For the induction ceremony, a separate room, preferably with a platform, is desired. It must be of sufficient size to accommodate seating for all inductees, members, and guests in attendance. Inductees should be seated together in the first rows.

The Chaîne banner should be suspended behind a platform or area where the inductee will receive his or her decoration and should be positioned so that it serves as a background for the photograph and as a prop for the inducting officer’s explanation of the Society’s Coat of Arms.

A draped table of adequate size to arrange all ribbons /decorations should be placed to the left side of the platform. The decorations should be arranged in the same order as the listings in the Livre d’Or pages to prevent confusion.

A similar table should be placed on the opposite side of the platform, on which the Livre d’Or registry pages and a pen rest, and where the inductee affixes his/her signature after being formally inducted.
