Chapter Delegate

Each of the 25 chapters of SOPHE has a Chapter Delegate. These 25 delegates make up the House of Delegates of SOPHE. Each chapter delegate has the responsibility to serve as a liaison and avenue for communication between SOPHE and his/her home chapter. The chapter delegates' work is carried out through the twice -a-year, face-to-face House of Delegates' meetings (at the Annual & Mid-year Conferences of SOPHE) and via monthly, 60-90 minute, telephone conference calls. In addition, the Chapter Delegate works with the Chapter President to ensure that:

1. The Chapter is in compliance with National SOPHE bylaws
2. The Chapter responds to periodic requests for information from the Executive Director
3. The active chapter representation and input on the Advocacy, Continuing Education, and External Communications committees of SOPHE.

Each chapter delegate is elected by the Chapter membership for a two-year term.  In the InSOPHE Chapter, the Chapter Delegate is an elected at the Fall Business Meeting of InSOPHE in even numbered years. In addition to serving in SOPHE's House of Delegates, the InSOPHE Chapter Delegate is a voting member on the InSOPHE Board of Directors.
