First 30 Days Checklist #

Congratulations on your new role as Archivist! Thank you for your commitment to Alpha Delta Pi and for ensuring the success of your chapter. There is a lot to do! While this is not an exhaustive list to govern your entire term of office, it can get you started on the tasks you will need to complete during your first 30 days in office. This resource should be used as a supplement to Leadership Planning Workshop. Tasks in each section are listed in the recommended order of completion.

Complete Transition Paperwork#

• Log on to Pride Online and ensure your contact information is up to date.

Meet with your contacts#

• Meet with the outgoing Archivist to transition your roles. This is an individual meeting between the outgoing Archivist and the incoming Archivist. This should not be done during the Leadership Planning Workshop.Though you meet with your outgoing officer to learn more about your position and gain insight from the past academic year, your primary source of information for transitions should be the resources available on Pride Online, such as Library Courses, Manuals and Forms, and the Chapter Operations Book. If conflicting or outdated information is provided the materials that live on Pride Online.
  • Review the shared content from the Departing Officer Workbook and Incoming Officer Workbook.
  • Discuss plans for additional transitions meetings if needed and establish communication expectations for questions that arise throughout the year.
  • Transition any chapter files and paperwork, hard copy or digital, you may need.
