AN INTERNATIONAL PROFESSIONAL BODY FOR THEMEING, RESORT HOSPITALITY AND COASTAL SPACE PLANNING  
IDAD CHAPTERS HANDBOOK  
 

 
  Introduction
The IDAD Chapter Handbook is only a guide. The contained suggestions are merely insight for consideration, not hard and fast rules. These ideas can be used to improve certain aspects of your Chapter’s functions. After reviewing the information, it is up to you to evaluate and adjust the suggestions to fit your IDAD Chapter’s needs.

The Chapter Handbook is a resource and a tool; you may refer to this publication for support and planning insight for successful Chapter formation. It is a repository of information from the IDAD Office, and an archive of Chapter experiences from year to year.

The IDAD International Office, Directors, and consulting Coordinators can suggest avenues for improvement. At this level, these leaders speak at Chapter formation sessions on the most pertinent concerns you may have as a new Chapter. However, the Chapter Handbook remains, in a sense, the most support you can count on after the initial organizational meeting.

IDAD is only as strong as its Chapters. The Chapter Handbook can help you strengthen any new Chapter by improving the professional nature of your standing in the field. A successful IDAD Chapter is not one with the most members, but one that supports quality programs conducted by the international office. When Chapter members are a part of a strong International Body through IDAD, they will encourage others to join local sections and your Chapter will grow.

Send an IDAD introductory letter out to professionals and students explaining IDAD and your Chapter to the individual, offering them the opportunity to join. With fund-raising for your Chapter, you still should be able to offer members a substantial discount on their Chapter membership if they take on office functions within the IDAD Chapter.

Opportunities exist for IDAD Chapter members to represent your local section on various committees within the international IDAD body.

Utilize your Regional Chapter to encourage activity among schools in your represented fields drawn from the Chapter membership’s various backgrounds. This is a great way for students to become aware of other architecture/design and travel education programs.

Handle most of your correspondence by phone or fax if you have no “office” space; use copy machines, computers, phones, supplies, etc. from the membership and remember to recognize their contributions of time and resources.

Communicate on behalf of the Chapter body with members at various times-in the form of letters, requests, or suggestions. A close professional relationship with your major supporters and the international IDAD office body is important.

Designate web space for the IDAD Chapter. Site topics should include IDAD Chapter meetings, member opportunities, IDAD & Chapter publications, local IDAD activity, newsletters, etc.

Prepare an informational packet for new members and basic orientation, as well as anything else to build your particular IDAD Chapter, including Chapter archives and records. Meetings are helpful if they are scheduled at the same time each term.

Have an entertainment-based meeting plan, with a “destinations-feel” in which the newly-elected members have fun doing the needed work without over-taxing yourself and the Chapter. People will be pleased that you ask them to be involved.

CHAPTER ROLES
The Chapter always supports IDAD goals and focus; and to develop, the new Chapter must be professional, and growth-oriented. While IDAD attributes are effective attractants, the Chapter has obligations to earn the respect and confidence of fellow professionals. The Chapter leadership will obviously feel a burden of responsibility and accountability; however, do not let this produce fear of service in the Chapter membership.

Become aware of the local architectural and Destination community. Graduate students can be a great resource to an IDAD Chapter. Connect with business and industry supporters who have the same Human Health, Safety and Welfare goals which complement the greater Institute objectives .

Delegate: Chapter leaders are not the Chapter; members with roles to play in the Chapter have proactive interest in maintaining their status as Chapter members. The Leadership is there to provide oversight and track progress, and recognize, then resolve problems. Practice positive reinforcement: let members know that they are appreciated -- this feedback goes a long way.

The Chapter leadership must be diligent in its duties: schedule time each week, to be spent working on Chapter activities. Set direction: every Chapter has the potential to grow and improve. The Chapter can profit from the foresight of the collective membership. The Chapter should constantly labor toward reaching local/regional/national and international goals -- this will improve the Chapter, even if all goals are not realized.

A useful way Chapter leadership can evaluate your new IDAD Chapter is to compare it to other associations. Common standards of excellence serve not only as examples, but also provide specific goals which may produce improvement of all aspects in your Chapter. Identify traits, which can be applied to your new Chapter which will help expand and improve the organization, and IDAD profession. Weaknesses will keep your Chapter from achieving excellence. Promote the uniqueness of the profession and the advantage in defining the field and pursuing leading roles in the design, research and development practice.

Plan for both the long- and short-terms, from finances to bylaws. Do not perform planning for the future of the entire Chapter; rather, set a timetable for the plan to be completed and reviewed by members. All goals should demonstrate that IDAD Chapters are committed to the long-term success of the profession.

Since many IDAD Chapters may rely upon events for sources of revenue, however, meetings and socials are not planning goals; they are methods for realization of Chapter objectives. Some examples are as follows:

Roundtable with professionals
Joint meetings with other associations
Lecture series
Presentations
Demonstrations
Project tours
Workshops
Seminars
Tours
Film series
Career support
Newspaper
Competitions
Materials e-store

FUNDRAISING
Everyone in the Chapter should constantly be on the lookout for potential donors. Keep fund-raising goals in mind as you come in contact with corporate executives, professionals, and associations.

Chapters need to develop a marketing plan to inform potential donors about your Chapter and your programs. In this way, fund raising becomes a very positive and valuable informational outreach. Be true to your statements: the Chapter's reputation could be damaged and future chances for funding could be limited once your credibility is tarnished.

