Usage
The chapter charter commitment is one of the 14 chapter commitments chapters need to meet each fiscal year. Chapters must first sign the YPO chapter charter to meet the commitment the first year and then acknowledge the signed chapter charter each fiscal year after signing.

Things to know
The first year a chapter signs the chapter charter, it will count for the Chapter Charter Commitment. The chapter will not need to take the additional step to acknowledge the signed chapter charter the first fiscal year that they sign.
Each fiscal year after signing the chapter charter, the current chapter chair will acknowledge the signed chapter charter. Learn more.
