Role of Club Advisors

Effective advisors will advise on club and College of Western Idaho (CWI) processes but will also allow club members to plan and make decisions and mistakes. They will partake in club decisions and educate members in order for them to make informed choices.

• assist club members in managing a budget and making financial decisions that adhere to club policies, and signing off on all financial documents
• be proactive in helping the students plan club events, fundraisers, and travel
• approve all club forms prior to them being sent to Student Engagement
• assist clubs in making educated decisions
• work closely with Student Engagement in all club processes
• hold club members accountable when they fail to follow policies and procedures
• maintain communication with club officers and Student Engagement regarding all events, issues, travel, etc.
• help foster individual and team leadership among the club members
