Year One

Congratulations on a successful Reunion! The 5-year cycle has started over, and you have new class officers and council members on board.

Set goals and establish your 5-year plan. Do you want to host more regional events? Work on updating bad addresses? Broaden classmates’ engagement by strengthening your affinity groups? Decide what goals you have and begin to map out a plan for each year leading up to Reunion.

Define class officer roles. Many classes adjust their officer roles to fit their unique needs. Adding a social media chair, a diversity chair, or combining roles like historian and secretary might make sense for your class.
