If you are just starting in your RSO leader position, following the recommendations on this page will best support the transition to your new role.
- Meet with previous RSO leaders & RSO advisor:
- Ask about transition documents- this could include meeting minutes, notes from activities/events, constitution or by-law documents, etc. It's recommended these resources are stored on your RSO's Blueprint Document's page.
- Take notes on their recommendations for what went well or what they would improve.
- Review relevant RSO financial or budget allocation information- (i.e. if outgoing leaders submitted annual allocation requests, make sure new leaders understand what funding was approved and the committee's expectations.
- Introduction meeting with key RSO supports- (i.e. RSO Advisor, frequently used vendor contacts, on-campus faculty or staff, community partners, other RSO leaders, etc.).
- If you don't know who your RSO advisor is, check your RSO's Blueprint roster.
- Update Blueprint's Roster
- Check your RSO's primary contact is updated. The Center for Leadership & Involvement sends updates and regular communication to the primary contact in Blueprint's roster for all RSO-related information.
- All new RSO leaders should be added to their RSO's Blueprint roster with the correct "assigned" position so they have access to Organization Management tools.
- Familiarize yourself with the CLI policies & resources posted to our website.
