- Overseas Chapters – have been declined or pursued with Asha veteran is initiating the effort

- To revive closed/dormant chapters.- New group of volunteer

Increasing Number of Chapter

What does it mean for Asha?

Increased in- Volunteer Base Outreach Fundraising Number of Projects – Does not equate to increased impact necessarily!

100% Volunteer organizationWhere do we draw the line?

(Does not mean stop adding chapters)

Liability Responsibility for Asha Wide Number of defunctional chapters

Questions we need to ask Ourselves?

Do we need multiple chapters within 50 miles?

What are the expectations from a new chapters? – Value Add & predetermined goals per chapter

What the checks and balances at various stages of a new/existing chapters?

What is the process to track chapters?

How do we protect Asha for Education as a brand from open use – example GWU & Boxborough

Lets keep in mind with the number of chapters right now – one call per weekend may get us to each

chapter in 1-1/2 years.

NEED A PREDETERMINED PLAN FOR GROWTH AND SUSTAINABILITY WITHIN THE

ORGANIZATION!!!
