This section is designed to assist ASBDA State Chairs with helpful ideas, projects, and documents for their state.
The first, and most important, tool for the State Chair is the calendar checklist below. It's a quick checklist for State Chairs and their duties as they go through the year. Some duties can be delegated to other chapter members as needed but it is the responsibility of the state chair to make sure the tasks are completed on time.
Here are some basic tools to assist with correspondence and marketing:
State Chairs should maintain a current chapter roster of members in their state. State rosters should be updated each fall and sent to the Regional Rep by September 15th.
