PROCEDURES

 

1.  ARMA International establishes regions for purposes of providing member services, including education and training (see Exhibit A).

 

            2.  Chapter alignment:

 

    Notwithstanding regional boundaries, a chapter may align itself with a region other than the one in which it is geographically located. This may be done where economically and geographically feasible to improve the servicing of the chapter.

 

 

For a chapter to align itself with a different region:

(a)  the board of directors of the chapter seeking such alignment communicates its desire for alignment with a different region to Member Services at ARMA headquarters.

(b)  the Region Manager investigates the feasibility of the change in chapter alignment by communicating with leaders of the chapter(s) involved and the Region Manager.

(c) ARMA headquarters approves or disapproves the request based on the information obtained in the course of the investigation.  If approved, the chapter becomes part of the region with which it aligned itself for purposes of reporting, funding, contributing to the region fund, and the like. This alignment remains in effect until the chapter or Region Manager requests otherwise.
