if the number of Directors then in office is less than a quorum, by

Chapters that serve students at colleges and universities are

exclusively for educational, scientific, business and commerce purposes.

petition the Board of Directors for a charter as an ITC chapter in
that locality. A petition for charter as a Student Chapter shall

must be obtained before any amendment may be distributed for vote
to the members of the chapter. The officers of a chapter will be
elected and vacant offices filled as provided in its bylaws. All
officers must be ITC members. For just cause, specific elected
officers of a chapter may be removed by vote of at least two-thirds
of the entire Board of Directors. The Sponsor of each Student
Chapter will be appointed as provided in its bylaws. The Board of
Directors will establish a procedure for confirming these
appointments. All Sponsors of Student Chapters must be ITC members.

Policy established by the Board of Directors. Each chapter must
file an annual financial statement with ITC. Should two or more
chapters merge, all assets and liabilities become the
responsibility of the surviving chapter. Should a chapter be
dissolved, its assets and liabilities shall be transferred to ITC
and shall be supervised by the Board of Directors; an exception may
be granted by the Board of Directors when there is a conflicting
school or government regulation.
SECTION 6. VIABILITY
Minimum acceptable levels of activity within chapters are specified
in a Viability Policy established by the Board of Directors. Each
chapter is responsible for filing reports as required by ITC. These
include an annual activity report on the state of the chapter
during the previous year, an annual financial report as required by
the Financial Accountability Policy, and the closing reports for
conferences and symposia sponsored by the chapter.
SECTION 7. REVOCATION OF CHARTER
A chapter's charter may be revoked by a two-thirds vote of all
members of the Board of Directors after the chapter has served a
probationary period. In the event that the Board of Directors is to
consider the revocation of any chapter's charter, prior notice of
the proposed action shall be given to all affected ITC members.
SECTION 8. AUTHORITY
In case of conflict, the Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws, and
the policies set by the Board of Directors take precedence, in the
order stated, over any provisions of chapter bylaws or internal
policies.
