2017/2018 Academic Year Executive Board Expectations Agreement:
I.
MEETING ATTENDACE
Attendance to all E-Board meetings is mandatory. Meetings will take place every other week throughout
the quarter, will be scheduled based on your availability, and you will be made aware of the meeting
schedule prior to the start of the quarter.
 In the event that something comes up that you will not be able to attend a scheduled meeting, you
must provide written notice to your Chapter President 48 business hours prior to the meeting. In that
notice, you must also include a written update to be presented to the team in your absence.
 You will receive the E-Board meeting minutes within 24 business hours after the meeting. You will
then have 48 business hours to review all items discussed in the minutes and provide written
feedback to all team members via email.
*Exceptions will be made for emergencies. In the event that an emergency prevents your attendance
at a meeting, notify your Chapter President via email, text, or phone call and you will be updated and
asked for feedback and follow through accordingly.
If you miss more than one meeting then your continued participation on the board will be under
review.
II.
HOSTING EVENTS
It is mandatory that each E-Board member assists with the setup, facilitation, and cleanup of NSLS
program events (Orientation, Leadership Training Day, Speaker Broadcasts, Success Networking Team
Meetings, and Induction). These events will be scheduled based on the majority of the team’s availabilities,
and you must sign-up to commit helping run the following:
 At least two Orientations
 At least one LTD
 At least one Live Speaker and one make-up Speaker Broadcast
 At least one SNT event
 Induction
(Hosting Events Continued)
You must arrive at least 45 minutes prior to event start time for each event to assist with setup and to be
available to answer member questions. You must stay at least 30 minutes after each event is dismissed
to assist with room cleanup and to answer member questions.

If something comes up that you will not be able to attend a scheduled event that you signed-up for, you
must provide written notice to your Chapter President and Advisors at least 48 hours prior to the event.
Your assistance in finding another member of the E-Board to attend in your place will be expected.
If you miss one event that you signed up for without finding someone to cover your duties in a
reasonable time then your continued participation on the board will be under review.
III.
COMMUNICATION
All NSLS communication sent to you from our Members, E-Board Members, Chapter Advisors, or the
National Office (whether it be received via the NSLS website’s messaging system, email, text message,
phone call, or through social media), must be responded to within 48 business hours.
 “I don’t have an answer to that yet, but will have an answer to you by ____” is an acceptable answer,
but ignoring communication for more than 48 business hours in unacceptable.
All NSLS communication from you to our Members, E-Board Members, Chapter Advisors, or to the
National Office must be professional and courteous. Unprofessional communication will be addressed by a
Chapter Advisor and inappropriate communication will not be tolerated.
Bulk messages sent to the entire chapter must be approved by your Chapter President.
If you display a pattern of failing to communicate by these terms then your continued participation on
the board will be under review.
IV.
COMMITMENT AND FOLLOW-THROUGH
All E-Board members are required to carry out their role-specific duties. It is not the expectation that you
are to wait on standby until told what to do, rather it is expected that you come to each E-Board meeting
prepared with a list of items you intend to work on that you’ll report to the team.




At any meeting during which an item you present is approved, you must determine a deadline for
when you will complete actions steps toward that initiative’s completion.
It is expected that you may need to assist with other board members’ initiatives when appropriate
(i.e. the Fundraising Chair may need to assist the Treasurer in working on the chapter’s
Income/Expense report for the Chapter Action Plan). These collaborations will be determined by
your Chapter President and/or Advisors and must be agreed to.
You may ask other team members for assistance on your role-specific initiatives (or be asked for
help by them). In order to be mindful of everyone’s time, any collaboration that is not determined
necessary by your Chapter President or Advisors will not be required and is up to the discretion of
you or the team member you are asking for help whether or not to agree on contributing additional
time and effort to assist.
If you are asked to complete an action item with a deadline of less than 48 business hours but are
unable to complete it by then it is your responsibility to inform your Chapter President or Advisors
immediately to request an extension or that it be re-assigned to another team member.


If you are unable to complete an action item by its deadline which you have more than 48 business
hours to complete then it is expected that you inform your Chapter President or Advisors 48 hours
prior to the deadline and request an extension or that it be re-assigned to another team member.
If you miss more than one deadline that you committed to without following the above procedures
then your continued participation on the board will be under review.
My signature below signifies that I, the signee, have reviewed in detail and agree to abide by the above
expectations, and understand that failure to do so may result in re-aligning or termination of my role.
