You will only need to start your unit one time in the Just Between Friends system. Therefore if any officer or chair previously started your unit in the system you will need to skip this process and go to the transitioning instructions.
How do you know? You could ask your previous president or proceed as if your unit is not currently in the system. Once your reach the page where you input your National ID number, the system will inform you if your unit is already in the system. If it tells you that your unit is already input we suggest that you use the contact us (customer support) so we may assist you in obtaining admin and officer permissions within the system.
