http://www.psichi.org/news/article_254.asp ANNUAL & FINANCIAL REPORTS DUEChapters must file the Chapter Annual and Financial Reports each year by
June 30. Why the early reminder? Because some chapters report their academic year ending in early May. Therefore, the National Office is sending an early notice to remind all chapters when to file these reports. And remember, you can still mail a hard copy of these reports to the National Office, but we prefer you file online at:

elect next year's officers now if you have not already done so. Make sure current officers inform the new officers of their duties as well as share transitional data (such as financial records and chapter email/web account information).
