P.E.O. International will email corresponding secretaries with instructions to review and update the Membership Roster on the P.E.O. International website between January 1 and February 24, 2025. Because the corresponding secretary will complete this review before the launch of online annual reports, it will ensure chapter rosters are up-to-date and ready for the treasurer on March 1.
What changes should the corresponding secretary look for on the Member Roster? She should correct discrepancies with contact information for chapter sisters, report any missing membership transactions (initiations, reinstatements, transfers into the chapter, and deaths of active and inactive members), and complete any missing information for chapter sisters. Remember: the corresponding secretary will not report new inactive sisters. Sisters who do not pay dues are only marked inactive by the chapter treasurer after March 1 on the online annual report.
Once the corresponding secretary has completed her roster review, submitted all updates, and verified that the records are correct, she must report her review to the chapter president. This report must be made before February 24. This review should not take long if all membership transactions have been reported throughout the year.
In addition to the email from P.E.O. International, local chapter corresponding secretaries received an email from Kansas State Chapter with specific instructions and helpful tools for completing the Member Roster review. Information for corresponding secretaries, including a new month-by-month checklist, will also be included in the winter mailing at the end of January.
Corresponding secretaries are encouraged to contact KSC Executive Secretary Kasey Griffith with any questions or if they need help navigating the P.E.O. International website. By reviewing and updating the Member Roster in January/February, treasurers and presidents will be able to complete annual reports more easily in March.
