Hello from your 2nd VP - Maria Barnhart –

Happy New Year to you all. I have received calls and emails about reports. Please know that while transitioning to a new process for reports is a challenge, it will get better. Having the reports in a digital format will make it easier for everyone involved. I encourage you to have patience and be sure to report what your club has done. We are all coping with the challenges of the pandemic. It is truly amazing the projects club women have completed in their communities during this difficult time. Now let’s tell our stories by reporting on these projects.

Let me know if you have questions. You can call me at 404-310-0546 or send an email to mariavbarnhart@gmail.com

Reporting Reminders:
 
  • Go to https://gfwcgeorgia.org/club-resources/reporting-forms/ for more guidance on reporting and to select the appropriate google forms report. 
  • The statistical information includes the data on all the projects for the year 2020 for your specific program area.
  • Next, you choose to select up to 10 projects for which you can prepare a narrative. In addition, you can select one of those 10 projects as your Most Creative /Most Outstanding project. New this year – If your club completed the Challenge Project for your specific CSP you can also include a narrative on this project.
  • Remember the project narratives should be identifiable club projects with a beginning and end addressing the who, what, when, where, and why, and how.
  • Narratives are limited to 500 characters.
  • Suggestion: Consider an engaging first statement in your narrative.
 
 Step by Step Procedures for those preparing end of year reports:

  1. The important first step is to gather your information for your specific CSP, Advancement Area, Special Project, or other reports.
  2. Prepare the reporting worksheet to prepare for data entry into google forms along with a word document for the narratives.
  3. Email a copy of the completed worksheet and narratives to your President/VP for review/approval. It may be helpful to discuss this by phone or zoom.
  4. Make any changes to the worksheet or narratives as discussed with your President/VP.
  5. Input the report to the Google form on GFWC-GA Reporting and Forms webpage.
  6. Once the email response received from GFWC-GA, forward the completed report to the club President for her report.
