Introduction
Senators are the ones who operate the senate, serve on boards, serve on committees, and come to meetings to present ideas.
All members of the senate need to take their role very seriously. It is important for the betterment and advancement of the organization to engage all the members in active participation in all the functions of the organization.
For an organization to progress, to be successful, and to be truly democratic, all the talents of the members need to recognized, cultivated and used. An organization shall recognize that everyone can be trained and cultivated for leadership roles in organizations.
Members shall attend meetings, be on time, dress business casual, as well as know the rules and parliamentary procedure. Both the chairman and members need to know the parliamentary rules. Senators need to prepare themselves for leadership roles.
Senators shall accept committee assignments and perform the tasks given to them in a timely manner. Senators need to work harmoniously with other senators even though they may disagree.
A great wise man by the name of Henry Ford once said “Coming together is a beginning, Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.” Consider this expression when confronted with disruptive peers and colleagues. Often, the best solutions come from when members try to resolve problems first by talking. Let's attack the impossible together and be successful.
The Creed
I will be the change I wish to see in the world
I will be the leader I respect
I will be the follower that I admire
I will be the person I appreciate
I will be courageous, strong and compassionate
And I will inspire others to do the same
Because I Believe I Can
“Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.” Henry Ford
