Center meetings play a decisive role in the growth and development of the center and in instilling discipline among members. Center meetings are conducted weekly or monthly depending on the performance of the center. It provides opportunity for members to discuss plans, map out activities, update each other on project status, thresh out problems, and develop leadership, management and organization skills. Meeting time is kept to a minimum hour of 30 minutes and a maximum of one hour, to allow clients more time for their personal and business concerns and to give Account Officers more time for membership expansion. Center meetings also provide the mechanism to track members’ performance. The repayment rate is presented before the meeting starts, so that the center repayment performance is monitored.
