Note: NO Promotion is just given for meeting the time requirements. Promotions must be earned by fulfilling all the responsibilities of each rank. Promotions are not asked for; promotions are earned. Because you have been in your position for a long time does not guarantee you a promotion. If you have completed these requirements, please speak with a leader. If you are not maintaining the requirements of your position please understand you are hurting your section, the community, and your friends. If this happens you will be relieved of your leadership position. It isn’t personal. We can’t have inactive or ineffective leaders hold back what our members need.

Division Leaders must have a great relationship with all Section Leaders and Chiefs, and be able to handle bigger responsibilities. Division Leaders must meet with all Section Leaders to discuss section business, section splits, future promotions, and the direction of the community (Rotation). Division Leaders who have mastered the position will be assigned to community tasks. Being global and seeing the big picture as noticed by the Community and Council Leader is how a Division Leader is promoted.
It is mandatory for the Division Leaders to train and develop the Section Leaders in their division. The success of the Division and the Section Leaders is the #1 priority of the Division Leaders. By doing their required rotations they are ensuring the Section Leader’s needs are met and formulate plans to fix issues within the section.

THE COUNCIL OF LEADERS (XX)
The Council of Leaders is made up of the founding members of the community. The Council works within a democratic structure voting on what is best for all of the community. These ideals keep the community from being about one person’s quest. Council Leaders, we’re sorry but you’re stuck with the XX unless you decide to turn into a jackass. In that case, you will get two words not two letters for your promotion.
