Term planning gives the Chapter a blueprint for action. A well-organized plan helps Chapter members and adult volunteers plan their time more efficiently.
It’s very important to include Chapter members when choosing activities for the term. Members who have helped decided which activities to plan will be more supportive than if they were just told what the Chapter would be doing.
