Weekly Update

Just a few quick updates:
1. Meeting with Sister Annette last week-
we discussed the development of the sexual assault program (which is going awesome!), our expectations of her, and leadership development for the Organization. Good things came out of this meeting. Sister would like to start coming to an SGA meeting once a month for a Q/A session with the officers. Also, we asked that she and SGA stay on the same page throughout the school year and ensure that we are communicating effectively with one another.

2. Leadership Development-
Emily, Brad, and I are in the process of starting to organize the leadership development sessions for the Executive Committee and Executive Council. As some of you are aware, Executive Council / Committee are allowed to move in early, yet you will have mandatory SGA activities you have to attend during that week. Don't get too worried though, they will all be fun and you will have free time to yourself! More information about this will be sent your way as we finalize our plans and work closely with Katie and Josh.

3. Leadership Speaker Series
I am in the process of forming a Leadership Speaker Series. I have booked a woman named Susan Leahy (www.susanleahy.com) to train our Senate / Organization and work with University Departments and student organizations. This will be taking place in September. I also am trying to line up former UD SGA President / VP and Senior Vice President of Yankee Candle, Rick Ruffolo to come and speak in the fall. I do have other plans for this series, including partnering with Career Services, to provide students with leadership and developmental opportunities each month.

4. Start thinking programs! We are asking that you get in contact with your co-directors and start outlining your programs and activities for the year and begin estimating the costs! Katie will be in touch with you more about this later in the summer!

Don't be afraid to let us know what you think! Make sure to keep us updated on what you're doing!
