With Convention behind us and summer nearly halfway over, we all have our sights set on an amazing Zeta year ahead. That's right, we are setting goals. I know that I tend to be an over-achiever and set really high goals for myself. Although I often overestimate my time and ability, I do believe in setting goals that provide a stretch. As the saying goes, "Reach for the moon; you will surely reach some stars along the way". (Okay, so that is the version that I can come up with in my head!) My point is this...I often do not achieve my goals 100%, but I am almost always satisfied with the good work that gets accomplished. With that in mind, I want to inspire all of my alumnae to set their goals high this year!!
What are my goals? I am glad that you asked! Here is a summary:
- Achieve membership growth in the district with every alumnae chapter growing by 10% over 2008
- Reorganize the Topeka, KS and Tri-State of Joplin, MO alumnae chapters with functional EC boards and 10+ members in place by January 1, 2009
- Increase alumnae attendance at KS/MO Zeta Day by 10% over 2008 attendance
- Support my alumnae chapters and set them on track to achieve Crown Chapter (and maybe Silver!) at Convention in 2010; I am striving for 100% of my chapters to achieve Crown Chapter status
- Work with the PPs to fill advisory boards for all collegiate chapters in our district
- Spend at least 20 minutes each day in prayer/meditation
- Enjoy a "date night" with my husband at least once a week
- Exercise 30 minutes for three or more days each week
- Work on hobbies like scrapbooking and sewing each month
- Finish my baby journal and document all of my baby's "firsts" before her 1st birthday
