VVP Association Proposed Motion
Hello,
My name is Lera Foust, and I am representing the Presidents and Vice Presidents who attended the 2024 Fall PPV meeting and the 2025 Spring PPV meeting at Randolph Community College.
There is an never-ending need for our Presidents and Vice Presidents to improve as leaders for the betterment of their teams. I am certain this is true for every position in SGA. We continually ask ourselves, "What else can we do, and how can we help more?"
With this in mind, we have compiled a proposal for UNITY throughout SGA delegations, starting with unifying Presidents and Vice Presidents. This initiative will provide you and any Student Government member of N4CSGA with a resource to gain valuable insights and perspectives from current and past Presidents and Vice Presidents on inquiries and challenges you and your college face.
Q: Why not use Wix?
A: Although Wix is currently being used, it's not being utilized to its full potential. If the VVPs deem Wix suitable, this initiative would enhance and expand upon the existing group chats.
Q: Why does this need a motion?
A: As I'm graduating, there will be changes in our board, advisors, and N4CSGA's leadership. We want to ensure N4CSGA remains accountable for updating and promoting this platform. This initiative allows alumni Presidents and Vice Presidents to stay connected with new members, fostering continuity and community. This motion establishes a clear expectation for future N4CSGA boards to maintain and promote this platform.
Note: This is not a legislative proposal, but rather a call to action to enhance an existing resource.
This matters deeply to me because it's a crucial first step. I've been in the shoes of a struggling president, unsure of how to navigate challenges like losing a beloved advisor mid-semester or crafting an effective board of trustees report.
I remember the frustration and isolation that came with trial and error. But what if I had a network of experienced Presidents and Vice Presidents to turn to for guidance?
That's what this motion represents: a chance to create a supportive community where we can share knowledge, ask questions, and learn from one another. I may not have all the answers, but I'm willing to take a chance on this motion because I know that together, we can make a difference.
