Chapter Handbook Revision
The Chapter Handbook revision was completed and approved by the committee at the end of 2011 and is posted to the wiki: here. Initiatives are currently underway to translate the handbook to Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, and Russian. If you are interested in helping with any of these or another language, please Contact Us.
Everyone is busy. To make it possible for busy people to contribute, the Global Chapter Committee subdivides its goals into micro-tasks easily digestible in an hour or two by volunteers.
