Resources for Chapter Presidents

The resources below are meant to help you in your role as chapter president with quick tips on leadership, meetings and succession planning. Specific information on AFP resources is available in other sections of the Chapter Resource Guide, but this leadership information was created with you in mind. We also strongly encourage you to attend the Chapter leadership meetings held immediately before AFP ICON (Spring) and AFP LEAD (Fall) for additional leadership training and networking opportunities. For those unable to travel in person, AFP Global offers January Orientations, focused sessions, and networking with chapter leaders from like-sized chapters all virtually via Zoom throughout the year. Check the Chapter Leaders Newsletter (CLN) for current info.
