Webinar description:
Great student leadership does not happen alone—but effective advising should never mean taking over. In this moderated panel, California community college student leaders will share how students and advisors can build trust, clarify expectations, prepare for meetings, navigate disagreement, and follow through on decisions. Gain practical, student-informed strategies for strengthening both board effectiveness and advisor relationships.

Discussion topics would include:

  1. Building trust between student leaders and advisors
  2. Providing guidance without taking over student leadership
  3. Preparing chairs, boards, and advisors for effective meetings
  4. Using parliamentary procedure and advisor support appropriately during meetings
  5. Navigating disagreements between students and advisors
  6. Providing constructive feedback after difficult meetings
  7. Strengthening accountability and follow-through on board decisions

Participant takeaways:
By the end of the session, participants will be able to identify student-informed practices for building trust, preserving student ownership, preparing for effective meetings, navigating disagreement, and improving accountability and follow-through.
