The Learning Chair is responsible for scheduling, planning and coordinating a variety of learning, social and once-in-a-lifetime events that are captivating and informative for the Chapter membership. These events are the largest expense of the Chapter and are therefore a major part of the value derived out of membership – it is therefore a key responsibility to deliver exceptional experiences out of these events.

Together, we have identified the following goals, responsibilities, benefits and expectations of you in your position as Learning Chair, and by signing this document you accept the obligations, which are expected of you in fulfilling these positions during your tenure as Learning Chair:

GOALS:

• Build an events calendar with monthly learning events
• Deliver events offering high learning content, interesting social interactions and experiences which cannot easily be accessed outside of EO
• Assist with the marketing strategy (invitations) for events to grow member attendance
• Input speakers and ratings into the Speaker’s Database – to share with other Chapters
• Liaise with fellow board members for ideas on events, locations, invitations, speakers, topics or issues that will add value to our Members
• Assist with the planning and implementation of the Chapter Retreat
• Offer opportunities for members from around Australia and New Zealand to attend or participate in our events and ensure that these members are made aware of the opportunity to attend or participate
• Assist in coordinating any speakers that are doing multi-chapter events around Australia and New Zealand
• Stay up to date on Chapter, Area, Regional and Global initiatives

To achieve the goals or other objectives for the Chapter, you may have several ideas and initiatives that you wish to pursue. Many of these ideas would have been generated during your time at the GLC based on the experiences of other Chapters in Australia, New Zealand or around the world. You may also have discussed some ideas with your predecessor during succession meetings. You should raise these ideas for consideration with the Board at the Strategy Summit. Please summarise them in the Appendix to this statement, so that they can be quickly reviewed and considered by the Board on the day.
