VOLUNTEER SUPPORT

Women's National Steering Committee Networking Event - July 2020 All volunteers and staff are invited to the 3rd monthly networking meeting brought to you by the Women's National Steering Committee. This month's meeting will be held on Friday, 7/24 at Noon CT. The topic will be a recurring one - "Best Practices on Recruiting and Retaining Women Volunteers." Registration is necessary so click on this link to register. See you there!

Complete Your Annual Code of Ethics As you are aware, volunteers must review and attest to the SCORE Code of Ethics annually. All volunteers must complete the Annual Code of Ethics module in SCORE Training by September 30, 2020. The Updated FY21 Annual Code of Ethics module is available to be completed in the SCORE Training site as of July 1st, 2020.

There have been a few updates made to the Code of Ethics module this year. There is no longer a separate 009 Annual Code of Ethics. New volunteers will complete 004 Code of Ethics as part of their onboarding process. This is the same module that must be completed by all volunteers each year, now titled FY21 Annual Code of Ethics.  Minor updates to the module have been made to reflect SCORE system changes such as references to the Support Center. The key tenets of the SCORE Code of Ethics remain the same.  Please make sure to log in to SCORE Training and complete your Annual Code of Ethics, no later than September 30th. It should take about 20 minutes to complete. Thank you!

FY21 Field Leadership Calls Due to the upcoming VLC there will not be a Field Leadership Call held in August. Monthly calls will resume on Monday, September 14, at 12:00-1:30pm ET. You can now register for all FY21 calls (starting with September) at the following link. Registration Link As a reminder, the Leadership Call occurs every month on the second Monday from Noon to 1:30 PM ET; recording of the call will be available afterwards.

CHAPTER OPERATIONS

SCORE Re-opening Checklist We know SCORE chapters across the country are all in different stages of operations at this time. As a reminder, please follow the local state guidelines when it comes to re-starting face to face meetings. For SCORE, in order to operate in any official SCORE capacity – mentoring, workshops, or chapter meetings – SCORE volunteers must also be ready to follow the CDC’s guidelines for reopening. Please review the full policy and checklist to help guide you in making your reopening decision.

Engage Status Update On Monday, July 20th, an Engage Update was sent out to Volunteer Leaders and Engage Contacts (as well as the Board and SCORE Staff). This update provided information about the Engage Roll-out Revised Schedule and process updates for Engage Enhancement/Bug Submission. You can view the full update here.

Notice: Change in Telephone Forwarding Number In April SCORE HQ provided a temporary call number that chapters could use as they shifted to remote operations. This number was 888-215-3465. Please note ** this number has now changed.** If you are unable to access your SCORE office phone lines to forward, please change your chapter phone number in CORE to the national phone number and we will filter calls for you. The phone number to change to would be: 800-634-0245.
