OTHER COMMITTEES – Unit Presidents may appoint other Committees that are helpful in the operation of the Unit programs, such as Auditing Committee, Kitchen Committee, Sgt. at Arms, Liaison Officer with the Post.
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 50,000 members in our Department. The Unit Chairmen report to the County Chairmen who in turn report to the Department Chairmen.
The Departments report to National to create outstanding reports for the National Convention. Chairmen are encouraged to enter all contests.
