Doing now what we couldn’t do before and delivering long-term benefits to your chapter from the new approach/activity/best practice.
We find ourselves in a very different position today than in early 2020. The pandemic has caused us to approach almost everything differently and to see human potential at its best. Solely optimizing technology is not enough for organizations to come out stronger and thrive beyond the pandemic with a new approach. One that focuses on “what is possible” and expands our thinking beyond the four walls of Beta Alpha Psi.
Key points for all categories:
The pandemic expedited change that many predicted would happen over decades, forcing those seemingly distant evolutions to happen within weeks. Although initially challenging, the pandemic has presented a unique opportunity for Beta Alpha Psi chapters to assess what has worked from year to year and to experiment with methods for running their chapter.
In a digital world, we are forced to build relationships, collaborate, and engage via technology. As you think through this past year, how did you make connections, divide, and conquer on tasks, and ultimately, build your agendas/events digitally.
Out of necessity there was an abrupt shift to a virtual environment and studies have shown that student engagement is down due this. As we move towards to “new normal”, the approach will be a hybrid environment that requires flexibility between digital and in-person engagement. As we evolve as an organization, how does BAP stay relevant in this model.
