START A CHAPTER

Suits For Seniors exist to help students learn and build self-confidence, life skills, and a sense of purpose. Suits For Seniors is started at a host site (a school or community partner) and is guided by one or more organization advisors. Organization advisors are faculty members or community partners. A sponsor is a corporate partner, institution, or community partner.

5 Easy Steps to Starting

• Step 1: Find an Adviser

  • Every Suits For Seniors Local Chapter is required to have an adviser. An adviser can be a school administrator, sponsor, teacher, or any faculty member.

​

​
 

• Step 2: Create an Executive Board

  • Each Suits For Seniors Chapter is required to have a minimum of five members.

​

• Step 3: Create Bylaws 

  • Bylaws are the rules by which a chapter regulates its affairs and the behavior of its members. 

​

​

​

• Step 4: Create a Strategic Plan 

  • The strategic plan is the action plan for a chapter. Strong strategic plans include well-defined goals and objectives, deadlines, and assigned tasks. The Program of Work is important because it ensures careful planning and a detailed layout for the fiscal year.

​

​

• Step 5: Set Officer and General Meetings Dates/Agendas

  • Many successful chapters layout dates and locations of each other at their meetings at the beginning of the year. This ensures the chapter has a meeting place and the dates and locations can be published and publicized to members and prospective members.
