How to Save Time and Make Your Club Better with Oclubs
Sunday, August 16, 2009 at 9:44PM The school year is starting soon, so it's time to make your campus Objectivist club the best it can be.
First, RSVP for the Club Leader Conference call now! (If you're on our list, an invitation has been sent to you.)
Second, communicate with us—it's the best way to help us help you. If you haven't talked with someone from OCN in the last few months, drop us a line: What are your plans for the year? What are your challenges? What's going well? How can we help?
Finally, check out our resources. We've been working all summer to create information and programs to help you in the upcoming year. Here's an overview of what we have to offer, much of it brand-new:
- Mentor program: Would you like a monthly phone call with an experienced leader of a former club? Sign up for our mentor program.
- Philosophic Discussions: Soon we'll be announcing 1 year's worth of meeting plans to make it easier to lead a great discussion on any one of 20 different Ayn Rand essays.
- Virtual Objectivist Club: Know anyone on a campus without an Objectivist club? We now run a virtual phone-based study club for these students. Let them know!
- Leadership Advice: We have a great catalog of leadership advice on lots of common issues.
- Documents: We have club constitution, membership rosters, meeting note templates, lending library forms, etc in our Club General Templates and Flyers & Event Files.
- Free HBL Subscription: You and your club members can receive one email a week from philosopher Harry Binswanger through a special OCN arrangement. Sign up here.
