New Member Orientation

Welcome to New Member Orientation Made Easy

New members are an incredible asset and helping them navigate the nuances of your club is essential to making them feel like a part of something wonderful. These documents are the stepping stone to helping out your new members. All of these documents are formatted and ready to go; you just need to fill in your club’s information. Feel free to change these documents to meet your club’s needs or just use the documents that apply to your club. Good Luck with creating your club’s packet for new members.

Mary Saale and Teri Jacob presented this topic at the 2021 MO-ARK Convention. These are the files from that program.
