Which task is included in the active member checklist?

• A. Organize one pillar event open to the public.
• B. Attend monthly staff planning meetings.
• C. Volunteer for the annual fundraising drive.
• D. Complete a quarterly reflection essay.

Answer: (A)

Active members are expected to take initiative and drive visible, external-facing activities that demonstrate leadership and reach within the community. Organizing one pillar event open to the public embodies that by requiring you to plan, coordinate resources and people, promote the event, and engage the community from start to finish. It shows you can take a project from idea to execution and create a tangible impact.

The other tasks are still valuable but don’t showcase that same level of public leadership: attending monthly staff planning meetings is regular participation; volunteering for the annual fundraising drive is a good contribution but can be a routine assignment rather than a leadership-led initiative; and completing a quarterly reflection essay focuses on personal development rather than delivering a public-facing activity.
