Hi all,
I have a question about National officers. I just want to double-check before anything is done...
I am the founder of a
new sorority for nontraditional women students, and graduates. We need one more national officer, a Treasurer (one of four positions our Constitution requires never to go unfilled, but there are other board positions to be filled as candidates become available). Because the sorority's bank account will be set up to require two signatures on any checks written, I want the Treasurer to live in the same area. We are based and headquartered in the Upstate region of South Carolina.
My dilemma and question is this. Most of the women I know locally (I have friends and acquaintances in several states) who are nontraditional are related to me. One relative actually is in bank/financial management, and I think she would make a great Treasurer. However, I am reluctant to ask her to take the position because I
already have a relative on the national board. I'm uncomfortable about having too many relatives being national officers, because I do not want to even give the
impression that the National Grand Chapter (the board's official name) will be in a position to abuse its authority.
Am I right to be concerned about how having several (well, two) family members on the national E-board (of only 4
required positions right now) will look to potential new members or am I overreacting? I really want to move forward and start putting our name out there, but I have to do things the right way from the beginning.
Thanks so much, in advance, for any advice and insight any of you can provide. It's appreciated.
