1. SEDS-USA Director of Chapter Affairs
Dan Pastuf

2. Goals
• Build inter-chapter communication
• Strive to minimize Chapter Losses
• Build Leadership within the organization
• Build USA-Chapter level connections
• Develop better membership system
• Focus on providing Chapters best services
possible – Chapter Services vs Chapter Affairs

3. Inter-Chapter Communication
• Encourage Regional Level activities
– NE has done regional Conferences and events
– Other Regional Items in the works
• Ideal world would have sufficient chapters to require the
Regional System operating
• Help to build like events through
communication that can enhance the SEDS
mafia aspect

4. Minimize Chapter Losses
• Linearize communications between nationals
– Simplify forms, what should be done when, etc
• Maintain better communications with Chapters
– I will be calling each chapter over the break to see
what their doing, where they can use help, where
their strong, etc
– Make SEDS-USA something chapters want to be a
part of

5. Build Leadership
• Make the CoC an effective tool of the
organization
– Use of Committees to build involvement
– Use committees to help dept. where applicable
• For special projects, committees can be formed to help,
possibly required for each chapter to be on a Committee?

6. Membership system
• How to track members
• Why?
– Alumni
– Graduates (i.e. Free NSS membership)
– Enhance organizational power

7. Membership system
• How to track members
• How?
– SEDS-USA will not define a member beyond the
student requirement.
– Build a system for reporting membership to National
– Make this system easy and workable
– Give a benefit and reason to be part of this system
all the time

8. Membership system
• How to track members
• How?
– Recreate an individual member system?
• Chapters create as many members as they want
• Individual members get a lower rate to be a member, get
equal benefits for lone starters
– Enhances expansion, acts as a small revenue stream, and grows
organizational power
