Organization Choice, Scott Dennis, 4/2/08, ElizabethD0201
I have decided to choose Campus Crusade for Christ as my organization to help because I see a tremendous glip in the Friday night all campus meeting. CRU is a Christian organization here on Purdue's campus and on 3,500 campuses in the US and overseas. Here at Purdue, we meet regularly on Friday nights and engage in a time of worship, that usually includes a talk. One of the biggest complaints that I have with CRU is that they do not have a consistent speaker. They will bring in people from all over the region, have someone on staff speak, or allow a senior to speak. These are all good alternatives, but I think a consistent speaker, someone who is gifted in speaking, would be a wise choice for the organization. The consistency of one main speaker with an occasional change (ie a guest speaker) would be a much better choice than having amateur speakers every single week throughout the year.

Elizabeth,
Having a consistent speaker can really be helpful for your organization. If the speaker varies every week, there might be people that might not want to go because they don’t know whether it’d be worth the time to. Maybe you can have a dedicated speaker, but have guest speakers come in once a month or so to be a little more differentiated. This way, you’ll have more time searching for a gifted and/or professional speaker rather than just an amateur speaker. Or maybe you’ll attract a few members who are good speakers that would like to speak during one of the weekly meetings.
