SigEp’s best chapters have two things in common: they hold a thoughtful and well-structured election process and conduct a comprehensive transition retreat to establish continuity and ensure incoming leaders are setup for success. The sections below provide guidance and resources to help your chapter achieve these goals.
Officer Elections
Officer elections are one of the most overlooked, yet important, processes chapters implement. Great chapters ensure that the top candidates run, are elected, are prepared to take the office and are successful as they take on newfound responsibility among their brothers.
We’ve created this resource, Maximizing Officer Elections, to help your chapter take advantage of this important process.
The links below are important supporting resources that are referenced throughout Maximizing Officer Elections:
Watch the Training in 10: Successful Officer Elections video to get a full understanding of how to implement this process.
Officer Transition
The process of transitioning officers is one of the most critical steps in the long-term stability and success of a chapter. Executive board members are the elected leaders of the chapter. Their ability to set the tone and direction of the chapter will determine its success. When leaders change, a smooth officer transition is the only way to ensure operational consistency and continued success.
SigEp’s Officer Transition Guide provides the necessary steps and supporting resources to ensure your chapter reaps the benefits of this important transition period.

We’ve created this manual, Officer Update Process, as a resource to help the incoming chapter president report on the officer elections outcome. By following this manual, the incoming chapter president is able to remove outgoing officers and add incoming officers from the Chapter Officer Portal within their Membership Account.
