Does your organization have training materials for advisors?

To the first- yes, newly elected officers attend a weekend retreat with the current e-board right after elections, and then there are normally 2 meetings at the end of the previous school year where they co-lead. The first meeting the outgoing e-board runs it with the new e-board shadowing, and the 2nd is reversed.
To the second point- I would be highly surprised if Jane was asked to advise as well this year. It's an unspoken rule that you wait at least a year, if not two after graduation before you advise. The reason being is that it gives you time to distance yourself emotionally from the chapter, you won't have as many close friends who are active when you return, and you can be an objective advisor. But yes, there are advisor training materials, and all advisors attend a workshop at the state level after being sworn in.
