What responsibilities does the chaperone have?
Chaperones are responsible for the safe travel of their scholar/alumni to and from the Summit, and must be accessible by the Summit staff in the event of an emergency. NCCEP is only responsible for the scholar/alumni from the opening session of the Summit until the closing conference plenary. At that time, the scholars/alumni will again become the responsibility of the chaperone. Chaperones are also expected to participate in an orientation session, as well as a pre-Summit conference call. These sessions are designed to answer any questions chaperones may have and to clarify their responsibilities. During the orientation session, we will invite chaperones to attend certain events during the course of the Summit. These activities are optional.
