How does the AAS National Headquarters assist local chapters?

The AAS National Headquarters plays a pivotal role in supporting local chapters by providing resources and guidance for program execution. This includes offering frameworks, best practices, and tools that local chapters can utilize to implement their initiatives effectively. This assistance could manifest through training materials, event planning guides, and access to networks that enhance the chapters' operations.

While financial support may be advantageous, it is not the primary function of the National Headquarters. Competitive events are typically organized independently by chapters, and while communication is essential, the management of local chapter communications is often the responsibility of the chapters themselves rather than the National Headquarters. By focusing on resources and program execution guidance, the AAS National Headquarters ensures that chapters are equipped to carry out their missions successfully.
