So I have graduated college and gotten a job. However, I wanted to make sure my club would be okay without me.
Here are ways to help your club thrive after your gone.
Find your most responsible and hardworking club member. You need to find out if they want a position in your club. Odds are that good club members are very active and might be offered offices in other clubs.
Give them more responsibilities step by step while you are still in office.
When (or if) they get elected give them starting materials. What do they need to know about fundraising, doing events, or gaining members? Do you have raffle tickets, t-shirts, or bank account numbers that they need?
Give them a calendar of what you did when you were in charge. I wish I had that when I was president. It is an excellent guide for your future officers.
Give them a copy of the constitution. You have no idea how often I was asked to forward that on. Give them a hard copy and a digital copy.
Once they are in office let them have your number and email. They will ask questions. If you can, show up to the first few meetings with them in charge. Afterwards talk to them about what they did well. This will boost their confidence and encourage them to stay a leader.
Be supportive as much as you can but let them have the reigns. I slowly took myself out of meetings while those students were in charge. That way they didn't rely on me so heavily and it gave me a chance to focus on graduating.
END ON A HAPPY NOTE:
It has been shown that little children and older people together improves mood and gets them both motivated. How cute is this?
