Staff advisors are there to help you. They don't do the work for you but they will advise you about planning and organising things.

If you are putting together a Core Group and you've got your principal's permission to form an OSAID chapter, you are going to need the benefit of good advice. That's what your Staff Advisor is there for and that's why OSAID chapters all have advisors!

When you talk to the principal, ask him if he can suggest a member of staff or, be proactive - ask a member of staff if they'd be willing to think about being your OSAID advisor. 

Getting a Staff Advisor will help you.
