Section Operations Manual
No single element in the structure of the society is more vital to the success of SPE than the operations of sections. An organized, active section benefits everyone, and provides a vital link in sustaining the growth and viability of the industry and its technology.
As a section officer, you hold the key to your section's success. You can accomplish the goals and objectives your board has set with the help of all the resources that are available to you: your colleagues, former section and society officers, and the SPE staff.
This Section Operations Manual is revised annually to accommodate policy changes and new best practices. It is a guide and a resources, and it is recommended reading for anyone currently serving as an officer or committee member, or who is interested in a future section leadership position.
