Executive
Committee
The
President chairs the Executive Committee of the chapter, a standing committee
required by the International Constitution and Bylaws. Serving as a steering
committee for the chapter, the Executive Committee meets more often than
the general membership meetings. This committee is responsible for approving
the chapter budget and setting chapter goals to improve the chapter. In
addition, the Executive Committee keeps a sharp eye on the health of chapter,
evaluating the chapter for strengths and weaknesses. While there are often
issues that must be voted on during a general membership meeting (i.e.,
election of officers, passing of local bylaws), decisions affecting the
entire chapter, such as programming, are first approved by the Executive
Committee before they are presented to the general membership. Other decisions,
such as the chapter budget, are voted on exclusively by the Executive Committee.
Program Committee
The Vice President chairs the Program
Committee, a standing committee required by the International Constitution
and Bylaws. This committee is responsible for planning and implementing
all chapter programs and events, job-search preparation programs, service
projects, speakers, and other creative ideas to provide new opportunities
and experiences for chapter membership. The Program Committee works with
the Membership Committee, using the results from the Member Interest
Survey to provide specific experiences requested by the members. The
Vice President presents the calendar of events first to the Executive
Committee for approval and then to the chapter membership. The Vice President
monitors the progress of all sub- and ad hoc committees formed to support
chapter programming.
Optional sub-committees: The Vice President may coordinate the following
sub-committees to meet the ongoing needs of the members: Service; Professional
Development; Social; and Public Relations/Publicity.
Membership Committee
The Membership Chair chairs the Membership Committee,
a standing committee required by the International Constitution and Bylaws.
This committee is responsible for recruiting members and retaining them once
they join the chapter. The committee generates a list of potential members
and verifies eligibility. The Membership Committee plans and presents the
informational meeting for prospective members and the orientation meeting
for newly inducted members. This committee also coordinates the initiation
ceremony. After the initiation, the Membership Chair works with the Secretary
and Treasurer to complete the initiate list information. The Membership
Committee conducts the Member Interest Survey and works with the Program
Committee to provide specific experiences requested by members. This
committee creates and implements a plan to keep members involved in the
chapter and informed about Kappa Delta Pi benefits. The Membership Committee
coordinates programs to recognize member accomplishments.
Optional Sub-committees: The Membership Chair may coordinate the following sub-committees to reach out and connect all members of the chapter: Alumni Relations; Membership Participation Programming.
Fund-raising
Committee
The
Foundation Representative chairs the Fund-raising Committee. The Fund-raising
Committee collaborates with the Program Committee to plan and implement
all fund-raising to support chapter events, scholarships, community projects
and Society functions. The Foundation Representative works with the Treasurer
to match funding to chapter projects. This committee also coordinates
efforts to raise money for Convocation attendance.
