Who or What Is a Fiduciary? • A person who occupies a position of such power and confidence with regard to the property of another that the law requires him to act solely in the interest of the person(s) whom he represents.(source: m-w.com) • The president and the elected board of directors are all fiduciaries to your chapter membership. • The appointed board members are the responsibility of the elected members.
Four Primary Responsibilities • Duty of care • Attend meetings • Run the chapter like a business • Duty of loyalty • Conflicts of interest • Duty of obedience • Follow policies and procedures • Duty to preserve organization’s assets
Conflicts of Interest • A conflict between the private interests and the official responsibilities of a person in a position of trust • Interest with outside persons or entities which might affect or might reasonably be thought by others to affect the judgment or conduct of a director
Chapter Bylaws • Define the relationship between chapters and members • Complementary and subordinate to Articles of Incorporation • May refer to Chapter policies (more flexible) • Must be detailed but not prohibitive • Also must complement Society bylaws to maintain chapter charter
Incorporation • Incorporation provides certain advantages and protection to your chapter, members, and officers. • Eliminates personal liability of members • Establishes continuity • Assists in obtaining insurance coverage • Most states require yearly fees to avoid termination of status
Chapter Executive Duties • Identify your team – board roster (My Chapter) • Delegate – assign authority (My Chapter) • Who does the marketing, programs, etc.? • Who can spend the chapter’s money? • Establish checks and balances • Communication and resources • How can customers reach you? • How will you reach them?
HQ wants more than money • APICS SOP’s require chapter presidents to supply officer names to APICS within 60 days of election. • New chapter officers should be submitted through My Chapter. • All board members should be listed, not just those with My Chapter access.
Risk Opportunities • Educational offerings • PDMs and plant tours • Publicity • Recruitment and retention • Joint ventures “Everything has a benefit and a cost.”
Long-Term Goals • Must be communicated to the incoming BoD • Provide opportunity • for implementing change • to look at the “big picture” • to perform risk assessments • Provide continuity and direction for the BoD • Are a living, changing plan that can adapt to outcomes of current activities • Utilize tools that we are very familiar with in our “professional lives”
Short-Term Plans • Support and help achieve long-term goals • If not, why are you doing it? • Identify where we are and how we plan to get to the next level • Trigger activities or events that: • create new opportunities • create risks that must be assessed “Never mistake activity for achievement.” John Wooden
What to Ask? • Ask yourself, “Do the rewards of the action offset the risks of the activity? (Y/N) • Do short-term negative risks create long-term positive risks? (Y/N) (What are they?) “If you want to achieve a high goal, you're going to have to take some chances.”Alberto Salazar

A Seamless Transition • Your goal should be to make the move from the past regime to yours appear as seamless as possible to the chapter and its customers. • This does not imply that you will not put your own “leadership stamp” on the chapter. • Beware of the “we tried that before in 1927 and it didn’t work” advice from the chapter oracle—the goal is service to your customers.
