Rochambeau Chapter - Organization

According to the NSDAR guidelines and chapter statutes, the Rochambeau Chapter elects a Board of officers every three years.

Under the leadership of the Chapter Regent, or the 1st Vice Regent, in her absence, Board officers are responsible for the general development of chapter activities and special events; the organization of the quarterly chapter meetings, the annual dinner or luncheon, and the annual reception for new members; communication with the chapter members and associate members, including the publication of a bi-lingual newsletter; and the day-to-day chapter administration, including membership, treasury and accounting, and correspondence, in accordance with NSDAR reporting requirements.

The chapter general assembly is held in the first quarter of each year; at this time, the Chapter Regent, the Registrar, and the Treasurer make annual reports.
