COMPASS programs are conducted by highly experienced trainers who bring many years of MSA and professional experience. The trainers offer a relevant and empowering perspective to Muslim students. They are also graduates of COMPASS' train-the-trainers program.
The following COMPASS management training programs (CMTP) are currently available:
CMTP 101 is an interactive daylong management-training program that is geared towards MSA chapters that have not received prior COMPASS training. The training focuses on introducing the individual MSA activist to basic concepts and skills necessary for a successful and productive MSA activism experience. CMTP 101 is suitable for start-up and small MSA chapters and chapters that wish to build the skills of their individual members. Topics include time management, gender relations and effective communications.
CMTP 201 is a daylong management-training program that introduces MSA leaders and activists to state-of-the art management concepts that are the building blocks for an effective and dynamic organization. These modules are appropriate for an MSA chapter that has already hosted CMTP 101 or that is ready to start the process of institutionalizing its presence on campus. Topics include conflict resolution, project management and team building.
CMTP 301 is a daylong management-training program that seeks to put MSA chapters on the path towards long-term strategic planning. Essential elements of institutionalizing the organization are discussed, with a focus on sound financial management, effective fundraising and succession planning. The basics of strategic planning are also introduced. This module is appropriate for a mature MSA chapter with a continuous and established presence on campus. The topics discussed are relevant to MSA officers and individuals involved in the daily operation of the organization.
CMTP401 is a weekend long retreat where trained COMPASS facilitators work with MSA stakeholders to formulate a strategic plan. A typical program will include pre-retreat surveying of stakeholders, assessment of the strength and weaknesses of the organization, building consensus on the mission of the organization and an outline of near-term objectives and long-term goals. COMPASS facilitators are also available for follow up and evaluation throughout the implementation of the strategic plan.
Requests for COMPASS programs should be submitted at least 6 weeks before the intended program date. Contact your MSA National zonal representative or email for more information.
