2025-26 State Officer Team Program of Work
State Officers have the responsibility of serving the organization based on the mission and goals of the organization at that time. Each officer is responsible for setting and working toward individual, group, and organizational goals that will build their own leadership potential as well as serve the needs of the organization. Many of these initiatives come from the current Strategic Plan and are outlined by the team in their Program of Work during the State Officer Leadership Academy (SOLA).

State Officer Chapter Visits
State Officers are available to provide leadership development and programming assistance to local chapters and districts. This can take place via a live training (virtual or in-person) or by communicating with them by email. To request a visit from a member of the State Officer Team, please visit the State Officer Visit Request Form.
