A new student organization always has a need for people to invest time and energy into startup. There is a need for technical documents that show how the officers should conduct themselves in matters pertaining to the running of the organization. It should reflect how the meetings will be held, what the different officers will do what at the meetings, and the various other duties of the members. It should also have information that tells how the treasurer should handle the money that comes in through both membership dues and donations to mission outreach projects. One of the goals for the organization is to eventually start sending people to other countries on mission trips, in order to do this a large amount of money will have to be raised and collected. Keeping such a stockpile of money in a lockbox on one person would be an unnecessary risk. Therefore there needs to be a guideline on how to handle dealings with a bank for the treatment of these funds, and clear setup for a way to make sure that no one person can have easy access to the funds in a way that would lead to the temptation to steal from the organization’s goals and have the money used for other means.

After the initial technical manual, that will show the members and officers how the organization should be run, is complete there is also a need for a website that will explain many of these concepts to an audience at a level that is easier for the average reader to understand. The technical manual will have to use very complex language in order to be precise enough so that its purpose and goals are not misunderstood, as such it could have language in it that makes it difficult for some potential members to understand. The website’s primary goal will be the recruiting of new members and keeping existing members up to date on the dealings of the organization. It will feature sections that allows for people to sign up for a mailing list, it will also feature the technical manual in pdf format, but retain the easiest access to sections that are designed for recruitment.
