FAQs
Do I need to send service agreements with my OTC Report Form? It depends. You need to submit the service agreements with your RFL. If you feel you will lose the actual agreements, send a scanned copy with your report form so you know you will have them when you need them. Am I always a guest at my home club’s meeting? No. You are only a guest when you are doing an official visit.
