AFLSE Board Announces Important Changes to Chapter Structure
Dear Reader, Starting in 2008, chapter status will be accorded to geographic groups that are organizing current website announced activities. Geographic leaders who are not organizing events will be accorded the title “AFLSE Local Representative”.
A number of important decisions were taken at the AFLSE board meeting yesterday that you were invited to attend and I wanted to update you immediately on the chapter changes as we hope that some of you will want to take action. Chapters must have events to continue to be designated as Chapters
Specifically, any current chapter that had not organized an event in 2007 will not be considered a chapter in 2008. We hope that the leader(s) will agree to remain with the AFLSE as a local representative and move towards re-establishing their chapter status in 2009. To re-establish chapter status for 2009, local groups will be required to post two events to the web site during 2008.
The following local groups have already made chapter status for 2008
| New York |
| Washington |
| Boston |
| San Francisco |
| Los Angeles |
| Chicago |
| Philadelphia |
| Miami |
| Seattle |
| Atlanta |
| Houston |
| Denver |
| Dallas |
| Cleveland |
| Detroit/Ann Arbor |
The following local groups have not yet qualified to make chapter status in 2008
| Tampa/ Central Florida |
| Indianapolis |
| San Diego |
| Phoenix |
| St Louis |
| Champaign/Urbana /Downstate Ill |
| Sacramento |
| Buffalo |
| Portland Maine |
| New Orleans |
| Jacksonville/ North Florida |
| Minneapolis |
The new geographic groups, both Chapters and Local Representatives will have new boundaries drawn based on radius from the center of major metropolitan centers designed to allow for normal commuting distance for attending events.
Please bear in mind that this establishes the base membership of a geographic group but any AFLSE member or registered user can opt in to any geographic group that they wish.
The radius’s set and the changes in populations are below. If your e-mail system does not publish the chart, please drop me an e-mail and I will send you the excel spread sheet version.
We look forward to working closely with you on these important transitions as we better define the AFLSE geographic groups throughout the US. I would be pleased to answer any questions that you may have.
Regards,
Leon Desbrow
