Chapter Forms (forms are for reference only; certify via the Cvent survey)

Chapters must certify chapter documents via the Cvent survey. 
PCI Compliance: Ensure your PCI compliance is completed annually for your merchant account. Do not allow it to expire!

Treasurers: To complete the information and certify the chapter forms via the Cvent survey, use the Cvent survey. Forms included in this survey are the Authorization for Inclusion, Certification of Organization_No Ed Foundation, and Practice of Operating Policies. Treasurers then need to upload applicable financial documents via this Chapter Financial Review Upload survey.

Chapter Treasurers in collaboration with the 2023-24 President will also need to complete the IRS 990 Tax Compliance Survey by August 1. Treasurers will need to complete the Conflict of Interest Form as well.

All Voting Directors & Officers of the Chapter (including Treasurers): To complete your Conflict of Interest Form via the Cvent survey, click here
