**Definition and explanation of this report and reporting periods.
Department quarterly meetings are required in accordance with the Department By-Laws. In order to allow sufficient time to compile and write the quarterly report, the reporting periods have been adjusted to end prior to the Department quarterly meeting or Convention and to run 90 days per quarter.


The periods typically are:

Spring quarter - 1 December to 28/29 February
Convention/Summer quarter - 1 March to 31 May
Fall quarter - 1 June to 31 August
Winter quarter - 1 September to 30 November


The purpose of these quarterly reports is to compile Detachment activity data for the Department annual report which must be presented to the Mideast Division prior to the annual National Convention.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR THE DETACHMENT

In 2007, the Department of North Carolina split the Adjutant/Paymaster position into two separate positions, so this guide explains who gets what form.

Who does this form go to in North Carolina?

We would like to ensure that all Detachments are aware of who to exactly send mailings too. Below is a guideline for all Detachments to follow. Please make sure that all of your mailings go to the correct person below, regardless of what the official form says, as the processing of them ‘may’ be delayed if delivered to the incorrect North Carolina Department Officer.

DEPARTMENT PAYMASTER (Treasurer and Membership Manager)

1) Membership Dues Transmittal and Change Notification Form

2) Transfer Request

3) Report of Officer Installation

DEPARTMENT ADJUTANT (Secretary)

1) Quarterly Report (from Detachment Commandants and Department Officers to the Department Commandant)

2) Agenda (requests to add items to the agenda of an upcoming meeting - subject to Department Commandant’s approval)

DEPARTMENT CHAPLAIN

Routing: Forward copies to your District Vice Commandant and the Department Adjutant(s)
