Chapter Officers	Chapter officers and committee chairs should keep in mind that there is no better way to assure the success of a chapter than to have each member feel a definite sense of responsibility. To accomplish this, participation is important and every person should be a member of at least one committee.

Chapter Committees	Chapter committees consist of those appointed by the President-Elect or Board of Governors. Committee chairs should be appointed by the President-Elect as soon as practicable. These committees should normally consist of a chair, vice- chair and two or more other members. The President and Board of Governors should consider that the longer-term strength and growth of the chapter will be enhanced by maintaining the continuity in the leadership of each committee. This is best done by including a variety of age and experience levels in the membership of each committee. Committee work can help train and motivate all members and familiarize new members with the rewards and benefits of ASHRAE. Participation in committees provides leadership opportunities for our members. Chairs of chapter committees who have workshops at CRCs, are expected to attend these workshops. Committee chairs should report to the Board of Governors in person when requested or through the assigned Board member when requested. At the conclusion of chapter year, each committee chair should submit a written report to the Board of Governors, including a summary of the committee's activities for the year and suggestions for the incoming committee. It is desirable to have at least one member of the preceding year's committee on the new committee to maintain continuity, and that committees be supervised by at least one officer or member of the Board of Governors. It is also recommended that the chair hold the office for two years.
