What is required from all chapters regarding Annual Chapter Certification?

The requirement for all chapters regarding Annual Chapter Certification is that it must be completed by the deadline established by the Chapter Polemarch. This ensures that all chapters maintain a standard timeline for certification, allowing for organization and accountability within the structure of the group. Adhering to this deadline is crucial for meeting governance and operational standards, thereby upholding the integrity and functioning of the chapter. Each chapter must comply with this mandate to ensure they are recognized officially and can participate fully in the organization's activities and initiatives.

Other options, such as the idea of completing the certification after the deadline or making it optional based on chapter size, would undermine the uniform standards expected across all chapters. Similarly, limiting completion to online only could create accessibility issues and potentially exclude members who may have different capabilities or resources.
