Pre-Processing for CO LMT Applicants
The process is simple but not always easy, especially with applicants that don't check their email regularly. It is hoped that this process will remind applicants that checking email often (including junk/spam) is necessary to become an effective member of the CO COS Team.

![]() Pre-Processing for CO LMT Applicants and Volunteer Activists Processing BEFORE Starting Onboard Checklist for Leadership Roles Step #1: Open the applicant's LMT profile by clicking on the name and getting their application assigned to you. Use the “Contact Log” button in the “Notes and Comments” section (right column), a drop down menu will appear. Select from the drop down menu and record a brief note and press the “+ add note” button. CB will then ![]() assign the applicant to you for training. Send email instructions to the applicant using “CO-CO Initial Vetting New Volunteer” template, which can be modified if needed BEFORE sending. If the applicant receives the email and follows the instructions it makes the rest of this process MUCH easier. Monitor applicant's LMT profile following receipt of the email. VOLUNTEER ACTIVIST is the only role that requires NO ON BOARDING CHECK LIST to be completed. Putting the Volunteer Activist to work according to the responses on their survey is to be ![]() handled by their DC and/or RC. All LEADERSHIP roles require an on boarding process to be completed BEFORE assignment and a post- assignment checklist to be completed also. Step #2 : If “Followup Completed” is NOT checked green, Complete the applicant's Followup. You DO NOT need to keep the applicant's follow up open and/or in progress because the applicant will be “followed” in the LMT NOT the FUT. If applicant's follow up has been Completed (green check mark showing), skip to Step #3, ![]() otherwise, select the “open” box next to the “followup completed” and it will take you to the FUT profile where you can scroll down and make a note to yourself that you will process the applicant through the LMT. Then scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the blue “Completed” box, to finish o the followup. Step #3 : If “Is Volunteer” is NOT checked green, click on the “Open Profile” box. Select the “Edit” tab at the top right column. Scroll down to “Other Information” on the right and click on the “Is Volunteer” box ![]() on the left. The box should turn blue with a white check mark. Scroll back up and click on the blue “Update” box. Return to the applicant's LMT profile and the “Is Volunteer” should be checked in green. Step #4: If “Petition Signed” is NOT checked green. If applicant has NOT signed the petition, go no further until they do. Direct them to the conventionofstates.com home page and ask them sign. When they have clicked on the red “send to legislators” button, the ![]() “Petition Signed” should turn from x to a green check mark. Step #5: If “Account Confirmed” is NOT checked green. The applicant must use the email address that they registered with COS to create and confirm their COS account. If the “Account Confirmed” line has a grey x, then the applicant must create the account and set a password. If the “Account Confirmed” line has an hour glass (pending) icon, the COS account has been created but remains unconfirmed. The applicant should check their inbox and/or junk/spam boxes to locate ![]() the automated confirmation email from COS. When the email is located have the applicant open the email and click on the confirmation link listed there. If the email can't be found…then email the Applicant this link: https://conventionofstates.com/u sers/confirmation/new The Applicant CANNOT be logged in for this link to work. When the Applicant clicks on this link, the screen that comes up next, will prompt for the email address registered with COS. After entering the registered email address, the Applicant must select ![]() the “Resend Confirmation Email” button. This selection will prompt CB to send another confirmation email which should show up in either the inbox or the junk mail, any time from a few seconds to a few minutes, depending on several things I won't bore you with. When the Applicant finds the email, he/she should open and click on the confirmation link. CB will recognize the confirmation in a few seconds or a few hours, and turn the hour glass at the right of the “confirmed account” line to a green check mark. ![]() Step #6: If the “Volunteer Agreement is Signed” is NOT checked green. While the applicant is sitting in front of a computer/device with email open…you select the “send req” button to the left of the “Volunteer agreement is signed” line. Chit chat with the Applicant for a bit until the email from CB shows up in the inbox or junk mail. The Applicant should open the email and click on the link inside which will link to the volunteer agreement. The Applicant should read the items listed there and if agreeable, fill in the form, then ![]() select the “submit” button. Give it a few minutes to register with CB and all 5 check marks should display green. Step #7: If the Email Blast Opt-In is NOT checked green. Compose an email to the applicant containing the following link and instruct them to open the email and click on the link: https://conventionofstates.com/e mail-subscribe This online form will guide them through the process of resubscribing to receive email blasts. ![]() If the applicant has a text capable phone, applicant is strongly encouraged, but NOT REQUIRED to opt-in for text blasts and SMS messages at this time. Applicants can update these two opt-ins from their own profile pages when they login to COS website. Step #8: Applicant MUST enroll in COSU and begin at least one course there BEFORE assignment. On the left side panel of the applicant's profile, scroll to the “COS University” entry. If the applicant has enrolled in COSU the number on the right will be in blue otherwise it will be black. If ![]() the number is in blue, it will link to the COSU transcript for the applicant. Examine the transcript to ensure the applicant has started at least one course, then move to final Step #9 to assign. Step #9: If the applicant is Volunteer Activist, check their COSU transcript then make the assignment. If the applicant has signed up for any other role…move to the Onboarding Checklist. Rather than completing an ON- Boarding checklist, Volunteer Activists applicants MUST use their COS credentials to register ![]() with COSUniversity.com and start at least one of the online courses BEFORE assignment. To view applicant's COSU transcipt, scroll down on left side panel to “COS University Courses”. If the number to the right is blue click on it to monitor applicant's transcript. If the number to right is “0” in black, the applicant has failed to enroll in COSU and should be contacted to encourage them BEFORE assignment can be made. Once the applicant has begun at least one course at COSU, assign as a Volunteer Activist. Scroll to the bottom of the applicant's LMT ![]() profile and make the assignment using “Colorado” as the state and filling in the correct SD and HD numbers. Enter a quick note and select the blue “Assign” button. Putting the applicant to work according to the responses on their survey is to be handled by their DC, RC or state leader. All LEADERSHIP roles require on board training and a post- assignment process to be completed. See the On Boarding Cheat Sheet for help with the onboarding process for LEADERSHIP roles. ![]() The process is simple but not always easy, especially with applicants that don't check their email regularly. It is hoped that this process will remind applicants that checking email often (including junk/spam) is necessary to become an e ective member of the CO COS Team. Also opting out of receiving emails blasts can result in failure to receive email blasts from the CO team. Email opt out should be avoided.
