Step 5: Training

Once the Chapter Leadership Agreement is signed, you are a Chapter Leadership Candidate! You will be assigned a temporary ICAN email and invited into Chapter Leadership Training. This training consists of seven modules designed to equip you to lead a robust chapter in your community.

The seven modules are:

• Get to Know ICAN
• Running a Chapter
• Holding Meetings
• Education
• Support
• Advocacy
• Financial Matters

Chapter Leaders are required to do all seven modules. Chapter Secretaries are required to do the first two modules. Chapter Treasurers are required to do the first and the last module. You have three months to complete the training (with an option to extend to six months, should circumstances require), though many finish within a few weeks. The modules are a go-at-your-own-pace format, so you can do as little or much each day as your time allows.
