Certified
Club Builders
Certified Club Builders are trained Optimist volunteers who are available
to work in target communities not currently served by Optimist Clubs.
Through direct marketing techniques, these volunteers work in connection
with District leadership to determine targeted sites and assist in training
volunteer key builders. They are also actively involved in the New Club
process.
A Certified Club Builder is an Optimist who has a successful track record
in forming New Clubs. They possess an extensive knowledge of Optimist
International’s history, policies, programs and culture. They must
be available to travel and spend consecutive days working in the field.
In addition to leading New Club efforts within a community, Certified
Club Builders must be able to train and instruct other key builders about
how to successfully build New Clubs.
Training
Certified Club Builders receive extensive training in every aspect of
the New Club process. CCBs are taught a proven sales model that enables
them to prospect and recruit potential members. They study successful
Club models and the New Club follow-up program. Each CCB develops a training
style that enables them to effectively communicate with other volunteer
builders at the Club and District levels. They learn skills that will
help them develop, organize and manage a team successfully. In addition,
CCBs receive training for building JOOI Clubs. During the training process,
CCBs have the opportunity to practice and refine their newly learned skills
by leading New Club efforts currently in progress at the selected training
site.
Procedures
When a Certified Club Builder travels within his or her own
District,
the cost associated with this program is incurred by the Optimist International
New Club Building Department. For travel outside of the District, the
New Club Building Department covers the cost to send the CCB out to a
specific location and any meals incurred. The District is responsible for
covering lodging and ground transportation.
A request for the services of the Certified Club Builder is made through
the
New Club Building Department at the International Office. The individual making
the request will then work in conjunction with the Optimist International
staff to schedule the Certified Club Builder to work within the particular
District.
To request a Certified Club Builder, fill out the CCB Request Form below
and return to the New Club Building Department at the International Office.
