An officer may be removed from office for improper conduct or neglect of duty.

- Willful or excessive violation of the Alpha Gamma Sigma, Alpha Chapter By-laws;
- Willful disregard of decisions made by the executive board;
- Failure or refusal to disclose necessary information on matters of chapter business;

- Violation of PCC’s Board Policies or Administrative regulations.
- Procedure
The intention of the following steps at all stages is to seek restoration of the officer to a
position of responsibility.
- At the first indication of improper conduct giving rise to offense, the officer under question
is to be approached directly.
- If the officer under question does not listen, the individual with charges is to seek
reconciliation in the presence of one other and a chapter Advisor.

be brought before the chapter membership upon a unanimous vote of the board, for the
chapter to seek restoration of the officer.

that term, but is not barred from membership in future. However future eligibility for
leadership is disallowed.
