For Club
Officers: Here are a few important points to
remember as you support members through these updates.
As a club officer, there are a few
important things to keep in mind:
1. Meeting
Role Credit
Each member must complete their required meeting roles
while working
within the relevant level in order to receive
credit. For example, a role completed in Level 1
cannot
be counted toward Level 3.
Note: The
Table
Topics Speaker role must be completed
before delivering your Ice Breaker speech.
2. Minimum
Participation Requirement
These role assignments represent the
minimum level
of participation needed to complete each level.
Members are strongly encouraged to take on additional
meeting roles that match their skills, goals, and the
needs of their club.
3. Recording
Roles in Base Camp
Members can track their meeting roles directly in their
Base Camp
Profile. Near the bottom of the profile page,
locate the section titled
“Meeting
Roles.” There, members can enter each role and
the date it was fulfilled.
These entries are
visible to Base Camp Managers when viewing a member’s
profile.
