The programs chair has the responsibility for completing the following tasks:

1. Securing presenters for regular chapter meetings.
2. Under ordinary circumstances, the program chair should identify potential presenters and subjects for those presenters and then discuss the potential presenters with the board of directors. After the board of directors has approved the potential presenters and subjects, the programs chair should then approach the potential presenters to make arrangements for presentations.
3. If circumstances do not allow for this ordinary procedure to be followed, the programs chair should involve the board in the decision making about presenters as much as possible through e-mail messages and telephone calls.
4. Informing presenters of the presenter guidelines posted on the chapter's web site. Sales pitches should be discouraged!
5. Before the program chair for a year shall leave office, he or she shall have lined up at least two programs for the next year.
6. Selecting the menu at the hotel or other facility for holding the regular chapter meeting or otherwise selecting the menu to be catered. (The treasurer is responsible for providing the final count of attendees.)