The following information on foundations is included to assist Chapters in approaching foundations for the purpose of fundraising in the form of grants and other aid. From cultivating relationships with people in a position to help local Chapters, to submitting proposals for grants, these suggestions are intended to serve as a guide, but are not hard and fast rules.

CULTIVATING FOUNDATION RELATIONSHIPS
Don’t appear to be asking leading questions.

Like people, every foundation is different, with preferred styles of approach. Don’t let lack of assurance of this keep you from calling.

Small, family foundations: the donor himself may speak with you.
Variations will be apparent between each call...be ready to respond to these.

Remain relaxed and confident, regardless of how sharp or alert the questioning may be as the discussion proceeds.

Remember, repeated calls many times still go unanswered.

Persistence is the key to winning funding.

If you cannot get through with a call, send an E-mail.
If this isn’t possible, send a letter. If your letter is not responded to, send your letter of inquiry, anyway.

Accomplish all of the above without being “pushy.”

Making the initial contact:
Make it clear that you have read the guidelines, but you need clarification as to whether your project would fit their program. You are not making a solicitation by telephone. Research shows this will promote name recognition; it tests the compatibility between you and the funder it permits you to gauge their reaction on an informal level before you actually submit.

Remember, this may be the contact person for future calls and letters. State up-front why you are calling: “My name is___________,we share many purposes and goals with your foundation. I am endeavoring to clarify some points with you concerning our mutual “fit” with a Chapter Project that I am initiating. [insert a customized concern about a program-specific item which needs clarification] After clarification, inquire if you can submit a proposal. Request an appointment, as you would enjoy a face-to-face conversation about the potentials you are seeing in this relationship. (this is interpersonal development, enhancing your name recognition and recall of this conversation; few funders are willing to have a meeting without at least having an initial proposal on the table, but it is worth inquiring about this-in fact, it is recommended by all sources available to us that you should inquire about a potential meeting each time you speak with a potential funder)

Offer an on-site visit at one of the project locations don’t forget to continue to communicate once you have submitted your proposal-you don’t want to get lost in the shuffle If the proposal is considered for an award, sources say there could be alot of interaction between you and the foundation; some foundations will have a program officer follow up, offering guidance regarding the proposal submission; once the award is made, many will require up-dates and progress reports after the proposal is sent, cultivating the funder:


Communicate by phone or E-mail
Inquire two weeks after sending proposal to foundation, as to confirm that it was received: “This is ___________at_______, an applicant for funding. I would like to confirm the receipt of our proposal and offer again to meet with your foundation, and/or provide any additional information as needed. If desired, I would be happy to arrange a site meeting with all those interested in seeing first-hand the potentials offered by our proposal.”
If no response to this offer in two weeks, we recommend the following contact: “This is ____________; our proposal is currently being reviewed by your foundation. I am calling to inquire about the process and timing of your review of our proposal, so I can determine whether to send you up-dated information. Also, I want to inquire about when it would be appropriate to schedule a meeting at your office or, if you prefer, a site visit.”
Call periodically hereafter to check on the status of your proposal; if you have no response in the timeframe provided you by the foundation, we recommend the following: “This is ________ I felt it important to call to determine if there has been a change in schedule concerning the review of our proposal, or if additional information is required. Also, feel free to contact me if any questions should arise or you wish to meet to discuss the potentials of our proposal.”
Any calls made after this point, use “small-talk” and repeat the questions asked previously, and remember giving is a highly personal activity, and the better your rapport with the donor, the more likely funding will be.
Send written up-dates, newsletters, bulletins, brochures or other frequently-issued information to the foundations during this waiting period; it is not necessary to customize these materials, but we do recommend the following note: “Thanks for your consideration and helpful conversations. I wanted to update you during this time, and hope this [newsletter] provides informative reading. ___________(Your Name)”

Website or other internet coverage of your activities: consider a site or internet resource that the foundation can use to make electronic inquiries on you and your vitae and past projects and successes also consider the possibility of selected E-mail communications, especially if they have communicated with you this way initially (phone calls are always preferable)

CALLS/CONTACTS/CULTIVATING
You will speak most frequently with support staff who function as important people in foundations. Some foundations have no staff. You will not often get to speak with vice presidents and presidents of foundations. People who review requests for funding are often referred to by the foundations as grantmakers.

CHECK E-MAIL STRATEGY
Arrange and schedule multiple checks per day of your e-mail messages.

DIRECT CONTACT STRATEGY
If you do not currently have cellular phone service, buy pre-paid phone as the most economical choice, as you must maintain without delay and postponement, the ability to converse one-on-one with grantmakers, who frequently call to clarify points in your proposal. They do not need to be frustrated by your existing availability through departmental phone lines.

INFORMATIONAL FOLDER STRATEGY
Prepare a concise compact “black book” of facts on each foundation to which proposals are submitted, as well as your key points and objectives outline to be kept on your person, as you need to be prepared to answer detailed questions which will occur during the time following proposal submission and acceptance. You have many foundations to remain familiar with and do not need to be caught off-guard by an unexpected phone call by a grantmaker.

CHAPTER BYLAWS
Chapter bylaws should be the same as this section of the Chapter Handbook, which includes the model format. A poorly written set of bylaws can hurt a Chapter, yet, bylaws should not be left undone. Bylaws are the place to spell out all Chapter missions and objectives as this sets the definite course of action for the Chapter and alleviates most questions about what the chapter may do.

Bylaws outline needs and goals of your Chapter, being a membership-driven organization, Chapter bylaws must be specific about voting and quorum requirements. Bylaws always have provisions for amendments. Please review the model Chapter bylaws (below) and the IDAD Bylaws.
