*Scale is used to indicate the preferred level of engagement of an advisor in day-to-day club activities, meetings and communications. One would refer to the base level of activity required of an advisor, such as helping with the re-registration process and offering guidance when asked. Five would refer to consistent engagement, such as presence in meetings, activities, and actively participating in the organization's decision processes. Please use this to determine if an advisor would suit the needs of your club.
