Dear Ohio State Chapter,
Congratulations on a successful first quarter! We in the National Office are excited about your progress,
and cannot wait to see what you do with the rest of the school year. Our organization is what it is
because of the hard work that you do as students, and we cannot thank you enough for your great
effort.
This document is a report summarizing our record of some of your chapter’s accomplishments so far this
school year, as well as some key items to think about as we begin 2010. The purpose of this report is to:
• Summarize some of the participation and ventures related activities of your chapter thus far
• Demonstrate your progress as compared with other Nourish chapters like yours
• Connect you with other chapters in similar situations
• Remind you about your chapter goals as you begin a new quarter
Please keep in mind that your chapter has accomplished many things that have not been captured in
this report. This is intended to measure your progress in certain areas that are easily quantifiable. Other
aspects of your chapter’s work (such as raising awareness about global poverty on campus, engaging in
dialogue, developing leadership and entrepreneurial skills, to name a few) are more difficult to measure.
As Nourish strives to develop more robust metrics, we will seek ways to include more of these
intangibles into future reports.
Also note that there may be discrepancies between what is reported here and what is actually
happening on the ground at your chapter. Many of these figures have been gathered solely through
information provided during weekly calls. If you note any discrepancies, you can discuss them with the
Chapter Coordinator during your next call.
This report includes information on the following:
• Chapter goals – Your chapter’s goals, including those set at the beginning of the year and
adjusted goals that were discussed during the wrap-up call
• Ventures – A summary of the ventures your chapter completed this quarter.
• Student Participation – Estimates of the size of your chapter, based on the number of students
actively involved.
• Chapter profit – Your profit from the first quarter, as calculated by the National Office.
• Other Chapters – Where your chapter stands as compared to other Nourish chapters, and a list
of similar chapters to connect with.

Goals:
The following is a summary of the goals conversation during the final call of last quarter.
Original goals - At the beginning of the 2009-2010 school year, your chapter established the following
goals, with the following results observed (goals with a check mark have essentially been accomplished):
 Build an active membership base
o Progress: Doing really well in this area. About 30 people come to meetings (increased
from 10) - not all are personal contacts of chapter leader, all are active and engaged.
o Next Steps: Get to know chapter members better
 Delegate more responsibility to exec board
o Progress: Great improvements from last year – both chapter leader and exec board
members are doing a much better job of delegating.
o Next Steps: Instill more accountability so that less follow-up and enforcement required
on part of chapter leader
• Increase awareness/presence on campus
o Progress: Haven’t focused much on this area
o Next Steps: Want to work on doing more advertising, having some bigger events, having
partnerships, emailing other groups on campus
• Raise $5,000 this year
o Progress: Have raised $XXXXX so far
o Next Steps: Plan some larger scale ventures next quarter – may need to reassess and
lower goal if things don’t go well
Adjusted goals – Based on the progress noted above, coming into 2010 your chapter will strive toward
achieving the following adjusted goals:
1. Work on exec board member/chapter member accountability
