What about external communication and better marketing? Whatever it is, share it and let your members and advisor know so that you can hold each other accountable as you go through the academic year. This year there will be three Club Conferences. The first one is September 18th -- please mark off the entire day, we will send more details as the event gets closer.

If you have specific questions about Club Conference, please reach out to Nicole, Noah, or Ted at 980-598-1810 or involved.clt@jwu.edu.
