The purpose of the Success Management Team is to provide guidance, accountability, and support to chapter leadership through compassionate coaching. This is not just for chapter presidents or officers, but anyone in the chapter can reach out to their assigned Success Manager for any assistance they may need. As the school year is starting back up, we wanted you to learn a little more about your Success Managers.
