Thanks, Kevin. Since we're a brand new organization, the initial national board is pretty much made up of ladies I've recruited to be founding members of Chi Sigma Kappa, and asked to serve as an officer. Our Constitution does call for elections at our convention (although for the first couple of years, it'll probably be more like a meeting, LOL). However, we have to first grow big enough to even have the kind of election you're talking about. That's a while off.
However, for when we DO grow large enough, what you suggested is really good and I will definitely keep it in mind. Thanks for your input!

That elected body, in turn oversees the employment of the folks responsible for the day to day operations of the fraternity (the executive director, CFO, etc.)
My advice would be to set up some sort of democratic process whereby you have a group popularly elected and accountable to the national organization. That smaller elected body, in turn, would make decisions on who to hire to take care of day to day operations.
