Executive Committee
Chairman: Patrick Atkins, CPP

The Executive Committee consists of the elected Officers (i.e. Chairperson, Vice Chairperson, Secretary, Treasurer.) It conducts Chapter Business between Chapter meetings and works as a team in consensus. This committee meets with the Regional Vice President at least once per year to overview and discuss the Chapter’s health, activity, and policy compliance. In addition it designs strategic planning for the Chapter and monitors progress towards its goals through the Chapter’s Strategic Plan. As part of the annual meeting with the Regional Vice President the Executive Committee also reviews the Chapter’s financial condition through an audit and engages in discussions detailing opportunities which will strengthen Chapter operations and activities.
The Executive Committee should strive to keep the membership informed of all activities. It also recommends its findings to the membership at monthly Chapter meetings. In all of its activities it maintains a proactive position in assuring membership input.

Program Committee

The Program Committee designs the meaningful and timely array of programs for the Chapter each year. Membership input and interest as well as current and future topics of interest are essential. The committee schedules speakers and provides for all resources and aspects of the facilitation of programs.
