ps and sga

Compliance, Policy-making, Sustainability, and Systems Design are not the first things that come into anyone's mind when we think about a fun weekend. However, all of these are really important, almost as important to an organization as weekends are important to a college student's sanity. From my personal experience, I have noticed that the sga places a great amount of emphasis on compliance, policy making, and sustainability. Well, compliance and policy making is their bread and butter but I would like to talk about sustainability a little bit. 

Organizations are very much like living entities. Some are even legal persons, with legal names, rights and privileges, responsibilities and duties. Succession planning is important in many ways for organizations of all sizes and types. While it is not possible for a current officer body to have a small group of people prepped to step in when the current officer body steps down, it seems totally reasonable to me to keep the organization members informed and in touch concerning the vision that the leadership pursues. Proper documentation and archival of ideas that occur in the student organization is one part of the equation. The other part is presentation of the ideas and visions of the officer body in bite size information capsules so as to speak the students can swallow and get a gist of the situation without waddling through tons of paper work.
