Communication—The Key to Success
Recently I have the privilege of being included in the Division 89 “communication loop” and have had the honor of welcoming new chapter leadership throughout our “AFSA AOR”. I have embraced this opportunity as it has provided me with a means to meet and network with some of our great, hard-charging leaders as well as afforded me an opportunity to communicate and exchange some new ideas.
The Merriam-Webster On-line Dictionary defines communication as; “…a process by which information is exchanged between individuals through a common system”, “…a personal rapport…”, and “...an exchange of information…” The “AFSA Network” provides the perfect medium to communicate!Utilizing the “AFSA Network” and cross-flowing successes and ideas will help create a motivational sense of enthusiasm! Many folks are new to AFSA Chapter leadership positions and may feel a bit overwhelmed as they try to decipher through the rigorous regime of meeting agendas, community service events, supporting enlisted development and filling out those often, tricky reports. NO NEED TO WORRY; as communication with your fellow AFSA members and leaders will help ease your pain.AFSA professionals I encourage each one of you to practice open and honest communication with fellow AFSA members.
Ask those tough or challenging questions you may have; tap each other’s minds if you are confused about recruiting or fundraising opportunities…Ask those questions and ease your mind. Remember we are ALL in this together and effective communication is in fact, the key to success!
