Chapter Officer Position Descriptions

A link to the Chapter Position Descriptions is HERE. Position descriptions are a guide to help you with your service, not a strict list of tasks. You may find that you may do more or less for your chapter than what is listed in the position description. You could provide these to someone that is interested in becoming a chapter office but is not quite sure what would be involved with it.

Chapter Officer FAQ

Who sets the Chapter’s coverage area?
WWOA Board of Directors

How can we change our Chapter’s Bylaws?
Check your Chapter’s current Bylaws to see the correct process you must follow. After you have gone through that process, proposed changes must be submitted to the WWOA Board and approved by them.

Who sets and can change the fee for Chapter members?
The Chapter Boards

How can I check if a prospective Chapter member is a State WWOA member?
You can call or email the WWOA Office at any time and the information will be provided.
Also, quarterly reports of new state members are submitted to Chapter Chairs and if your chapter has submitted a membership brochure to the WWOA Office, your brochure is included with new member packets to individuals joining in your chapter’s area. 

*It is highly encouraged to follow-up with the new State WWOA members from the Quarterly list and invite them to join your Chapter.

Do you have to notify the WWOA Office after Chapter Elections?
YES! The office needs to be updated of any Chapter Officer change. They also need full contact information for all Chapter Officers.

A message (email or mailing) was sent to all Chapter members about upcoming Chapter events, do you need to send the WWOA Office a copy?
YES! State WWOA needs to be informed of ALL Chapter meetings/events/conference/field days/etc.  to assure that the event is “Official” and covered by insurance.
