The Measure Of Our Success
This book was the foundation of my starting the “Sustainer Spotlight” initiative on our JLL Blog. I was curious what influenced our League Members to experience success.

Kristina’s Favorite Session
Favorite Session “Keeping Teams on Track”
Teaching Points We need to discuss and debate, even if it
makes meetings longer Debate during meetings actually saves
time by helping to avoid “parking lot meetings” after meetings
We should always stick to the facts during debate and never make it personal
Open debate can ensure that everyone’s ideas are considered
Debate can help keep us focused on the mission
Bottom line: If something does not support our mission, it does not need to happen

Geosocial NetworkingAn electronic "sign in sheet" that requires the use of a smartphone and a location-based service application such as Foursquare, Facebook Places, Yelp, etc. We can "claim" our League headquarters and create "tips" at League-founded agencies and sites of League work to increase awareness of JLL

Danielle’s Favorite Session
Favorite Session “Collaborative Decision-Making”Teaching Points How to identify decision- making styles of myself and
my fellow leaders. Choosing the correct decisions-making method for
the right situation. Small boards and groups allow for better and more
productive decision making process. Don’t allow members to lose their excitement in the
Junior League. Members learn a lot from ODIs and return with new and fresh ideas. Getting provisionals involved in the training process it important.
Once a decision has been made: Manage the Change. If change is not managed, then this can result in a loss.
When dealing with a board or a committee, it is important to know the various decision–making roles and styles.
A consensus decision-making process is the vest method. Everyone has been heard and can live with the decision.
-Naomi Chavez Peters, Director of Leadership and Employee Development at Salesforce.com

Amy’s Favorite Session
Favorite Session “Collaborative Decision-Making”
Teaching Points: * 3 Steps to Change: - Have right people making the decision- Communicating the New Decision to Membership- Follow-up with Timely Training so Membership
understands the change
* Types of Decision Making:- Majority Vote - raise hands or secret ballot- Consensus - everyone's ideas are heard and all
agree with decision (best, but often not possible)
- Consultive - Final decision-maker (leader) asks for input before ultimately making final decision.
- Committee - small group makes decision, ie: Executive Council
- Autocratic - 1 person makes decision (efficient, however neglects experience of the group)

Favorite Session
“Diversity and Inclusion- Strategies for Strengthening Membership Satisfaction and Retention”
Teaching Points
1. Learn the cultural diversity in our own community. What communities can you engage? Compile your diversity history as an organization.
2. Be respectful and authentic when making effort for outreach. Engage members you are trying to attract and think through what's in it for them to be involved with your organization.
3. Align and create linkage in all aspects of your business plan/ activities. Plan them around what the ethnic group would respond to . Utilize local businesses of ethnic diversity to activate other members.
4. Take a long term view. But consider short term goals. Measure progress.

Jean’s Favorite Session
Favorite Session “Financial Awareness for a Junior League Board ”Teaching Points JL Board members have legal fiscal responsibility and
financial oversight duties – need to understand financial operations
As public charity, there is obligation to donors, members and taxpayers (public)
There was a good review of nonprofit financial terminology to know: permanently restricted, temporarily restricted, unrestricted; surplus and deficit; sources of revenue and expenses; balance sheet; cash flow; budget; statement of activities; variances; forecast
Data points can assembled in a dashboard to describe what is happening to affect critical numbers (like membership numbers, in categories) – example of good nonprofit dashboard is Indianapolis Museum of Art - http://dashboard.imamuseum.org/
Suggested presentation of critical numbers to Board (sample financial report and written highlights) and to membership (add pie charts, graphs).
IRS requirement – Form 990 – legally must be available to anyone who requests and will contain financial results, charitable mission, programs & services, description of activities and MUST be shared with Board before being filed

#2 Motions coming out of a committee do not need a second
#3 The meeting Chairman may vote to break a tie or create a tie
#4 A second main motion can be on the floor before announcing the result of a prior motions ballot vote as long as the second motion has nothing to do with the ballot vote that is being counted
