Purpose
[edit | hide all | hide | edit source]Provide a structured checklist to support a smooth transition between outgoing and incoming Membership Officers.
Why a Good Handoff Matters
[edit | hide | edit source]A thoughtful handoff helps preserve continuity, reduce volunteer stress, and support a successful start for the next person in the role.
- Reduces the learning curve
- Prevents important tasks from being missed
- Preserves useful knowledge and practices
- Builds confidence for the incoming volunteer
- Supports member continuity and retention
What to Include in a Handoff
[edit | hide | edit source]Not all groups will have all of this information or do all of these items. Not all of these tasks are always done by the Membership Officer. That's okay--just note what role has that task and move on. Focus on what is currently available; additions or changes can be made later. This section is for "getting up to speed" with what is currently being done.
