Officer FAQ

What's the deal with the Chapter Project Reports?
You need to write a chapter report on any event (whether or not it was sponsored by TBP) you lead. Go to the chapter reporting website, https://www.tbp.org/projreport/home.cfm, and log in using your credentials. Here, you can create and edit project reports. Make sure to take attendance and pictures at your event, as there will be places to upload both of these within the project report. For any questions, please refer to the following tutorial: https://youtu.be/eFKBCTYMaCw.

How soon do I need to submit a Project Report?
Submit a project report within a week of completing your event.
