Below is a screenshot of the NIRM and details on each section. The screenshot below represents the first time the NIRM is accessed a the process has not been started.
The left hand side of the screen is used to log Step One reporting requirements (detailed below) while the right side indicates a lodge's progress toward completion of the rollout.
Step One - See One Reporting
As indicated above, a lodge must list the name, role (ceremonialist, luminary, or support staff / adviser), and the induction experience they attended. You must log a minimum of
- 5 Ceremonialists
- 3 Luminaries
- 2 Support Staff / Relevant Advisers
However, you should log all members of your core team who will facilitate the lodge or section induction experience.
Below is an overview of the Step One Status Options:
- 1 - Not Started: No members added to the grid.
- 2 - Incomplete: At least one member has been added, but the above minimums have been met.
- 3 - Complete: All of the required team roles (described above) have been met by adding members to the grid.
Adding a New Member
Follow the steps below to add a new member:
- Click the Add Member button in the upper right-hand corner of the table.
- In the Name box, search for the lodge member. This list pulls from your list of active members. You will not be able to add anyone not listed as a member of your lodge in OALM.
- Select the Role they will play at your lodge induction experience event (ceremonialist, luminary, or adviser / support staff).
- Select the Induction Experience they attended. Note: only past events will appear in the drop down box.
- Click the Save icon at the end of the row.
Upon completion of Step One, the status indicator will update and should resemble the screen below.
Step Two - Do One Reporting
To complete Step Two, the lodge must schedule and execute an induction experience. Most lodges will conduct this for their lodges through an LIE while select lodges will complete this step as the section's Exemplar lodge.
Note: while reporting ONE event is required to complete the phase of the process, all lodges should report ANY event where they offer the new induction to existing members until NOAC 2027. Doing so ensures accurate data reporting for members who have experienced the new induction.
All lodges will need to log the induction experience where they offer the new induction to existing members of the OA. Exemplar lodges should enter this event as well to ensure they progress through the tracking process.
Below is an overview of the status options for Step Two:
- 1 - Not Started: An event offering the induction for existing members has not been scheduled.
- 2 - Future Event: An event offering the induction for existing members is scheduled for a future date.
- 3 -
- 4 - Complete: The lodge's peer coach has affirmed that the lodge has completed the new induction and is ready to advance to Step 3 - Offer One.
