Reporting
Forms
- "Fillable" version of the Change of Office form (Thank you HL Alex Ravenshaw!).
Change of Office/New Officer Form (fillable .pdf) - Change of Office/New Officer Form (.pdf)
These [new] forms apply to chroniclers and webministers alike. We MUST use them by January 1, 2011, but you are welcome to start using them immediately. Actually, I would strongly encourage you to begin using them immediately, as long as they are available. Please share the forms on down the line to all of your locals.
Please destroy any blank copies you may have in your files of the previous forms.
For articles, photos, etc. that you have used up to now, you're fine. You don't have to go back to hunt down contributors to have them fill out the new forms.
In order to take advantage of the "fillable" forms, you will need to have installed Adobe's Acrobat Reader.
