Slide 13
How do State Organizations and Chapters Transition from Program
of Work Committees to Educational Excellence? 13
Slide 14
Remember! State organizations and chapters are not required to
have the same named committees as has the international level. They
are required to fulfill the work of those committees that apply to
state organization and chapter levels. Key Idea: 14
Slide 15
Some Options: Keep same names/organization--incorporate new
duties as necessary. Give current POW committees new names Have one
Educational Excellence Committee with more members who work
together in smaller groups to achieve the responsibilities and
report back to the whole. Devise a totally unique plan that works
for your particular state organization or chapter. 15
Slide 16
Remember, so long as the work of the Educational Excellence
Committee is fulfilled, state organizations and chapters have great
flexibility as to how the work is fulfilled. Key Idea: 16
