Transition of Leadership
The transition of leadership is one of the most important responsibilities of student leaders. Passing on information to successive leaders ensures that new officers are prepared to provide the organizations with effective leadership.
Information about the 2024-2025 election transition process will release Spring 2025.
An effective turnover of leadership:
• Provides the information necessary for the organization to function
• Minimizes the loss of momentum and accomplishment for the group
• Increases the confidence of the new leadership
• Provides a sense of continuity from year to year

• Procedures and traditions
