New Member Walkthrough

Welcome to The Club Schedule. This is the short version of what you need to know to use the platform as a member of your club.

Plan on about 10 minutes total. You can stop after any step and come back later — your account stays put.

Before You Begin

• You've accepted your invitation and you can sign in. (If you can't yet, see Joining from an Invitation.)

The 4 Steps

1. Set up your profile — name, contact info, notification preferences. ~3 min.
2. Mark absences when you can't attend — single dates and recurring patterns. ~2 min.
3. Confirm or decline the roles you're assigned — and what happens when you decline. ~2 min.
4. View the upcoming schedule — schedule view, archives, PDFs. ~2 min.

What's Next

That's the basics. For everything else — Pathways tracking, role history, volunteering for speaker slots, sending feedback to your officers — see the For Members section of the Help Center.
