METHODS OF MOTIVATION• Provide incentives for council members (i.e.

Gift certificate to the member who brings the most people to the next program)

• Recognition and awards for council members • Bring fun snacks to council meetings• Spring semester have a welcome back pizza

party • Have a surprise meeting and take the council

some where exciting

Who’s Supporting you?

• Ways to find support • Each Community Council will have a member of

the RHA executive board as a hall liaison. − Keep open communication with this member.

• There should be closer collaboration between the Student Staff Members and the Community Council − Having the Community Council meetings directly

after staff meeting. Have the RA’s sit in on the Community Council meetings

− Have a RA be the Community Council Co-Adviser

as a collateral assignment.

Things my dad never told me.

• Benefits of the Hall Council vs. Community Council • You do not have to create a Community Council,

it is at the advisers discretion whether or not their building will combine with another. Provides autonomy for the advisers in the building− Look at the dynamics and interest of the students. − Review the dynamics from the annual report from

last year. − Ask the Student Staff members what they think

works best for the population of students living in the building.

How many combinations can you find?
