BECOMING A SUBCHAPTER
Chapters in the area are authorized to establish within
the chapter boundaries separate Subchapters as deemed
appropriate. Subchapters must be authorized in their by-laws.
ROTC companies established as subchapters may be formed
with a minimum of fifteen members.
Each subchapter should have a Subchapter president,
secretary, and as many vice presidents as deemed appropriate.
The purpose of a subchapter is to raise the visibility of the U.S.
Army and the Association within the community, increase
membership, and serve as the Association’s representative
within the given area or unit.
BECOMING A SUBCHAPTER (cont.)
All members of a subchapter will remain affiliated with the parent
chapter, but may desire to conduct their own meetings under their own
identity. Representatives of the subchapter should serve as permanent
members of the parent chapter executive committee and have an
equal voice in chapter policy.
Subchapters may not have treasurers, or separate financial
records, bank accounts, etc. The parent chapter will perform all
administrative support and financial assistance for all subchapters.
ROTC companies established as subchapters will turnover any funds to
the chapter treasurer; thereafter, all company financial activities will be
handled by the chapter treasurer.
Both the ROTC company and the established chapter must both
concur in writing, that the creation of the subchapter is mutual.
