Running a Booster Club often comes with a major learning curve. The leadership team must research the best practices, get a pulse on the student body, understand advertising, learn how to plan massive events, understand fundraising techniques, and a seemingly endless list of other tasks. By having a booster club leadership transition plan, you can avoid losing the years of club progress and information!
It’s hugely important that organizations have a strategy for booster club leadership transitions. This plan ought to be all-encompassing, and ensure that the next round of booster club leaders are well-informed and set up for success. It will help the next president, vice president, treasurer, and secretary jump the many hurdles that come with a transition of power.
Ideally, your Booster Club leadership team has taken thorough notes throughout its time in power. Maybe it’s a series of documents with specifics on event planning, a list of all the log-in information for the social media accounts, a calendar with important dates for financial deadlines or quarterly fundraisers, a drive with past Booster Club photos and the history of the club, or orders from past fundraisers. Whatever documentation you have will be extremely helpful for the next group.
Imagine this scenario: Your Booster Club is planning to sell T-shirts for a fundraiser, but you’re not sure how many you should order. You’re nervous about over-ordering and losing money, or under-ordering and losing the opportunity to make more money.
Having the receipts or documentation of similar orders from previous years can help you gage the amount of students who would be interested in buying shirts this year. It could also help you to know how to price your shirts, when to sell them, and how to advertise the T-shirt sale.
Passing off any and all documents is an excellent way to share knowledge with the next team and should be a part of your booster club leadership transition plan. Further, it’s easier for the next team to add to or edit preexisting documents than to create their own.
After your Booster Club’s elections, the current and future leader in each position ought to have a one-on-one meeting. It can be initiated by either person, and is a great opportunity for the in-coming leader to ask the out-going leader specific questions about the best ways to complete their tasks. Here are some things each position might want to cover in their power transition meeting.
One of the final steps your booster club leadership transition plan can take to ensure a successful transition of power, is a series of three group meetings.
While three back-to-back meetings may sound tiresome, we’re sure each one will be well worth it and ensure that your booster club leadership transition is as smooth as can be. Meeting with the past leadership team, meeting as the new leadership team, and finally, meeting as the new booster club will inspire confidence that the booster club lives on!

As students graduate or interests change, new openings emerge for parents in booster club leadership teams. While everyone has new ideas and strategies when in leadership roles, it’s important that traditions, helpful practices, and important tasks aren’t forgotten in the booster club leadership transition process.
Booster Clubs can withstand the test of time (aka make it from one year to the next) if they pass along key club documents, meet with past leaders, and meet as a team. Detailed documents are helpful because they cut back on the research each leadership team must conduct and errors they may make. Meeting with past leaders is also necessary, because it’s a great opportunity to pass down useful information that is specific to each position. Moreover, meeting as teams helps everyone get on the same page and feel excited to begin again.
