Do the Math

One: Every chapter begins with one FACS teacher!

Two: Try two new things each year. Start a new community service project, increase membership, take students to national meetings, etc. Pick two and make them goals.

Three: Encourage each chapter member to recruit at least three new members for Be Part of It! recognition.

Four: Invite four outside speakers to share their career with students.

Five: Use the five units of Power of One as an ongoing project for first year FACS students.

Six: Organize your chapter with at least six chapter officers: President, First Vice President, Vice President of Finance, Vice President of Programs, Vice President of Public Relations, and Vice President of Parliamentary Law.

Seven: Take a seventh inning stretch! All good advisers know when to say “no.”

Eight: Work with officers to make a plan that includes at least eight activities throughout the year. Don’t forget fundraisers, recruitment, and recognition events!

Nine: Each chapter is comprised of at least nine members. You don’t need to have all your members in place to affiliate—all you need are the first nine and you can affiliate additional members throughout the year.

Ten: Increase the chapter by ten members next year.
