Treasurer should be prepared to provide regular, detailed reports of the Chapter’s financial status to its members.

Host/Hostess This role applies to each regular Chapter gathering. The Host/Hostess should ensure that the meeting room is clean and set up before each Chapter meeting; cleaned up afterward; trash taken out and room left in better shape than when the meeting started. S/he should also coordinate snacks, set out meeting refreshments, and put away food afterward. Finally, the Host/Hostess should enlist the help of volunteers after the meeting to clean up and arrange the room as they found it. Service Project Coordinator This can be either a roving role, i.e., each service project can have a different Service Project Coordinator, or a Chapter can have a single Service Project Coordinator to coordinate all the projects for a given period of time. The Service Project Coordinator should research and select service projects for the Chapter. S/he should work with the Treasurer for necessary project funds and coordinate service project at the location(s) of project. S/he should also assign someone to take photos of project and get photos to the Vice President. Members of a SIAFU Chapter must be professing Christians who affirm the commitment to the SIAFU Chapter, its doctrine and policies, and its leadership team. The Chapter leadership structure (four Officers and two Support Leaders) is shared by all the SIAFU Chapters throughout the entire national Network. It is not meant to hinder your vision, but to strengthen the possibility of allowing urban disciples to exercise leadership in their local church communities. Of course, on the start of your SIAFU Chapter, you may only have a handful of members, perhaps not even enough members of the Chapter to account for all the Officers and support leaders! Be flexible and open to the Lord; do what you can to start, but be open to filling out these A Simple Structure to Allow for Greatest Freedom and Maximum Impact
