4.02 Governing Body

The local chapter is governed by the president, vice president, secretary(ies), treasurer, historian, reporter, and parliamentarian with the guidance of the adviser. Each local chapter also has bylaws to use as a guide. Sample local chapter bylaws are found in Appendix M.

Some chapters have learned they function more effectively with an Executive Committee which meets periodically to make plans for chapter meetings and activities. The local Executive Committee can be composed of the officers and chairpersons of standing committees or the officers and a member representing each business, computer, and information technology curriculum, such as accounting, data processing, secretarial and general office. Refer to the National Chapter Management Handbook for the organizational structure of a chapter.
