Anyone ever been president of any kind of club?

It is always good to start a meeting with a prayer, Introduction of yourself if you are new then review, So you can put those as agenda topic, then list the things you need to review as an association. You also need to get informed about what has been happening in your group so If I were you, Review will have to be participated by all the other officers under you, they need to give you a report of what they have had for the past say quarter. After reviewing, comes the planning, what are your plans for the next quarter, or year or future plans for the organization. The details will have to get assigned to officer in charged. Open forum should come later for you to address concerns of your members. I hope this helps, Have a great meeting madam president.

Years ago I was elected President of a group called Parent's Without Partners. I didn't really want to run but myself and my friends weren't happy with the people who were so I decided to give it a try. I had been a member of the club for years and was always on one board or another. I never had a problem coming up with an agenda because it was really always an easy forum for everyone who attended the meetings. Not knowing anything about your association I couldn't come up with anything that would be of any help to you. I'm sure you will make out fine. Good luck!

It seems odd to me that the President is "informed" to come up with an agenda. What about a chair person? Do you not have that in your organisation? I didn't realise it was the President's job to come up with an agenda. Anyway, if you must, shouldn't you have an idea of what the meeting is for, and then form the agenda around that/those issues? I've no experience with this organisation, but I am in a non-profit and the last agenda we had was made by someone who was not the "president" but maybe they do things differently with IAAP. Good luck with your meeting!

I had been a president of our young professional's group at our church too, though at first I dislike it because I know the responsibility is big but I try to look at it as an opportunity too to serve God and serve others.It's not easy and it took a lot of my time but it's all worth it.

i am sure you will be a smooth navigator and take a lot of people on happy journeys. smiles, apple.

yes, i have been elected as President on my College years to govern all Psychology students from 1st yr - 4th year. Its quite a difficult job. But if you'll think about it, its also good for you because you are helping other people with their development.

I was once president of the model making boat dancing club...but since I was the only member I had to be other members stand ins and create some cardboard cut outs so that the club looked very official and full up with members, we had great fun laughing and joking with my cardboard cut out friends....ah the good old days of being crazy!
