General Members

• Be a team player. Communicate, work together, delegate tasks fairly and equitably, and everything you do should support the mission of your organization as well as St. John's.

• Use your meetings to express your views, ideas, and be supportive.

• Do not argue over the ownership of ideas. Once you give your ideas to the group, it becomes the property of the group.

• Listen carefully and critically to others. Always remember that on almost every question there are several points of view.

• Do not monopolize any discussion. Make your points clearly and concisely.

• Do not let the discussion get away from you...PARTICIPATE!

• It is okay to disagree, so long as you do so constructively. Voice your opinions even if you are in the minority.

• Come prepared to the meetings. Bring questions, new business, and comments.
