As the end of the semester comes closer and exams begin, it is important not to let your organization lose sight of its goals or lose its steam. Take the opportunity to review the past semester. How have you met your goals? What projects worked and which ones need improvement? Talk with members of your organization to answer these questions and to create new goals and plans for next semester that everyone can look forward to. Also, recognize the group’s achievements! This is a wonderful time to celebrate what each member has done and to give members renewed energy and inspiration. For many organizations, new officers are being chosen during this time. Officer transitions are an essential task because they allow outgoing officers to pass down all of the important lessons they have learned. Gather and pass along old forms, checklists, suggestions for success, and tips to avoid common mistakes. Remember that new officers do not have to start at square one! Give them the resources they need to keep the organization moving forward.
