the Department Office.

REPORTING
One of the most important responsibilities
of
Unit Committee Chairmen
is to report the activities and work
on their programs.
This comprises all of the work
done by the more than 53,000 members in our Department.
The Unit Chairmen report to the
County Chairmen who in turn
report to the Department Chairmen.
The Department's report to National
is the factor that makes the outstanding reports at the National
Convention.
Chairmen are encouraged to
enter all contests. |
