    Section 3. CHAPTERS.
    a. Eligibility for membership in chapters is set forth below:
    (1) Only members of the Association may be REGULAR MEMBERS of chapters.
    (2) Any commissioned or warrant officer of the United States Armed Forces, except active duty Coast Guard chief warrant officers, may be a SOCIAL MEMBER of chapters.
    b. Chapters are established primarily for social purposes and group representation to the Executive Committee.
    c. All chapter offices are considered vacant if notification of the results of the election of officers is not received at the Association office within 60 days of the expiration of the term of office.
    d. The last remaining elected official of a chapter which disbands or whose charter is revoked shall forward all records, remaining funds, and chapter charter to the Association office for disposition.
    e. A chapter may propose a resolution or motion to the Association in writing. When a written resolution is received from a chapter, the Association shall take action on that resolution at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Association. A resolution from a chapter shall be considered a main motion and will require a second from the floor. A resolution from a chapter to the Association shall be signed by the chapter President and witnessed by a member of that chapter who was present at the time the motion was adopted by the chapter. Association action shall be published in a future newsletter for the information of all members.
    f. The Association recognizes the right of any chapter to form an Auxiliary which will be governed by the individual chapter's bylaws.
    g. If any chapter's membership falls below ten regular members, who are not counted against another chapter’s role for eligibility, it shall lose representation on the Executive Committee. If the chapter's membership falls below five members, the Executive Committee will review the chapter's charter for disbandment.
