I'm so excited about the email I just got from Kurt Rahn, the Action on AIDS student mobilization contact! We've been emailing back and forth about setting up a chapter of AoA at UGA and the steps we need to take to make that happen.
Earlier in the semester after a meeting with student activities we found out our first step is writing a constitution. Umm yeah, who has experience doing that? I sure don't. So I've been emailing Kurt to get contacts from other chapters that are already set up. Finally I'll be in touch with someone from the University of Illinois and possibly an intern from the founding chapter at Seattle Pacific. This is great news! We've been on hold with our plans because we weren't sure how to proceed with a constitution (plus finals, maymester, internships, etc.). Now we can get started again! I can't wait!

its awesome that your doing this. How hard is it to start an organization?
ReplyDeleteThanks! Its been kind of difficult because you have to have 10 founding members and write a constitution. (which i have no experience with lol) Student activities has been great though.

i love HEROs. you guys do amazing work. the only difference is that AoA takes the money that we've raised and sends it to Africa to help there. but a few of our "founding members" are in HEROs also.
ReplyDelete"founding members"... love it. and love the blog too!
