Tips
- Ask Team Members to check in at the beginning.
- How are things going for them as a NET?
- Have they taken a training lately? How'd it go? Can they share their knowledge at a future meeting?
- Have they deployed lately? How'd it go?
- Think about activities that will help volunteers pursue trainings that will help them qualify for a Volunteer Support Functions Introduction and Directory.
