Get to know the rules allowing Temps to do non-CBC work

If you have gaps in your summer schedule of work at the CBC and are wondering if you can work outside the CBC, the short answer is you can. However, there are rules governing what type of work you can do. CMG Stewards, Abby Plener and Arman Aghbali joined us at the June 25th, 2025 Temp Drop-in to demystify what kind of work you can undertake outside the CBC without interfering with your position as a Temp. Both our guests were Temps and now actively support Temps as CMG Stewards.
