How are DKE chapters governed?

DKE chapters are governed by a set of bylaws and executive officers elected by the members. This governance structure ensures that each chapter operates according to principles and rules agreed upon by its members, promoting democracy and accountability within the organization. The elected officers typically have specific responsibilities, helping manage day-to-day operations, planning events, and facilitating communication among members.

Bylaws serve as a foundational document that outlines the rights, responsibilities, and procedures for the chapter, guiding how decisions are made and ensuring that there is consistency in operations. This combination of bylaws and elected leadership allows for flexibility and responsiveness to the needs of the membership while maintaining adherence to the overall mission of DKE as an organization.
