CHange is hard for everyone stepping up to the plate and breaking through the wall of shyness and timidness and bursting into a role where you can shine can be. Often times people either dont realize their potential or they are scared to do something they are uncomfortable with. This also matters becasue change in this type of setting is inevitable.

16. So, what’s next?

17. Implementing into your Chapter
Make expectations of roles clear so members know what they are getting into before they decide to transition
Set a precedent from year-to-year so that members know what to expect
The use of the binders helps make the transition smoother
