Tips
A few suggestions to make your chapter a success!
Chapter Board Leadership
Each chapter is organized around an officer structure. Here are guidelines and suggestions of responsibilities for each officer position
Publicity and Communication
The CPAA provides e-blast for all events. However the publicity and communication cannot stop here. Learn what your chapter can do to get the word out.
Financial Guidelines (coming soon)
Chapters of the CPAA are responsible for maintaining their own financial records. A chapter has the responsibility to keep the chapter in good standing and budget accordingly. Each year chapters are required to turn in a year end statement to the CPAA office. Find out more financial guidelines for your chapter.
Facebook best practices
We encourage chapter leaders to use Facebook to build community among members, to reach out to alumni from the area, and to promote chapter events. Use these best practices to make your facebook group with a CPAA stamp of approval.
