DCP - Q&A

Q — What will happen if I claim points and do not document/substantiate them? A — The District can not allow the points

Q — How should I organize my DCP Documents? A — Submit the completed 18-page DCP separate from the documenting/substantiating (i.e backup) material D o not meld the 18-page DC P i n wit h the backup material

Q — How should 1 reference the backup material in the DCP? A — Each entry i n the 18 page DC P should reference the section and page number i n the backup material where the documentation/substantiation for that item is found

Q — How do I page number the backup material? A — The backup material for each section of the DC P should be page numbered wit h the section number followed by consecutive arabic numerals starting wit h "1. " Eg., you claim 15 points for "Annual Club Budget formerly approved by club" (Item III- A under Financial) Let's say the club minutes for July 10, 1976, has that item shown as being approved wit h a copy of the Budget Attached. Let's further say that the minutes for that meeting is filed i n the Secretary's DC P Backup Section I I as page 11-32 Then the Treasurer simply notes in his item III-A : "REF 11-32."

Q — When will the 1976 DCP be collected by the District? A — A t any time between February 1 and April 1, 1977, the DCP wil l be collected by the District Due to the fact that there is simply no time for the District's DC P committee to evaluate DCP's submitted at the Spring Convention, they wil l not be accepted then
