Sons of Liberty Operating Procedures

Our Bismarck chapter will throw four large events per year and will hold four open meetings per year.  These eight events will be all hands on deck.

In addition to the eight events, SOL will divide itself into committees that will handle all other necessary work.  Each committee will be chaired by one a board member or officer.  All board members must chair one committee.  The president and vice president will both be vice chair of every committee to provide oversight.  SOL members will be encouraged to join committees that are of interest to them.

All committee chairs will give a committee update to members during open meetings.  They can also ask for funds at open meetings.  More committees can be added as we grow and as needs arise, but will not activate without a chair and enough volunteers or funds to be successful.  Committees are listed below:
