Monthly Business Forum Meetings are to utilize C12's prescribed monthly agenda, curriculum, mixedmedia format, and facilitation notes and forms which are supplied at no additional cost either in hard copy
or downloadable format from a web platform supplied by C12. You may supplement these materials with others of your own choosing and utilize helpful resources to enrich your members' overall C12 experience (e.g., lunchtime videos or handouts) in a manner which does not modify the intended standard C12 meeting flow and process. If the C12 Business Forum meeting agenda should change, C12 home office will let you know in written communication prior to the delivery of the following month's material.
All meetings are to be facilitated in compliance with the Field Operations Manual and the Brand Standards Guide provided during initial and subsequent training.
