Each group should designate one volunteer to read the case study and one to record the discussion.
Each group will have five minutes to complete its discussion.
As a group, identify the challenges the chapter officer is facing. As her adviser, how will you guide her in making the correct decision?
Once the five minutes have passed, instruct the five groups to come back together.
Ask one person from each group to read the group’s case study and present its solutions
