We are going to have Club Elections.
Its that time of the year where the baton passes off to new officers.
Imagine having Judges at your election. Well that is what our situation would be had I not gone to one of our past presidents for help. He very easily became our guidance committee with his knowledge and step by step instructions and templates on how to conduct club elections successfully. That is like having an acrobat ask you for “I do”.
Leadership and planning knowledge to
Develop a project plan
Sometimes you know what the project is. Here it is elections. So we know we want fair elections and all roles filled.
You want all the candidates to know the role that they are going for.
Who best to answer that than the current officers. Straight from the horses’ mouth.
Asking for nominations is like svayamvara, which is like choosing the groom by your self.
Some candidates might be shy, it will take some prodding from the cupids, mediators to urge them to go for the role.
Once spoken for, the candidate goes out of the pool.
Club is the collateral benefit.
The times that you don’t have a project defined or a plan to do it, you can forget about it. Its not going to happen.
Organize a guidance committee
Is your event a recurring one? If yes, then you go need to talk to someone who has already done it and get the details from them. This is like the elderly body of people who know the rituals and what needs to be done in a marriage.
Implement the plan with the help of a team.
I have asked for volunteers to be on the Nomination Committee as well as help me in conducting the elections on the big day. With a team, you are sure to be successful as long as you manage the team well.
What better than a marriage that calls for extensive preparation. There will be ballots, roles, officers and the club. Streamers flying around when we have the officers.
You cant manage the planning alone. You need help from many people.
Hopefully no cold feet.. no runaway brides..
