Pinellas County Chapter 522

“Five Double Deuce”

“Never again will one generation of veterans abandon another.”


Welcome Home

In accordance with the by-laws for Chapter 522, we have five elected officer positions that are staffed from members who are deemed to be in good standing and who are listed on our most current membership role. The titles for the five officer positions are president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, and chaplain. Officers are elected with the expectation that they will each serve a 2-year term. Elections are scheduled bi-annually and normally occur in the second quarter of a calendar year. Our next planned elections will take place during the second quarter of 2012.

Chapter 522 also has three director positions, each serving 2-year terms on the same election cycle as the elected officers. The directors and officers together comprise the board of directors for the chapter. Board meetings are normally held once each quarter. The board often reviews significant issues and policies before presenting the information to the general membership for a vote.

Our organization has an active list of delegates, representatives, committees, and special appointments. Nominations and selection of members to fill each position are typically done as needed. Officers, directors, and members are all eligible to fill these positions. The specific terms and responsibilities associated which these positions are determined when the positions are created.

Chapter 522 conducts a regular monthly meeting every month of the year.

In accordance with guidelines received from the Vietnam Veterans of America, Inc. (national organization) and the Florida State Council (state organization), Chapter 522 adheres to their guidelines regarding disclosures. A summary of the current disclosure statements is provided as a sub-topic.
