Chapter Committees
What are they?
Chapter Committees also referred to as "teams" are groups formed within the chapter to take on specific responsibilities. The Leader of each committee becomes apart of the Chapter Executive Board and is in charge of maintaining and conducting that team. Anyone can join the committees and start participating. This is the best way to maintain active OA participation and meet fellow chapter Arrowmen. In order to start a committee the chapter or dedicated Arrowmen must recognize the potential benefit and be appointed to that position by the current chapter chief. Not All committees may be permeant the Chapter Chief may also appoint "ad-hoc" committees to accomplish something more specific such as a one time event or upcoming challenge.
