Active Chapter Status
Active chapters have proven to serve members best when they plan, implement, and assess their efforts to recognize and promote excellence. As a consequence, to maintain active chapter status and be eligible for an annual rebate and to initiate new members, a chapter must:
a. Submit an Annual Report (present officers) by April 30th at least once every two years and an Annual Plan (incoming officers) by September 30th at least once every two years.
b. Initiate new members at least once every two years
c. Have a representative in attendance at an annual Assembly meeting at least once every three years
d. Comply with CSI policies as determined by the Executive Council (e.g., only authorized use of CSI registered logo)
To endorse and subsequently initiate new members, the chapter also must have a Chapter Faculty Advisor who is an active member of CSI.
9.2 Each Chapter shall have a designated full time counselor education faculty member serve as Chapter Faculty Advisor of Chi Sigma Iota who shall be responsible for all correspondence between the Headquarters office and chapter members.
9.2.1 The Chapter Faculty Advisor and the second full time Counselor Educator (counselor education doctorate, preferably CACREP) who is agreeable to serving as Chapter Faculty Advisor in the event of such a need shall be active (dues paying or life) members of the Society.
It is a chapter's responsibility to comply, but Headquarters may be contacted for help determining current active chapter status.
CSI is open to alternative methods of serving our members (their students and graduates) but we are resolved that every member must have readily available access to their Chapter Faculty Advisor and regular activities of their chapters including opportunity for mentoring, participation in chapter service projects, nomination for offices, awards, grants, fellowships, etc. Chapters may be deactivated for failure to do so. The above reports help us to determine compliance.
