The Role of the Vice President of Administration:The
Vice President of Administration should be on of La Raza's most organized
and efficient officers. He or she is responsible for a wide array
of responsibilities, including filing recognition paperwork with the University
**Managing The La Raza Email Account: You
will be responsible for checking the La Raza email account at least 5 times
a week, and you are directly responsible for managing the La Raza Facebook
account and should check for notes as often as possible.
Drafting and Proofing Emails: You will also be expected
to draft professional emails for distribution through our email list-serve.
Spelling and grammatical errors are unacceptable and reflect poorly on
our organization. Additionally, you will also be responsible for
forwarding emails from other Exec members through the email distribution
list. Remember, keep emails to a minimum. You should average
around 1 email every 10-14 days through our list-serves, including our
email and Facebook List Serves. Please note, whatever email you send
via our email distribution list, you should send the same message through
facebook. This maximizes our chances of hitting our targeted audience.
Sending Event Reminders: Send event reminders approximately
1 week before the event - so that people will mark it on their calendars,
and then again the day before the event - to remind everyone to come out.
If the event is off campus, coordinate with the Programming Officer to
find out who is driving, where everyone needs to meet, and times of departure
and return. Reminders with clear information
on meet-up location, departure times and return times are very important
and can make or break a program or event - especially those off campus.
You'll find that most people would like to participate in events - just
make it easy for them. Make sure emails and flyers have clear and
accurate information. Provide a phone number - either your number,
your assistant's or the Programming Director's, so that if people have
trouble or get lost, they can call for help. Finally, if an event
is off campus, print out directions for each car that is driving, and make
sure that the cars have each others' cell phone numbers. Keep All
Events ORGANIZED and you will continue to keep La Raza the great organization
that it is.
**Reserving Meeting Space: One the Board identifies
the semester's meeting dates and time, it is up to you to reserve the space.
You can reserve rooms, kiosks, and other materials and spaces for La Raza
by going to the online
forms provided by the Activities and Programs Office. Please
note, that if the Executive Board elects to have Executive Meetings in
the Christiana Commons, you will need to reserve meeting room A in person
at the Christiana Common's Front Desk.
**Appointing Officers: According to our constitution,
you are responsible for appointing the Webmaster(s), Historian(s), and
if you deem necessary, the Liaison to the NCLR. Please fill these
positions as soon as possible with quality La Raza members.
**Meeting Minutes: The Vice President of Administration
is responsible for taking meeting minutes, typing them and emailing them
to the Board before the next meeting. Minutes from previous meetings
are to be reviewed and approved by the Board's vote at the beginning of
each Executive Meeting.
**Registration Packets: The link to the registration packets
can be found here.
The VP of Administration may need to complete a start of the year packet,
mid-year packet, and end of the year packet. Check with the Activities
and Programs Office at the beginning of the semester to determine which
of the documents will you need to submit. Failure to comply with
this could lead to the University Dissolving La Raza - don't give them
a reason to!!
**Activities Night: The Vice President of Administration
is also responsible for reserving La Raza space at each Activities night
hosted by the Activities and Programs Office. Additionally, the VP
of Administration is responsible for getting all Presentation Boards and
other Activities Night resources, including flyers, awards, handbills (mini-flyers)
and photo albums to the table La Raza reserves for Activities Night.
**Alumni Affairs: As the Vice President of Administration,
it is your responsibility to get the information of all graduating La Raza
members. Secure their name, degree, phone number, perm address and
their post undergraduate plans. This is important because La Raza's
Alumni are important contributors to the strength of the organization.
With permission from the graduate, coordinate with the webmaster and post
the names and significant undergraduate accomplishments of the La Raza
Alumni on our site.
**Recruiting Assistants - As an Executive Board Officer,
it is your responsibility to recruit several assistants - preferably freshmen
and sophomores. La Raza places an emphasis on pulling each other
up and passing the torch. Assistants will not only give the next
generation of Latino leaders at the University of Delaware a sense of ownership
of the organization, but their insight and assistance will make your job
much easier while simultaneously strengthening our organization and ensuring
its healthy longevity.
