2024 By-Laws
The 2024 edition of the Chapter By-Laws have been posted and are available on the Forms page.Issues With Federation Website
Brothers of Bergen County,Since late November, I have been having issues with getting into the back end of the Federation website to update and add new content. I have been patiently working with our hosting company to determine what the issue(s) are and how to resolve them. Until I can get the issues with the Federation website resolved, any events that would normally be posted to the Federation website will be posted to the Bergen Chapter website.
As per the Federation By-Laws, any event and CUF Exemplification to be posted to the website must first be sent to the Federation President for approval. In turn, he will forward the information to me for posting. Steve Martin is the Federation President and his e-mail address is: smmartin1013@gmail.com
Thank you.
