Please… set your cell phone and electronic devices to silent operation



Resist the urge to use your cell phone inside the auditorium

Exit the room before answering or returning a call




ExCom (steering committee)

ExCom is a Volunteer Organization unequal work loads work / family / IEEE priorities cannot simply “hire in” desired skills train ExCom members – “apprenticeships” – efficiency VS. training assign / agreed-to tasks train your future officers



ExCom & Volunteer Structure Officers – define the tasks they are expected to take on e.g. Chair – lead & make decisions, ExCom agenda Vice Chair – nominal chair for spring & fall symposia Treasurer – financial records, pay bills Secretary – meeting minutes, L-31 filings Promotion Chair – event publicity, e-mail notices – webmaster – web site(s) support Non-Officer ExCom members – task assignments Non-ExCom Volunteers – activities?



2019 Officers:

2019 events

monthly lunch time seminars Spring full day Symposium

Origin Stories – Exploring Entrepreneurship entrepreneurship; evening “lightning talks” & networking

Fall full day Symposium


Annual Banquet 12 (monthly) ExCom meetings, 2 - 3 planning meetings for each major event



Running a good chapter ExCom

monthly ExCom meetings advanced scheduling of meetings (1 year +) meeting agenda – distribute in advance of meeting meeting minutes


ExCom Meeting Agenda

1. Approve minutes from last meeting

2. Chair’s items

3. Treasurer’s report

4. Secretary’s report

5. Old Business

6. New Business

7. Adjourn

Does your ExCom meeting have an agenda? Does the agenda look like this?


SFBA Nano’ s ExCom September 5th 2017 agenda is on the next slide



Record Keeping & Reports

L-31 event attendance filings (IEEE / Guests; auditable) – actual attendance; NOT registrations, estimates or guesses Event attendance records – e.g. sign in sheets Elections / Election results Annual Report to SCV Section

Expenditures, receipts, records – should be auditable, scan into electronic record Treasurer report to ExCom at meetings Major event summary reports – attendance, expenses, profit/loss



Finances

What pays the bills? – section rebate? – major event surpluses? – sponsors ? – grants from parent society ? Break even events? What is a reasonable $ reserve? Event ticket charges can enable better planning – ticket charges with rebates IEEE credit cards are useful
