I disagree (unless that is equal to the number of women in your entire organization.) Many of those would be on our LC. It sounds like you have a good breakdown of responsibility. We have a VP of education that covers programming and a VP of Standards that handles risk management. VP of Chapter Development handles sisterhood but our Ritual chair is now a cabinet level position inder the VPCD. I think you could argue that Ritual should remain on exec. Our PHA delegate has always been a member of Exec as well as our Philanthropy Chair. Historian, apparel chair, intramural and fundraising chair (whatever that's for) would all be cabinet level positions. Communication has more to do with expectations and organization. If a particular officer is not doing her job, address that. You don't have to get rid of the office and put the work on other officers. Have officers CC: the president when emailing each other so that she can monitor what is going on in the chapter. If an officer isn't pulling her weight, the president can address this more readily. At your Exec meetings, make sure each officer gives a report so that they communicate the progress they are making towards the goals you all have made. The number of officers should not effect that.
If you are a small group, you should really think about doubling up on officers. The reason is that too many leaders and not enough followers in a group is not a good thing. We have large and small chapter formats for officers. For example:
President
Admin VP/Secretary
Recruitment
NM educator/sisterhood/Ritual
Academics/Risk/Programming
Philanthropy/Fundraising
PHA/PR
Treasurer
Intramural and historian should be cabinet level positions.
