The intent is to:
1) bring more, and more consistent, information to chapter leaders;
2) encourage more feedback from chapters and devote more attention to chapter issues;
3) support additional sharing of best practices; and
4) offer a method for gaining input to further improve training and reference materials.
Each chapter’s advisor will be introduced by the Lutheran Community Services Specialist at one of the chapter meetings held during the summer months, be trained in September, and be onboard in the fourth quarter.

The main elements of the Chapter Advisory role are:
· Serve as a resource to answer questions from chapter leaders.
· Report progress of the chapter boards in reaching fraternal goals to the assigned Lutheran Community Services team member.
· Ensure communications with Financial Representatives about chapter events and issues.
· Monitor the chapter leadership board election process.
· Share best practices with the assigned chapters and with the LCS Team.
· Serve as a liaison between chapter leadership boards and the LCS Team.
Each chapter advisor volunteer will be working with the Coordinator of Chapter Advisors and the Lutheran Community Services Specialist serving the geographic area. This program will expand to include all the chapters. In the interim, those chapters that do not have a Chapter Advisor, will be served by their LCSS, as in the past.
We believe that this program will increase the support given to chapter leaders, allow the LCS Team to focus on increasing member and volunteer awareness, and provide time for the LCSSs to work more closely with the financial team.
