Recommendations for future leaders
3:35pm-4:45pm
ASPCC Recommendations
Josh: Get your reports/applications in on time.
Luis: Check your emails, don’t just scan them.
Axkana: Don’t send emails because they don’t get checked. When it comes to notifying other people it is better to talk
to them in person.
Ulises: Plan ahead and get a planner.
Nolby: Double check the material for spelling and grammar.
Kevin: It would be helpful to get in contact with past leaders so that they can help you.
Susan: Make your ideas/events interactive so that they appeal to the general population.
Loretta: If you have a misunderstanding it is better to talk to that person directly to avoid more conflict.
Luis: Speak your mind in the meetings even if you are the only one who shares your point of view.
Yesenia: Make sure that you work with other centers.
Yollixpa: Within your team stay organized. Delegate tasks and use your strengths.
Pablo: Don’t forget that you are representing the students.
Derick: Keep in mind to be diplomatic and fair.
Erica: Advertise with lots of time in advance.
MariC: Be proactive; take the initiative when it comes to tasks/events. Make sure that you have good communication
and that there is delegation of tasks/jobs.
Axkana: Listen to your peers.
Pablo: When you are not sure what the best course of action is, refer to students outside of ASPCC.
Ulises: Don’t be afraid to ask for help.
Erica: Don’t forget that you are a student too.
Yessica: Don’t get too caught up with your own center.
Loretta: Use your advisors, don’t be afraid of them.
Axkana: Have fun.
Josh: Remember that you are spending other student’s money; be practical with the money that you are using.
Huitzi: Make sure you spell check everything because it looks really bad when you are sending an email or have a
presentation that is misspelled.
Loretta: When people see a spelling error people come up to me and ask if my students did this because it is misspelled.
Da Hyun: Do not get stressed out, have fun and enjoy yourself.
Jenalyn: Make sure that you can change gears and do your homework.
Huitzi: Don’t be afraid to say no, even to an advisor.
Karen: If you can’t do something don’t feel bad. Be honest, if you cannot do something, don’t commit.
Josh: This year I had a student ask me to be quiet because she thought I was trying to sway her decision. I think that a
student must be able to be challenged and still have their opinion. So whether it is an advisor playing devil’s advocate or
another student disagreeing with you, you must be capable of having the courage and security with yourself to be able
to still make a decision while listening to feedback or different opinions.
Jonathan: Expect everything to go wrong if you are in leadership, and if something goes wrong. The easiest way to
resolve things is to have direct conversations. Every once in a while it will benefit you to just talk; confrontation isn’t
necessarily a bad thing.
Loretta: Read the minutes, it is important. You must be informed and judicial with the money that you have given out.
Jonathan: Yea read the minutes.
Yesenia: Respect each other.


See the importance for girls to go to school
and become educated
Raise Awareness around educating girls
Girl Rising is not only film but also a global
movement. It puts the spotlight on the power
of education to change a girl and to
transform the world. Girl Rising is more than
people we may never see or places we may
never visit. It's about supporting girls to have
the opportunities they deserve. It's about
localizing the issue of getting girls into school.
