The RLF Committee interfaces with recent RLF graduates to help shepherd them to full term membership in the Philadelphia SIM chapter.
Responsibilities
- Support the Mid-Atlantic RLF facilitators/instructors:
o Ensure that notifications are sent out to the Philadelphia SIM chapter regarding the upcoming RLF class registration.
o Attend one of the Mid-Atlantic RLF sessions (per the facilitators invitation) to speak to the attendees about SIM, focusing mainly on the Philadelphia SIM chapter (ex. what committees they can join, examples of programs they can attend).
o Attend the graduation ceremony, handing out the Philadelphia SIM chapter Welcome Letters.
o Post updates to the SIM Philadelphia website and LinkedIn regarding the graduation and any other relevant milestones.
- After graduation, reach out to each of the graduates, establishing a further connection as they are now SIM Philadelphia chapter members.
- Throughout the upcoming year, remain in contact with the RLF graduates, sharing upcoming events they may be interested in attending, answering any questions they may have, etc.
- For those graduates that wish to attend an upcoming event, proactively provide support to ensure they feel a ‘warm welcome’ (ex. ahead of the meeting, pair them with an existing Philadelphia SIM member that will be attending the same event).
** Note: Some RLF attendees that ultimately choose the Philadelphia chapter as their SIM chapter may attend an RLF session other than the Mid-Atlantic session. This could be due to various personal reasons. It is not expected that the Philadelphia chapter RLF Committee would directly interact with other RLF sessions during their class. Given that we would not learn of these RLF graduates until the end of their class, i.e. notified by SIM National, the SIM Philadelphia chapter RLF Committee would then reach out to the RLF graduate to connect one-on-one and provide them with their Welcome Letter via email.
