These procedures express general understandings, expectations,
and precedents regarding the organization and administration
of Section 74. The purpose of preserving these in writing
is to help the chapters, officers, and staff members of the
Section define and perform their roles and responsibilities;
to provide for smooth transitions when sectional and chapter
officers and staff members change; to promote consistency
in sectional affairs; and to encourage the development of
at least "two-deep" leadership at the sectional
level by establishing an organizational structure that presents
numerous opportunities for individuals to become involved
in and aware of the Section's operation.
Nothing in these procedures may conflict with the National
By-Laws of Alpha Phi Omega. Article X of the National By-Laws
specifically relates to sections and, in summary, includes
the following provisions:
1. Sections exist to facilitate chapter administration, inter-chapter
conferences and leadership training and to promote formation
of new chapters and use of the services of the National Office
and its staff.
2. The National President sets sectional boundaries.
3. Each Sectional Chair is elected annually by majority vote
of the chapters present and voting at a Sectional Conference.
The National Office must be notified of the results within
15 days of each election.
4. If a Sectional Chair cannot complete a term, the Regional
Director recommends and the National President appoints a
successor. Chapters must be notified within 15 days of the
appointment.
5. The Sectional Chair appoints Sectional Representatives
to assist in chapters and to make reports on the assistance.
Each representative serves concurrently with the chair, is
assigned one or more chapters, and is appointed with the approval
of the chapter(s) assigned.
6. The Sectional Chair may appoint Sectional Staff members
to serve concurrently with the chair.
7. A section may have a Sectional Advisory Committee composed
of the Sectional Chair, one active member from each chapter,
Sectional Representatives, all National Board members living
within the section, and other members who the chairman may
select. The committee meets at least annually to help plan
and coordinate Sectional Conferences and programs.
8. A Sectional Conference is held at least annually at a time
and place set by the chapters and approved by the Regional
Director. A conference may adopt recommendations and propose
amendments for consideration by the National Convention or
the National Board.
9. Each section may have a Student Sectional Conference Chair
to assist the Sectional Chair and the Sectional Advisory Committee.
National guidelines and suggestions for sectional operations
and activities are also helpful in the organization and administration
of Section 74.
