COMBAT VETERANS INTERNATIONAL
STARTING YOUR OWN CHAPTER
Want to know what it takes to start a chapter of Combat Veterans International? Read on.
This is a brief summary of the requirements to start a chapter of Combat Veterans International. Please contact one of the National or State Officers in your area for full details and specific requirements, thank you.
The basic requirements to start a chapter are:
Once you have five interested veterans, you will be provided with copies of the Bylaws and will need to sign an agreement that you will abide by those Bylaws as a Chapter. As many of your prospective members as can will need to meet with the National Officers three times in order to discuss the goals and vision of the Organization with them, as well as to lay out your ideas for why you want to start a chapter. You will assign the duties of President, Vice President, Sergeant at Arms, Secretary, and Treasurer to your prospective members.
Having successfully completed this step, you will apply to the National Board of Directors, which includes delegates from each existing chapter, for a Probationary status as a Chapter. If you are granted this status, you will be provided with a "Combat Veteran" Rocker for each prospective member and each member will be expected to create a cut. You will be expected to send a delegate to each quarterly meeting of the NBOD. Six months after obtaining Probationary Chapter status, a vote will be held at which you can be granted full Chapter status and full patches awarded to your qualified members by the National Board of Directors.
If you are still interested, please go to the Contacts page and get in touch with one of our National Officers.
Ride safe.
