Strategy, Systems, and Support

Summary: 

The SSS initiative within ASCSU is focused on building lasting infrastructure to smooth transitions between leadership terms, enhance continuity, and boost internal support and alignment across all departments. This strategic approach seeks to reduce disruptions from turnover and reinforce a cohesive work culture. 

Key Working Ideas:

1. Departmental Structure and Goals: Establish onboarding checklists and first-month goals for each department to streamline new member integration and set clear expectations.

2. Business and Cross-Functional Support:

   • Quarterly Meetings: Quarterly updates on priorities, team awards, and open forums (Town Halls) to promote transparency and shared objectives.

   • Atrium/Internal Resource Bank: A shared platform for ASCSU news, bill logs, and legislation records to maintain centralized, accessible resources.

   • Tech/IT Support: Monthly workshops and office hours to provide ongoing technical assistance.

   • Starter Kits: Introductory kits with essential ASCSU information, including key messages, name tags, and notebooks, to orient new members and unify communication.

3. Alignment and Cohesion: Fostering unity across executive roles and departments by setting a supportive, collaborative example and leveraging a SharePoint site for centralized information sharing.

Through these efforts, the SSS initiative aims to establish a foundation that enhances organizational resilience, accelerates new member onboarding, and strengthens cross-functional connections within ASCSU.
