Rotation is Approaching Fast!
Our Area 46 elections, and most district elections are complete. As we approach the end of this rotation, I encourage all of us to think about ways we can rotate well. From a technology standpoint, below are three suggestions on how we can help our successors be successful.
ONE: Clean Email Account
Leave your successor a clean email account.
Now is the time to begin (or continue) cleaning out your email account so that the next person does not have to worry about the clutter we leave behind. Retain any emails you think are important for your successor to read/keep. However, remember that most emails you found important your successor may not.
- Clean out your SENT folder
- Especially “thank you” replies or emails with no real substance
- Clean out your INBOX
- Especially “thank you” replies or emails with no real substance
- Clean out any sub-folders
TWO: File Transfer
Leave your successor files that you have created or were passed on to you that can help them fulfill their role. Below are some different ways you could transfer the files to them.
- Email the files
- Put them on a thumb drive
- Put them on a Google Drive
- Put them in Dropbox
Reach out to the Tech Committee if you need help with this. We are happy to provide assistance.
THREE: List of Resources
Leave your successor links to specific pages on the new Area 46 website that will be good resources for them.
