The journey to building clout has several main steps along the way:
*Develop The Organization's Goals With a Mission Statement (Refine As Needed)
*Start Small With A Group Of "Early Adoptors" and Supports
*Incorporate Engagement Through Social Media
*Develop Faculty Support
== Start Small<br/> ==
Build a small coalition of people you trust to move the project forward. Here numbers matter less than impact. You want people who are 100% committed to the vision of what needs to be accomplished. This small coalition (which may included faculty) will serve as the main cheerleaders for your project, encouraging other to be a part of it and building clout.
== Use Incorporate Social Media<br/> ==
Social media will help you post ideas, share events, gauge interest and organize people. You can learn when people will be willing to meet up and for what kind of activities. It's important that there are many social activities to help others get each other and get over the social barriers first. Building a social media presence gets more people talking about the project – word of mouth power is clout.
