Interviews

• The purpose of these one-on-one interviews is to
  ensure that each new member gets to know each
  active member, and vice versa. Interviews should
  be conversations that allow you to learn about
  the people you talk to. If the point was for you
  to get a list of facts about each active member,
  we would just give you a list of profiles to
  read. You can also come away from these
  interviews with an idea of the variety of ways
  members can participate in the chapter. Take
  some time, have fun with this, and make some new
  friends!
