<br>
Many of you have shared with us that you’d like to have more opportunities to learn from each other and support each other on leadership and chapter management topics. We have therefore decided to expand our pool of Chapter Peer Mentors to cover more topics
than just election observers (which was a resource that was highly appreciated by many chapters over the last couple of years - thanks to all volunteers!!!). <br>
<br>
Today is your chance to let us if you are interested in becoming a Chapter Peer Mentor. Whether a chapter is just forming, looking to expand, or refining its operations, your expertise can make a difference!
