2023 Chapter Special Projects Fund Proposal

The Chapter Special Project Fund was established by the Board of Directors to assist Chapters that want to undertake worthwhile projects but lack sufficient funds. It also exists as an emergency or loan fund for Chapters that run into financial difficulties. The Fund is administered by the Chapter Assembly Steering Committee. The Chapter Assembly Director regularly reports to the Board of Directors and the Chapter Assembly on the use of the Fund.
