I came across my old agenda from September 2012. This was one of my proudest moments as I was flooded by a sense accomplishment; in less then a year later we achieved all of the goals listed. Even looking at the agenda I could see the change in structure (thank you FEC!). We re-branded and doubled in size of membership in the first 3 months. We have restructured the DCBA by creating new positions to support the growing number of events while allowing more students to get involved. We re-vamped the website... And the list goes on.
Before finding this old agenda, I never stopped to look at what we had accomplished. We are continuously picking up new tasks and initiatives and because I am always looking forward and I had forgotten to take a moment to absorb. This was my moment. It truly reminded me what an amazing experience I am having and what a large part of my life the DCBA has been in the past year. I believe it was the best choice I could have made in my undergraduate. It is bittersweet as I finish my last semesters and say good-bye.
I have listed a view pros and cons, however before deciding to join a school association, make sure you have the time to commit. Once you have decided to join, familiarize yourself with the association and key members and begin networking and volunteering for events or tasks. I found members to be very welcoming.
