This Parade will cover Chapter Management, Member Development and Membership Activities as well as participation in state, national and international programs and meetings, in each chapter from January 1 to December 31, 2010. Overall rankings will be tabulated by figuring points earned in each of the four (4) areas covered, then combining the rankings for an overall score. Chapters are encouraged to submit a quarterly Parade submission book electronically documenting projects and participation. All points will be determined by State President, State Vice-Presidents, Parade of Chapters (POC) Director, and/or other State Officers.
Rule 1: Chapters will be required to confirm receipt of submissions and verifications from appropriate State Officers, Directors, and Chairmen to the POC Director and that those same submissions have been recorded without dispute.
