[edit] RESPONSIBILITIES OF CHAPTER REPRESENTATIVES

The Chapter Representative is the official representative of each Chapter to the Council of Chapters of the American Statistical Association (ASA), and as such, is the crucial communication link between the Chapter, the Council, and ASA as a whole. The Council of Chapters consists of one representative from each Chapter and the members of the Governing Board. The duties of the Chapter Representative are to:

1. Encourage and serve as the communications link between the local Chapter and the Council of Chapters.
   • Complete and return the Annual Report of Chapter Activities to the Council of Chapters (see <www.amstat.org/chapters/survey/>).
   • Disseminate communications from the Council to local Chapter members and insure Chapter follow up.
   • Encourage Chapter participation in Council programs and initiatives.
   • Insure that someone from the Chapter notifies ASA’s Chapters and Sections Coordinator (Chapters@amstat.org) of their election results within 30 days of the election.
2. Attend the Business Meeting and Workshop of the Council of Chapters at the Annual Meetings of the ASA.
3. Participate in the election of the Chair-Elect of the Council of Chapters.
4. Participate in the election of the Vice Chair for his or her local District.

Although the method of selection of the Chapter Representative is the prerogative of the local Chapter, the Chapter Representative must be a member of the American Statistical Association. The term of office is three years, as specified in the Charter of the Council of Chapters. The Chapter Representative is an officer of the local Chapter and a member of its Executive Committee.

As liaison between the Chapters and the Council of Chapters, the Chapter Representative is encouraged to keep the Council and other Chapters current on Chapter activities.
