CTSO Advisor Starter Kit

New advisors get handed a chapter with zero guidance. This kit is the teacher-friendly walkthrough: a first-meeting agenda, a recruitment pitch, a roster and dues tracker, a minutes template, an events calendar, and officer roles.

What’s inside

• A first-meeting agenda template
• A recruitment flyer and pitch script
• A roster, dues tracker, and minutes template
• An events calendar and officer-roles one-pager

Why teachers love it

• Everything a brand-new advisor needs
• Templates you reuse all year
• Works for FBLA, DECA, or SkillsUSA

How to use it in class

Print the first-meeting agenda before your kickoff meeting in September and you already know what to say from the door to the closing announcement. Hand new members the recruitment flyer and pitch script so they can explain the chapter to friends without you standing over their shoulder. As soon as dues start coming in, log them straight into the roster and dues tracker so you are never guessing who has paid. Assign the minutes template to an officer at meeting one and the habit sticks for the rest of the year. Pin the events calendar by your desk so competition and fundraiser deadlines never sneak up on you.
