How do I update the advisor contact information for my school?

  1. Reach out to the Zone Councilor and Associate Zone Councilor for your zone.  They maintain officer information for each chapter in your zone and would love to work with you to creat connections.
  2. Use the Member Directory to find contact information for others who are nearby.
  3. Email others via your zone Google Group. All advisers are encouraged to subscribe to the Google Group for your zone by sending a message to your zone counselor.
