An interesting development from Convention is the restructuring of Chapter Council. The position of "Chapter Excellence" is now getting a boost up to a Council position. The new post will be called VP - Operations. The position of VP - New Member Education will now be called VP - Member Education. Finally, the position of Assistant Treasurer will no longer be a Council position. It will now be an appointed position.
I think elevating the Chapter Excellence position is a great idea! Any thoughts on this from the younger crowd?

Coming from a chapter that had issues with it's Treasurers until I started as Asst. Treasurer... it sorta bothers me a bit. More because dealing with Treasury is a lot to learn, and is a lot of responsibility. I did like how Asst. Treasurer was on council.
Also, Asst. Treasurer and Panhel were jobs that newly initiated sisters usually start on council as, and moved up over the years. Chapter Excellence was always one of the older sisters, because they had more familiarity with the programs and requirements and such.
I wonder what else VP Operations will cover.
VP-Member Education... I feel sorta like this is adding a lot of responsibility onto an already very hectic position. Especially for chapters who initiate more than one new member class a year. It might be fine for bigger southern chapters where spring rush is unheard of- because what else did VP NMEd do the rest of the year? But in schools with 2 or 3 new member classes a year, that's a killer. Having a seperate ME chair always worked well for us.
So tell me about these new council members? The 2 names sound pretty familiar, but I can't recall much about them.
While Palm Springs is probably beautiful, I wish it was somewhere a little more central.
