3.3 Chapter Questionnaire & Funding


ComSoc Chapters can request funding based on specified needs (special events, membership recruitment, publications, publicity activities, remuneration for special lecturers, opening a web page or other electric dissemination, chapter-related expenses). Although funding is set aside to meet these needs, it is available by request only.

In the beginning of each year, a Chapter Questionnaire is e-mailed to Chapters Chairs requesting updated information for the coming year. This includes possible funding requirements anticipated for that year. Requests are evaluated and recommendations made by each Regional Director, based upon a value assigned to each category or type of activity.

  • Included in the questionnaire is a section regarding funding for the previous year. Chapters who received funding the previous year must briefly report (in the questionnaire) on how their funds were utilized. This helps us ascertain major needs among our chapters and ensures that funding is appropriated wisely. Funding for the coming year will not be approved without this report.

  • Final approvals are the responsibility of the Director - Membership Programs Development.

  • When funds are approved, the payment will be made directly to the Chapter from the ComSoc New York Office.

  • Funding requests and all related e-mails/correspondence may be sent to the Director - Membership Programs Development, your Regional Director, or to Carole Swaim (c.swaim@comsoc.org) of ComSoc's Executive & Volunteer Services in New York.
