FCAA Chapter Policies and Structures

(click on the document titles below to download the PDF documents)

Chapter Application:

We are not currently accepting applications for new chapters--all of our members will be notified later in the year when the application process is again open.  View the Spring 2008 application as an example of the process.

Chapter Articles of Organization:

This is the unified organizing document required by our 501(C)(3) status that we must submit outlining the chapter’s purposes, affiliation as a subordinate chapter of the organization, and requirements of the chapter. The Articles are broad enough to encompass changes within policies and procedures as our chapter network evolves.

Chapter Policies and Procedures:

The policies and procedures contain a great deal of overlap with the Articles of Organization as these outline more specifically the requirements for chapters. The policies and procedures will become more refined over time as our chapter network grows and the organization (including and especially our chapters) determines specific needs.
 

Chapter Charter:

This is the document that would be executed by 3 elected chapter officers and the chair of the FCAA Board of Directors following the Board’s ratification of a group as an FCAA Chapter. This document formalizes the group’s intent and pledge to the mission and vision of FCAA and to adhering to FCAA requirements.
