Things to know
Chapter managers can add officers at any time through the fiscal year. If you make a mistake, you can cancel a position.
If your chapter has multiple officers in the same role and only wants one officer to display on YPO Connect, you can check the box on the Hide from Connect Officer Directory field. This allows officers to be entered, attend training, but simplifies your chapter's officer directory on YPO Connect.
Best Practices
Ensure that elect core officers are correctly entered before 1 November every year into the Chapter Management Hub. This will ensure that records trigger the correct Officer Education enrollments and reflect in Chapter Health scores and in the Chapter Commitments.
Any core elect positions that are added after 1 November will not improve the officer elect identification score. Additionally, if chapters change a core role for any reason it will negatively impact the chapters metric score.
Core officers include:
YPO and Integrated chapters: chapter chair, chapter learning officer, chapter assistant learning officer, chapter forum officer, and chapter membership officer.
YPO Gold chapters: chapter chair, chapter learning officer, chapter assistant learning officer, chapter forum officer, and chapter member engagement officer.
