Advisory Board Chair Handbook

2011 Annual WAB Meeting took place during the Annual Conference in Denver on Wednesday, October 5, 2011.  Minutes are available below.


Advisory Board's Charge

The Emerging Leaders Program (ELP) exists to encourage members from diverse groups to get involved in leadership opportunities within the organization; outfit participants with the skills and tools necessary to pursue leadership positions within NACADA; increase the number of leaders from diverse groups, and encourage and assist members of underrepresented populations to attend state, regional, or national conferences.

 

The ELP Advisory Board's role is to:

  • assist in identifying members from diverse backgrounds and encouraging them to apply to become an Emerging Leader or Mentor
  • make recommendations regarding policies and procedures related to publicizing the program, the selection of ELP Classes, and funding of program participants
  • develop and implement the programming/curriculum for the ELP Orientation sessions that take place at the Annual Conference
  • review Program progress on a regular basis and make recommendations for changes or improvement

Goals for 2011-2012

  1. Collect data that will enable us to compare the demographics of the NACADA membership at large with the demographics of the ELPers between 2007-2011
  2. Continue to ask past mentors to help recruit mentors for the future class
  3. Produce a video highlighting the ELP to help publicize program
  4. Write an article for Academic Advising Today (December or March edition)
  5. Create a brochure that can be distributed at Regional Conferences
