<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in;"><small><span>Dear student service group
leaders,<br>
<br>
Happy spring break! I am delighted to invite you and a few of your
fellow group
members to attend a special service training on sustainability, which
the Public
Service Center has organized in order to help student groups make the
jump from
energetic new projects to long-term successes. The event will feature
panelists
from MIT Resource Development, the Student Activities Office, and
representatives
from some successful student groups. </span></small></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in;"><small><span> </span></small></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in;"><span><small>Sustainability
topics will
include:
moving from year-to-year fundraising to long-term financial
sustainability,
developing leadership with your ranks for strong succession,
documenting how
your group gets things done, recruiting and retaining a strong
membership, and
other tools to increase your group’s success and longevity. Student
service
groups who have been running successful programming and are ready to
take their
group to the next level of operation are highly encouraged to attend
this
event.<br>
<br>
We are asking students to help us make this event as useful as
possible.
Panelists will answer questions generated by YOU and lead breakout
sessions
designed to help you develop strategies for long-term success.
Additionally,
we’ll provide a family-style dinner and dessert so that you can
concentrate on
your group’s future instead of your growling stomach. <br>
<br>
