dramatically less last minute substitutions. Guests will see that you have a well run meeting and be more likely to join so they can learn these skills to take back to their daily lives.

The good news is these skills are not difficult to learn. Follow this lesson to learn what they are and what they can do for you.
