Establish a Charter

• Provide a succession plan, with guidelines for officer positions and responsibilities.

Plan a Kick Off Meeting

• Encourage more experienced professionals to participate. Sometimes a personal invitation is the most effective invitation.
• Be sure to invite managers and HR representatives who are supporting you!
