Since it's inception in 2005, the MOCHIP team have lead an extremely successful program. Below are just some hightlights from Nicks play book that may help you in your Program Managment.

Forms we use: 

• Event Planner – A comprehensive checklist to guide Lodges through preparations months prior to an event. Any and all suggestions are welcome.
• Event Follow-up – Similar to the Event Planner, this form is sent to lodges approximately one month prior to their event to learn of their preparedness and/or light a fire under them.

Promotion

• A new MOCHIP coloring book is in the works, written and designed by Lori Cichielo. The focus is the MOCHIP process, how each station works, and important safety tips.

Team

• User ID’s – Individual user ID’s and passwords have been given to all team members who should have access to the Team Page on the Web site. In the future, users will have greater resources for both personal and professional MOCHIP related use. Please feel free to share thoughts and suggestions regarding items /resources you’d like considered. General ideas include Blogs and Web pages for coordinators to manage their teams. If there is anyone who has been innocently overlooked, please let us know.
