BSF Support

The Online Area Personnel (OAP) will work with BSF HQ to identify AOT candidates before interviewing a new candidate for the AOT role. 

OAP and OT work together to approve the AOT candidate as an OGL first. 

1. OAP discusses AOT candidates with OT.

2. OAP creates an Open Position in Podio and adds up to 3 potential candidates.

3. OAP works with OT to complete the AP112 candidate form.

4. OAP completes and submits a Vetting form for each AOT candidate.

5. The RD reviews the submitted Vetting forms and selects the candidate to approach about serving as an AOT.

6. The OAP conducts the interview using the T200T-Class Staff Interview form. 

7. The OAP completes the Recommendation Form for the candidate in Podio to capture the results of the interview.

8. If the OAP confirms the recommendation, the AOT is automatically sent an Application to complete in Podio.  NOTE: If the OAP does not confirm the recommendation, an application is not sent, and the RD is notified and prompted to select a different candidate.

9. The AOT candidate completes their application, and references are contacted.

10. The candidate's completed application and reference questionnaires are reviewed by an Application Reviewer and Regional Director. Clarifications are sent to the candidate if necessary.

11. The AOT's application is approved by the RD. Communication is sent to the approved AOT with next steps for accessing training. The OAP is notified of approval with directions to update the OGL's role to AOT when their OGL replacement is updated.

Remember—BSF Online leaders can only hold one leadership role at a time. 

If AOT is an OGL with a group, make sure to replace them with another OGL before changing their role to AOT. 

OAP converts the AOT candidate from an OGL to an AOT.

If the AOT is leading their current OLM  

1. OAP changes their role to AOT.

2. AOT appears for that OLM. 

If the AOT will be leading a different OLM 

1. OAP changes their role to AOT. 

2. The current OT removes them from the OLM using the Leaders Meeting Settings page. 

   1. a.  Click the red x next to their name. 

   2. b.  Click Save Changes. 

3. The new OT adds them to the OLM as the AOT using the Leaders Meeting Settings page. 

   1. a.  Click Add an AOT at the bottom of the page. 

   2. b. Use the drop-down menu to select AOT. 

   3. c.  Click Save Changes.
