When members know what the club is aiming for, they are empowered to actively contribute. Getting members to understand DCP takes time and repetition. While it isn’t the main focus of a club, it is an indication of the health of a club, and when members understand where their educational awards, new members, club officer training, and administrative tasks fit into the club as a whole, they are more driven to complete levels, and support the club officer team.

Some of the ways a club can help members understand the DCP are:

• Have the current DCP achievements on the back of the agenda (Agenda example here)

• Schedule an educational session

• Ensure club officers attend training

• Discuss the DCP at each club officer meeting
