The Basics – What we require of every Local Group

• Training and Continuing Education – Local Group Leaders must be current on mandatory Safety and Consent Training and maintain mandatory Continuing Education.
• Membership – Local Group Leader must be at least a Corresponding Member of TTO
• Effective Communication of Policies
  Whether through handouts, posters, verbal explanation, website, or social media, Local Groups must effectively communicate their required polices to all Officers and Members.  Visitors to a new Group should be able to easily find and reference all policies of that Group
• Consent Policy – A boilerplate consent policy is available. Consent Policy must be reviewed by the Inspector General.
• Alcohol and Entheogen Safety Policy – resources to insure that the use of any substances is conducted safely.  If a local group makes use of enthoegens either because they are unscheduled, or because they are legal in a given locale, policies for their safe use must be included in the Safety Policy.   A boilerplate Alcohol Safety Policy is available.
• Photography and Video Policy – individual Groups may set their own policies on photography and video, however it must be on file and available to their membership.
• Signed Charter Agreement, including Indemnification – with great autonomy goes great responsibility. If the TTO is not going to police local events and second guess local leadership it is also not fair for the International body to bear the burden of poor local judgment.
• Indemnity – Local Groups agree in accepting their Charter to indemnify and hold TTO harmless from and against all losses, damages, attorney’s fees, expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with, or in the defense of, any claim or action or proceeding arising out of or incurred in connection with their activities or events.
• Use the branding guide provided by TTO and observe any rules or guidelines for how and when the TTO logo may be used
• Reporting – various activity reports are required annually or periodically.  The TTO website and mailing list will provide additional guidance. Local Masters are responsible for filing all reports through the TTO portal.
• Validation of Affiliate Members – Affiliate Members have some standing in TTO.  Local Group Leaders are responsible for validating whether or not an Affiliate Member is currently a member of their Group in good standing, and facilitate communication between that member and TTO Leadership.
• Support of Suspensions and Non-Member Bans – Individuals who are on disciplinary Suspension, or who have incurred a Non-Member Ban, particularly those put in place because of consent violations, may not attend any TTO event, even when it is co-sponsored with another organization, or organizations.  Local Masters must agree to uphold any such suspensions or bans. Holding a TTO Charter is deemed to make it impossible to sufficiently separate the business of an identically named entity which is not chartered,  If Alex Doe a member of Golden Sunrise Wicca Circle, and Temple of the Thelemic Order is under a Non-Member ban, they cannot be admitted to any event advertised under the Golden Sunrise Wicca Circle name, even if the reference to TTO affiliation is temporarily dropped. from misrepresentation or misbranding in ways which give the appearance that a Local Group has some function other than it does, or are the basis for any other misapprehension about the nature or legitimacy of a Local Group.
• Additional Responsibilities – these items are common to all TTO Charters.  Some types of Charter carry additional responsibilities
