How to complete a Club Emissary Visit
STEP 1
Find a club that you’d like to visit that fits your schedule — the club does not have to be in your Area, your Division or even District 74!
STEP 2
CHECK CLUB REQUIREMENTS
- You cannot be a member of the club you are ‘visiting’
- Nor have been a member in the past year
- Area Directors are required to visit the clubs in their respective areas, therefore they cannot earn credit for visiting their assigned clubs. They CAN earn credit for visiting clubs in adjacent areas within their Divisions and beyond.
- To become a club emissary, will have to visit a club and submit a completed emissary form.
STEP 3
- Verify meeting date/time/location;
- If you wish to participate in the meeting, ask to be placed on the agenda or ask if you can perform a meeting role (or you can just show up).
At the meeting:
- Observe
- Participate
- Take notes – just as you would in your own club.
