How to submit your tasks and process

A member of the committee should complete the form, selecting the goal you want to upload evidence for - you can only do one goal at a time.
This automatically marks that goal on the tracker as pending until a member of the Activities and Representation team evaluates it.

From there, you'll be given one of the following outcomes:
✅ - Goal Complete
❌ - Goal incomplete
