Which group is required to participate in programming?

Which group is required to participate in programming?

• A. All members
• B. Only leaders
• C. All alumni
• D. Only new members

Answer: (A)

Participation in programming is expected of every member. When the whole membership is involved, programs reflect the group as a whole, responsibilities are shared, and members continually build leadership and collaboration skills. Limiting participation to leaders would leave out the broad range of perspectives and dilute engagement; alumni aren’t active members and wouldn’t be part of ongoing programs; and restricting it to new members would ignore the experience and continuity that current members contribute. Keeping participation open to all members ensures unity, accountability, and a lasting impact of the organization’s initiatives.
