Completing Projects on Base Camp — Do you have members completing their first projects on Base Camp? Help them with this refresher: To mark a project as complete, members must have completed all parts of the project ending with “Assess Your Skills – After.” They should then answer all questions, clicking “Next” to move through them. When all the questions have been answered, they should click "Submit.” Once they have reviewed the feedback window that shows their responses and have completed all other associated assignments and tasks, the project will automatically update as completed. For additional help, view this video tutorial or email educationprogram@toastmasters.org.

Help Members Select a Path — When viewing your club’s roster in Club Central, look for members who do not have “Pathways enabled” below their name.

For additional help, they can email educationprogram@toastmasters.org.
