Club Leader Selection

Clubs decide the following year's leadership in early spring

The selection process starts in February and ends early-March. Current club leaders report the names of the new leaders to AASL in the first week of March. These deadlines are communicated to Club Leaders at the SOC meetings and via email.

All selected leaders must commit to leading the Club in the next Academic Year

Additionally, incoming club leaders must be a full-time enrolled student, physically present at SOM for the entire year.

Ensuring broad representation

When conducting elections, think about ways in which to eliminate voting bias, and the best way to ensure broad representation on your leadership team; both in terms of diversity AND professional (i.e. does it really help to have all of your leaders come from the same company background?).

Reporting your Club selection process

To ensure the club selection process is transparent, clubs must report what their election process was for that current academic year in the club re-registration form each May.

Incoming & Elected Club Leaders

Submit your new leaders

You have until March 6 11:55PM EST to do so.

Club Leader Transition

Below is a sample transition timeline for the club leader process that takes place each Spring-1

Club Leader Transition Checklist

Use this transition checklist as a guide for both incoming and outgoing club leaders to transition in and out of each role.

Club Re-Registration

It is up to the incoming club leaders to work with outgoing club leaders on submitting the annual club re-registration form. Clubs are required to submit this form every May through AASL's CampusGroups portal to avoid losing it's active-club status for the next academic years. Any club overseeing a Special Interest Group should have their information recorded in the club's re-registration process.

Club re-registration ensures that appropriate transition and training(s) have been given by outgoing leaders, the club is fulfilling it's role at SOM and overall mission, resources and support have been properly allocated, and that the school has all necessary administrative information required to onboard the club in the next school year.
