Youth Leadership

Chapter Networks
Continuing the initiative of the 2019-2020 State Executive Council, the 2020-2021 State Executive Council is excited to communicate and engage with Chapter Officers through the use of Chapter Networks. Chapter Officers will be assigned by the state office to one of four Chapter Networks based on their position. Chapter Officers will then be added to a GroupMe to connect with other officers around the state in an effort to share ideas and initiatives while growing their personal networks within the organization. The Chapter Networks will be monitored and facilitated by the State Executive Council and State Staff. It is imperative that advisers provide the phone numbers for their officers. If you are not allowed to collect this information, please ask members to update their contact information in the membership portal.

Chapter Officer Update - Starting in 2 Weeks
The 2020-2021 State Executive Council is excited to offer the Chapter Officer Update - a monthly newsletter developed by the State Executive Council to keep chapter officers up-to-date on the happenings of the organization while sharing ideas to engage and run chapters. For this initiative to be successful, it is important that advisers provide the personal email addresses for their officers. School emails typically do not accept outside emails. If you are not allowed to collect personal emails from students, please ask them to update their contact information in the membership portal.
