SECTION I: CHAPTER AND REGION OPERATIONS

CHAPTER II: ORGANIZATION

The United States Army Warrant Officers Association is a national organization structured as follows:
National Headquarters
National Committees
Regions
Chapters
Chapter Names
Designation of a Chapter as a "Silver Chapter"
Designation of a Chapter as a "Gold Chapter"
An explanation of the internal organization of each element follows:

5. CHAPTER NAMES:

a. The chapter names selected should reflect some geographic point of reference, feature or historic reference to the area in which the chapter will be located. The name should be such that anyone can readily recognize the area served by the chapter. The name of the local or nearby military installation is always correct. A chapter name, which refers to a unit numerical designation or unit nickname, may not be appropriate. This is because unit relocation or renaming would likely cause the chapter to be renamed. Also, a chapter name reference to a unit designation may be seen by some prospective members as “restrictive.”


b. Chapter names must be tasteful and supportive of the professionalism which the association presents. The Board of Directors reserves the right to require the change of any chapter name which is deemed inappropriate.”
