Helpful Tips
- Engage members of your chapter leadership (e.g., committee chairpersons, committee members, etc.) by assigning responsibility for completing the areas that are mentioned in the applications. This will help to ensure that no one individual is overwhelmed by the many responsibilities of chapter management. It will also assist in the development of future chapter leaders in support of your chapter’s leadership succession planning process.
- Establish specific target dates for completion, affording you enough time for compilation and submission to ASHHRA in a timely manner.
