Leadership Kit

CMAA REGIONAL CHAPTERS
LEADERSHIP INFORMATION KIT

 The purpose of the Chapter's Leadership Information Kit is to provide chapter leadership with a basic understanding on how to govern its chapter in a fashion consistent with the governance policies established by CMAA National.  This information is not intended to dictate to the chapter on how to conduct its business as long as it's handled consistently with the Affiliation Agreement, Chapter Bylaws, and all policies of CMAA National.  The "kit" is intended to be a "living" document that each chapter maintains and updates as needed on an annual basis; specific chapter information should be included in order to tailor the kit to the specific chapter.

The goal of the kit is to provide:
1)  Information critical to each chapter
2)  Education for new chapter leaders and board members
3)  Fostering continuity as leadership transitions within the chapter

It is the responsibility of each chapter president to make sure the chapter is being effectively managed and led and that the chapter policies and governance are not in conflict with CMAA National’s activities, policies, and positions.  The chapter president is responsible for coordinating with CMAA National.
