The Chapter Secretary conducts a call-for-nominations electronically among the membership for two weeks beginning on the date set by the nominating committee; the nominating committee provides the Secretary with the list of nominees following the end of the two weeks; the Secretary distributes the list of nominees for an electronic vote by the membership; candidates receiving a majority of the votes cast are deemed elected.

In lieu of an annual meeting, the President will issue a report to the membership no later than September 15 each year. The report will address, at minimum, the financial condition of the Chapter and may include other information the President wishes to share, including goals, re-cap of the previous year’s highlights and achievements, etc.

The Board of Directors establishes annual dues for membership and communicates that information to the membership.
