Subj: Chapter Officer’s Roster, Form F-7

JUST A REMINDER FOR ALL CHAPTERS:

The Chapter Officer’s Roster, Form F-7, MUST be submitted once a year, by January 1, even if there are no changes within the chapter.

The Chapter Officer’s Roster, Form F-7, MUST be submitted each time there is a change in officers, address, phone and or e-mail.

The Chapter Officer’s Roster, Form F-7, MUST be submitted each time if the chapter dues are changed, or the meeting time, date, location, is changed .

The reason that this is so important is that they are the basis for ALL distribution of materials from National Headquarters; that way information pertinent to a particular officer or chair is forwarded directly to them, rather than the Chapter President. It is also the basis for the CSFC Chapter Directory; which is only as good as the information provided.

When the F-7 is completed manually, the original should be forwarded to the National Office, Federation and Chapter Services F-7 Unit; a copy should be forwarded to the Federation Secretary, (even though the form says Federation President); and a copy should be forwarded to the District Vice President. The chapter should retain a copy for file.

The form may also be completed through the NARFE Web Site, (after you’ve signed on as a member, go to “Forms”, then to “F-7, Chapter Officer’s Roster”). In the block that states, “Federation President E-Mail Address”; type in the e-mail address of the Federation Secretary, then a comma and a space, followed by the e-mail address of the District Vice President. In the next block, type in your e-mail address (for verification of the fact it was sent, and you have a record of what was sent). It may be a good idea to print a copy of the form before you send it, in case there is some type of problem with sending the file.

To reduce cost and waste, NARFE has established a “paperless” program that eliminates paper reports for chapters. If you want to continue to receive paper copies, you must indicate in the appropriate space.

If you marked the appropriate space, you will continue to receive paper copies of NARFE reports, and your chapter will be charged for the shipping and handling costs. This includes the M-112, M-114, etc.
