administrator and a guidance counselor

Should not be comprised solely of educators. There should

be significantly more industry representatives

then school staff

#nafnext

Do’s and Don’ts

• Have by-laws in place

• Form committees

• Don’t meet at the schools, meet at a place of business

• Do not run the meetings – let industry drive your meetings

• Get board members into the classroom – let your students promote member involvement

#nafnext

• Follow through – don’t leave loose ends.• Remember the business industry does not

work on an educators calendar.• Take minutes at every meeting.• Include “plan of action” section in the

minutes.• Give everyone a job.• If all else fails feed them.
