FNPS Handbook
The FNPS Handbook is the official FNPS resource for Chapter Operations. Please notify Council leaders of errors, needed updates, and additional information for Chapter Operations so we can improve upon it. Your assistance will make that task easier.
Information in this area is extensive, so look here first for Chapter resources. The paragraphs on Chapter Finances concerning application to pay sales tax has recently (2014) been updated.
