Accountability and Tips to Keep Members Engaged

1. Communicate with each other frequently - this ensures that CVT work stays 'on the radar'.
   1. it's much harder to just forget about something if the person you're working with asks you about it often.
2. Ask your members to track/report on what they do for the project + how many hours they put into the project.
   1. For instance, maybe there could be a weekly thread where people update the group on what they've done or what they are planning or doing
3. Ensure that projects have tangible outcomes and milestones
   1. Example: "we will submit this research paper to these groups / try to get it published in this journal etc.”
4. Keep project materials / work in one place that's easy for everyone to access
   1. Example: a shared google drive + pinning the link in the channel
