# Chapter Check-ins It is key to stay in close touch with our community — and to support each chapter individually, listening and responding to their local needs. Thus, we invite chapters twice a year for **1-on-1 check-ins** with one of our board members. The 1 hour calls listen into the future projects, perspectives and needs of our community and help us to sharpen our international initiatives. Chapter check-ins occur biannualy. Feel free to reach out to oikos International to schedule a call, or oikos board member will reach out to you!
Some things that we usually touch upon in the check-in calls: * Successes and Highlights * Challenges and Lowlights * Goals and Future Ambitions * Needs and Questions (how can oikos International or oikos community support you?)
