Resource Group Chairs: Group Membership & Marketing
How are group chairs selected?
Group leaders are selected each July/August by the Resource Group Chair and Executive Director. If there are group members who show leadership potential and interest, please let the Executive Director know.
Who can join a Resource Group?
Groups are open to any CSEA school or employer Premium Member (this was determined by the Board of Directors, and staff do not have the ability to make exceptions). The following groups are exclusive to their specific audience:
- Career Center Leaders (open to the senior most person responsible for MBA/Masters career services at each school)
- Employers (open to employers only)
How does a member join a Resource Group?
Premium school and employer members can join a Resource Group by completing the interest form, which can be found on the CSEA web site: http://www.mbacsea.org/resourcegroups. CSEA staff receive the interest forms that are submitted and add group members to each respective group's roster, which can be accessed by the group chairs within the Smartsheet workspace. If someone reaches out to the group chair about joining the group (or if they want a colleague to join), they should be directed to the web site to complete the interest form. This also helps ensure that CSEA receives permission to share their contact information with group members.
If a member wishes to leave the group, let the Executive Director know so they can be removed from the group roster.
How are Resource Groups promoted?
Members can join groups year-round. Groups are primarily promoted during the conferences, through emails sent by the Executive Director, and through the CSEA web site and social media. Group chairs can promote their group in other places if desired (through webinars, virtual round tables, the online community, etc.), as long as members are directed to complete the form within their login to join the group.
