How does a member update their contact information with National?

Members can update their mailing address, phone number(s), email addresses, rank and active duty status by sending an email to navysna@aol.com.  They can also submit an address change online in the “Members Only” section by clicking on the Address Update link. No username or password is required to use this link.

 

How does a member change their chapter affiliation?

Chapter affiliation is based on member’s mailing address.  If a member has moved, they need to send SNA their new mailing address and chapter affiliation will be changed at that time.  If a member wants to request a specific chapter that is not affiliated with their mailing address, then the request needs to be made by the member via email.

 

Where can a chapter look at monthly chapter stats?

Monthly chapter stats are posted on the Chapter Relations website during the first week of each month.  The link to that website is http://128.121.188.113/chapterrelations/  Once on the site, click on Chapter Liaison Announcements link.

 

Where can a chapter find fund request forms?

Fund request forms in both Word and PDF format are available on the Chapter Relations website at http://128.121.188.113/chapterrelations/  Once on the site, click on the National Finance Forms link.

 

Where can a chapter locate a copy of the SNA National bylaws?

What format should chapter inputs for the SNA Sitrep be submitted?

SITREP inputs should be sent to snasitrep@aol.com or dgarrynavysna@aol.com in Word format.  Pictures should not be included in the input but should be sent as separate JPEG files.  If sending pictures, please send captions within the email or as a separate Word file.

 

What information is included in the monthly roster sent to chapters each month? 

Chapter rosters are emailed to designated chapter officers the first week of each month.  The rosters will have 2-4 worksheets included depending on each chapter.  Descriptions of the worksheets are listed below and in the monthly email.  If possible, please review the rosters and email any updates or changes to our office so that the National database reflects the most current member information.

 

·        The first worksheet is the complete chapter roster.

·        The second worksheet is a drop list that lists all members dropped at the end of the month due to an expired membership.   If you have updated information on anyone listed on the drop list, please let me know and I can email them a renewal notice.  List is sorted by chapter then by last name.

·        The third worksheet lists members who have joined or transfer to your area during the past month.

·        The fourth worksheet lists members who are due for renewal for 3 months.

 

 

Does SNA National support/fund chapter golf tournaments?

National does not fund chapter golf tournaments.  Green fees should be charged to players in an amount that covers golf tournament costs.  Tournaments should break even or make a profit.  Chapters can try to get corporate sponsors to offset costs for prizes, meals, beverage carts, etc.  Corporate sponsor requests should not be made by Active Duty or Government employees.  Retired Military or Civilian members can solicit sponsorships or a chapter can send a list of companies with contact information and National can contact on the chapter’s behalf. 

National will provide up to $3 per players for 1 event each year to be applied towards a golf giveaway.  National can provide giveaway options for a chapter to select and will place the order or the chapter can purchase their own giveaways and provide receipt to National.  Samples of previous giveaways are available online at on the Chapter Relations website at http://128.121.188.113/chapterrelations/  Once on the site, click on Chapter Liaison Announcements link. 

If a chapter has any questions about funding and a golf tournament, please contact SNA.

 

When should fund requests be submitted to National and when does check arrive

All fund request forms have to be approved prior to fund distribution and need to be submitted to National at least 2 weeks prior to event.  Once approved, fund request checks need to be signed by the National treasurer.  Depending on schedule, checks may not be signed immediately.  Every effort is made to provide approved checks to chapter prior to event as long as request timeline is met.
