Best Practices
- Assign a Program Administrator.
This person, usually the Membership Officer or Recording Secretary, is responsible for maintaining records of each Enhanced Member's participation. - Encourage New Members to Set Goals.
Distribute information about the program at New Member Orientations. Let members know they are not required to be active, but if they choose to do so, a system of rewards is in place. - Keep the Program Flexible.
Advisors or chapter officers may approve substitutions for required activities when appropriate. - Offer Self-Paced Participation.
The order in which activities are completed does not matter, but to be recognized at a particular level, a member must complete all activities at that level and all lower levels. - Recognize Enhanced Members.
Each chapter may select and present rewards for their Enhanced Members. Reward all active members for the highest level they reach in the program. - Find the Answers.
The chapter advisor is the final authority for determining if a required element of the program has been fulfilled.
