‘Who are you training to replace you?’
Build confidence in younger members
Push them to their ‘learning edge’
Captains don’t run everything!

7. Getting your Students Involved
Student members should feel like they are valued
Comfortable contributing to conversations and team projects
Opinions aren’t immediately dismissed by senior member or mentors
Questions are welcome, they know who to go to for clarification and advice
Create constructive busy work
