Who should be involved in developing the POA?

• A. Every Chapter Member
• B. Chapter Advisor Only
• C. State Officers
• D. National Officers

Answer: (A)

The plan of activities is a planning document that should reflect the interests, goals, and initiative of the entire chapter. Involving every chapter member ensures that the activities chosen truly represent what the group wants to accomplish, fosters ownership, and builds leadership as members contribute ideas and take on roles in planning and implementation. The chapter advisor and higher-level officers can guide, provide resources, and offer perspective, but the development of the POA works best when the whole chapter participates so the plan is relevant and actionable at the local level. Limiting input to a single person or to state or national officers tends to miss local needs and reduces buy-in and accountability.
