Regional chapter Leaders are responsible for their Branch's meeting requirements, continued activities, and mentoring their Branch Organizers as needed. The Chapter Committee will additionally monitor this yearly and discuss deficiencies with the Regional Chapter if necessary. If a Branch meets the standard requirements for a City chapter, they can opt to "graduate" to a full Chapter, as long as they continue to meet the requirements. However, while this should be encouraged, it is not mandatory, and they may continue as a Branch. If the Branch does become a Chapter, the Regional Chapter must continue to meet its requirements.
