Schedule and conduct 2D MSP training and associated training
Publish 2D MSP training attendance list
Gather and assess “MSP Qualified” information – Brother and Chapters
Determine and publish “MSP Qualified” status – Brothers and Chapters

MSP Qualification Requirements

Brothers must:

be fully financial and in good standing with IHQ, 2D and a Second District chapter;
have MSC-verified "MSP Certification Test" good through the MSP cycle;
have MSC-verified attendance credit for a 2D MSP training session in the Omega Year of the MSP cycle;
have MSC-verified completed and submitted Form 9A-12, MSP TrainingAcknowledgment; and,
have MSC verified completed and submitted Form 9A-20, Acknowledgement and Indemnification Agreement.

Chapters must have submitted accurate and complete Form 53-B2, Chapter Roster Validation that has MSC-verified “Big 4” – i.e., Basileus, VB, KRS and KF – as “MSP Qualified”.

Key Notes

Omega Year: Defined as November 1 to October 31.
Training Format: Sessions are conducted as MIT and MVT formats, as announced and published in the MSP training registration portals.
Forms: Issued electronically to participants who attend training, subject to MSC verified attendance credit. Copy of completed forms are emailed to Brother, and Brother is responsible to forward copy to their Chapter Membership Coordinator.

MSP Training

Registration: Access the Member Login to review the MSP training sessions available and the registrations portals. Select one (1) session to avoid blocking a slot that another Brother may need to register. If you are uncertain as to the date you can attend, then DO NOT try to select one or more that creates confusion for processing. Selecting more than one session will invalidate your registrations, because they will all be cancelled. And selecting a session that results in a “No-show” – i.e., failure to issue timely cancellation notice – will adversely impact your ability to register for a subsequent session.
Cancellation: Submitted MSP training cancelation requests not-later-than ten (10) days prior to the session to avoid a No-show determination and to allow sufficient time to afford another Brother to perhaps take the slot. For example, a session schedule for November 11 date must be cancelled by 11:59 p.m. November 1 by email sent to MSC via membershipselection@opp2d.org with Brothers full name, cancellation request stated, and the MSP training session date.

Submission Deadlines

Form 53-B2 (the “B2”): Submit within two (2) weeks after the bulk of the chapter Brothers have attended MSP training, and submit an amended B2 just once thereafter, unless and until otherwise coordinated with MSC to add additional Brothers.
Responsibility: Chapter Membership Coordinators, working with Chapter MSPLeadership, must ensure their B2 submission is accurate, complete and timely.
