  5. IncorrectAFSA Manual 100-3, Standards for AFSA Officers, contains the Standards of Conduct and Practices that must be followed by all AFSA Officials and reflects the position of those officials as a body. It is a formal guide that contributes to the consistency of behavior and methods while doing AFSA business. It doesn’t cover procedures, such as when reports are due.

  6. IncorrectSocial media is good for networking and getting advice. It may not be the best source for official guidance.

  7. IncorrectIf you absolutely need to talk to somebody, contact your Division Trustees or President first. HQ AFSA is a great source for information but they are very busy. There are only 14 people employed to care for over 100,000 members.

  8. Correct!AFSA Manual (AFSAM) 100-2, Policy and Procedures of the AFSA was developed to support our Bylaws.

McGehee, TSgt Virgil Perry, SSgt Donald Ward and TSgt Lee Thompson applied for a charter as a non-profit association and was approved on May 3, 1961.

  37. IncorrectThis is not enough notice for members to make plans to attend. Refer to the P&P, Principle 5, Section 10 for required notice of meetings.

  40. Correct!Notice of the time and place of meetings shall be given at least ten days prior to the meeting.

A quorum must exist prior to conducting official business.# of Members in Chapter / # of AFSA Members Present 501—or more 20 201—500 15 25—200 10

  45. IncorrectThe entire executive council could be present and still not meet quorum requirements; preventing the ability to make decisions for the general membership.

  46. 10. How can a quorum be suspended or waived? A. Make a motion then have most members present at the meeting pass it, so the motion carries.B. If proper notice of the meeting was made, quorum can automatically be waived if people don’t show up.C. Make a local decision or standing rule so you never need a quorum. D. Give proper meeting notice and have 67% of presentmembers vote to proceed with business.

  47. IncorrectSuspending quorum requirements is more in-depth that that. See AFSAM 100-2,Principle 5, Section 10, paragraph d.

  48. IncorrectThe few people present cannot make decisions for the entire Chapter. Business cannot be conducted without a quorum and the meeting must be rescheduled and re-advertised.

  49. IncorrectChapters may adopt local Standing Rules employing different quota requirements and/or suspension of quorum procedures, but that standing rule must be approved by the Division Executive Council prior to local implementation.

  50. Correct!If a quorum is not present, and proper notice has been provided (IAW Principle 5, Section 10c) the members present may suspend the quorum by a two-thirds majority vote and proceed with the business of the meeting. The suspension shall be effective for that meeting only.
