Chapters prepare programs of work tailored to best meet the needs of their memberships, schools, and communities. The Chapter Management Handbook mailed at the beginning of the school year provides information on current programs, special activities, and deadlines to help chapters develop their programs of work, which can include:


Professional activities that increase student skills or knowledge of the business world. Project examples include inviting local business people as guest speakers, visits to local businesses, and preparation for competitive events.

Service activities that help people in need. In addition to national partnerships with the March of Dimes and the Tourette's Syndrome Association, chapters can get involved in local community works and projects.

Civic activities that promote civic pride and good citizenship. Chapters work with local chambers of commerce, business people, and business organizations.

Fundraising activities that finance chapter projects and conference trips. Chapters can participate in national fundraising programs or develop local fundraisers of their own.
