Purpose
- This
 Handbook is intended to provide SEAALL officers, committee chairs, and 
members an overview of the Chapter's operations. The Handbook should 
assist members assuming leadership positions to commence their work with
 information regarding the functions, duties, and responsibilities of 
each position as well as the practices of prior officers and committee 
chairs. The Handbook will also help to clarify instances of overlapping 
and intersecting responsibility, and to provide an idea of how the work 
one does may affect or be affected by the work of others.
- The
 Handbook is not intended to create unbending rules of procedure or to 
stifle creativity. Hopefully, the Handbook will provide an outline of 
past practices to serve as a starting point. The vitality of any 
organization requires initiative and imagination.
