Transition Tip:  Gather Important Documents, Including Constitution 

Did your RSO amend your constitution this year? Be sure you’ve updated Mav Central to reflect these changes. Here’s how to update your constitution on file. Mav Central has a File section where you can upload documents that you want to pass on to future officers of your organization. You can set permissions for files so only officers can view. Here’s a how-to video about uploading files. This is a great alternative to usb flash drives that can get lost in the shuffle or if you don’t have a Microsoft Team or other group collaboration space
