AOR
Mentoring
If
you are the AOR for this year, you will want to consider contacting
the person who was your student society's AOR last year. SAAAPA recommends
this because last year's AOR will be able to provide you with information
and insight just from the experiences of being at the AOR as a representative
and this information might be issues, concerns, suggestions that the
new AOR can not read about prior to attending the assembly.
Also,
as the current AOR, it is your responsibility to mentor next year's
AOR, so make sure that throughout the year you takes notes about the
information you want to share with the next AOR, such as:
-
Things
you wish you had known prior to the AOR.
-
Advice
that other people shared with you, which helped your AOR experience.
-
Who
the AOR representative might meet at the AOR or who they should
attempt to meet and why?
-
What
were the highlights of your AOR experience?
-
Mistakes
that you made, so your program's next AOR does not have those same
issues.
Remember,
the AOR session being completed does not mean that your term as AOR
is over, until the next person is named the AOR, you are still currently
holding that position. Therefore, you will still need to complete the
responsibilities of the AOR, such as being the liaison between SAAAPA
and your student society and all other responsibilities of the AOR position,
until the next person takes office.
