Once members and club officers understand the DCP, you can start planning it well in advance. Ways to plan and ensure goals are met:

• Have members know what level/s they will achieve within the year, and ensure they have the opportunity (i.e. speech spot) to do so

• Support members to speak outside of the club to increase their speeches - test speakers for other clubs, work speeches can be used as Pathways speeches, etc

• VPPR and VPM have plans in place to gain and retain members (see other projects)

• Club Officers are encouraged to attend training, and if they are unable to make it to their home division, other division’s events are shared

• Club Officers are encouraged to complete administrative tasks such as on-time submission of dues and club officer lists
