Organize A Campaign

The THIRD STEP toward taking action is to Organize Your Campaign.

STEP 1 : PLAN YOUR PROJECT

* Start talking about an issue to address. See if anyone has knowledge about history of that issue.

* Pick Short and Long term Goals

* Record Goals in Goals Document

* Figure out what resources you have as students in that region - media, time, connections

* Discuss strategy (see your Individual Commitment Form) to accomplish your goal

* Select duties for each goal - team coordinator, volunteer coordinator, media outreach, etc. Allow room for creativity while establishing a tangible structure

STEP 2 - COMMUNICATE

* Get to know each other! What has each person done in his or her school? Would anyone be interested in, and have time for, Sc3/GSA regional positions?

* Assign a secretary to take notes of meeting.

* Write down contact information for each student in the region

* Start discussing a communication plan for the year

* Start thinking ahead to the next regional meeting about issues and goals for your region for the 2011-2012 school year

STEP 3: COMPLETE THE PROJECT PLAN (Timeline and Strategy and Tactics)

* Come Up With Slogan

* Discuss narrative to communicate your project to your audiences

* Discuss tactics (see your Individual Commitment Form) to accomplish your goal

* Set a Timeline of Tactics, remember you want to stay consistent and persistent

* Record roles in the Communication Plan Document

* Set up online structure for region. ex. google group, email list-serve, Facebook group

* Set up next meeting for the summer for your region.
