Hope some of you guys can come to this workshop on Thursday!  Looks very
relevant to Habitat, in terms of developing plans for long-term
sustainability of the club, beyond one-time events.

Dear student service group leaders,

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.



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.

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.

Event Recap
WHO: Student service group leaders – try to send 2-3 members of your group
so you can attend multiple breakout sessions!
WHAT: Student service training on sustainability
WHEN: April 1 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
WHERE: Religious Activities Center (W11)
WHY: So your group can develop a personalized long-term plan, enjoy a
delicious dinner and dessert, and learn from panelists who know what
characteristics sustainable groups possess!
HOW: RSVP by **March 30 at NOON** and submit your sustainability questions
and breakout session preferences online:
https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dGFqdklFMkVySHVZM0d6SGk5WHpUOWc6MA

Once you have RSVP’d by filling out the Google form (link above), you will
receive a confirmation e-mail with the breakout session for which you are
registered by the morning of March 31. (Note that we may shift around or
combine the content of the breakout sessions – so you are strongly
encouraged to rank several preferences and sign up ASAP so your preferences
are taken into account.) I'll also send out a few reminders prior to the
event.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

I look forward to seeing you there!
Caroline Huang

P.S. If you’re away for spring break and won’t be able to check your
calendar until the 28th or 29th, don’t worry. I’ll send out another reminder
on Sunday afternoon to sign up.
