Student Organization Membership Re-Acknowledgement Emails
Starting in August, the Student Organization Database (SODB) initiated a process to assist organization leaders with keeping organization rosters up to date. Once a member has joined an organization, the SODB will automatically send a follow-up email every six months to confirm that this is an active member. The member will be emailed twice and have two weeks to click the link and log in to reconfirm their membership. If a member does not complete this in two weeks, the SODB will remove them from the organization (and any officer positions they may hold).
In the event the student misses the email, they can rejoin the organization or have an organization leader add them to the organization's roster. Student Engagement staff is working with Web Development to improve on this process by creating a dashboard of membership that will allow a member can reconfirm all organizations in one step.
Organization leaders, please help communicate to your members that these email notifications are important for your organization!

Join the Annual We Lead Conference!
We Lead gives Iowa State students the opportunity to hone their leadership skills, engage in interactive discussions and sessions, network with other leaders from campus and the community, and reflect on their own identities, leadership qualities, and strengths in their respective roles at Iowa State and beyond.
The theme for the conference is "Leadership Beyond" and will focus on the many ways that leadership can show up in our lives, especially for those with marginalized gender identities. The event will feature a variety of sessions that will focus specifically on “Beyond the Binary,” “Beyond #GirlBoss,” and “Beyond Graduation,” with a keynote address from Roberta Blevins, as seen in Amazon’s DocuSeries "LuLaRich" and her podcast, “Life After MLM.”
We Lead will take place on Saturday, October 29 from 10am-5pm in the Memorial Union.
Registration for the event is free for all ISU students and includes a complimentary lunch and a post-conference mentorship social.

Resources and Opportunities for Organizations and Officers
Student Government Funding Allocations and Adjustments
Student Government Reviews from FY22 have now been completed by the Campus Organizations Accounting staff, and any leftover line item funds have been returned to Student Government for future allocations and/or senate bills. The transaction detail for your organization will show any removal of funds and there are attachments to those transactions so you can easily see exactly what and how these amounts were calculated. The attachment is in Excel so you can click on a cell and see the detail.
The current year (FY23) allocations are complete if your organization is in good standing, and has a positive balance in the financial account. This would be a great time to take a look at your budget from Student Government if you have one and make your plans for the year. Remember, you can always request a line item transfer if your plans have changed since requesting the budget last February!
Treasurers you may find these transactions and the balance in your account by running these reports:

Preserve Your Organization's History with University Archives
Student organizations play an important role in college life and have a lasting impact on the University. Because of the nature of being a student sees you leave after graduating, much of the history of an organization can be lost or forgotten over time. The Iowa State University Archives invites student organizations to partner with us to help preserve your organization’s history, including especially its creation, development, priorities, and activities.
We value the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion. All organizations are welcome and part of the ISU legacy. We particularly welcome organizations of minoritized groups and activists who have often been left out, erased, or otherwise lack a sense of belonging in archives.
For more information on how to participate, please contact Greg Bailey, University Archivist, at gtbailey@iastate.edu.
