ProvinceVII Committee Selection

Below are brief descriptions of the standing committees and special committees that will meet at this conclave.  Some of these committees will continue to work as a committee throughout the year.  If you’d like to work with a committee, please indicate your preference for that committee on the committee sign up sheet or email the Satrap your preference prior to the meeting.  All brothers are encouraged to participate on a committee.  Chapters receive 1 point for each committee that has a brother participating for the Chapter of the Year Award.

Standing Committees

Time and Place:  will be charged with the responsibility of selecting the time and place of the next Province VII Assembly.  According to the new meeting rotation, St. Louis, MO, Gamma Pi chapter, is the host for next year’s meeting.  Brothers should bring calendars and lists of dates that would be good or bad for their chapter.  This committee will be chaired by the host chapter chairperson.

Auditing:  will be charged with ensuring all receipts and money transactions were appropriate and that the financial records are in order.

Resolutions:  will be charged with collecting and recommending approval of all resolutions.

Legislative:  will be charged with the collecting, distributing, and recommending approval of all changes to the Province VII bylaws.

Awards: will be charged with supplying the chapters with all the necessary awards paperwork of the Province.  This committee will also evaluate all chapter reports using the approved form for the Best Chapter Report Award.  The committee will evaluate all current criteria for Province Awards and make any necessary recommendations for changes. It will also be responsible for ensuring chapters understand the deadlines for all international fraternity awards and how to fill out the paper work for these awards.  This committee will include only one brother from each chapter and will be chaired by the Vice-Satrap.  This committee may continue its work throughout the year.

Philanthropy:  will be charged with determining the Province philanthropy project for the year.  It will help ensure each chapter participates in the project.  This committee will continue to work together throughout the year to meet its goals.  Brothers will also brainstorm possible philanthropy and professional events for each chapter.  Ideally, there will be at least one brother from each chapter serving on this committee.

Special Committees

New Chapters:  We have two chapters in our province that are currently dormant:  Gamma Gamma and Gamma Mu.  We need to work together as a province to reinstate these chapters. We hope to have a group of brothers that will work together for each of these two chapters.  We also have numerous graduate chapters that need re-establishment.  Also, there are numerous new schools of pharmacy within Province VII that need our help to get Kappa Psi chapters started.  This chapter will continue working throughout the year to meet its goals.

Chapter Interests:  This committee will be a round table discussion of the issues facing the chapters.  How do chapters prioritize national, province, chapter, and school of pharmacy commitments?  This may be a good committee for regents, vice regents, or young leaders.

Risk Management Roundtable:  As part of the Province VII risk management policy, each province meeting will include a risk management workshop or presentation. This committee will serve as a round table discussion of what each chapter does to ensure proper risk management and provide suggestions for the chapters.   It will also ensure the Province meeting is adhering to the Province’s risk management policy and will help ensure future Province meetings follow the guidelines as well.

Graduate Relations:  This will be a roundtable discussion to brainstorm ways to increase participation of graduate brothers, on a local and Province level.  The committee will ensure all chapters are informed of what forms should be filled out after graduation.  It will also discuss voluntary graduate dues and the new giving levels.
