Chapter Representatives (Council of Chapters Members) are the "information highway" between their Chapters' membership, other FNPS Chapters, and the FNPS state-wide organization. Chapter Representatives elevate local successes and concerns to the Society level, disseminate FNPS news and Council discussions to improve their Chapter's effectiveness, and collaborate to advance the mission of the Society.
