National Invoicing Deadline
We have reviewed membership data and many chapters have not updated their member statuses including moving their graduating classes and updating Pending Provisionals. For those chapters that have not yet done so, we ask that the status updates be completed by July 15th. If statuses are not correct in Digital Cheetah, this will impact your chapter's national invoicing. For more information, visit the website page here.
