The Section NE-2A Council of Chiefs is a meeting which takes place several times throughout the year in order to plan the Section Conclave and carry out business of the Section. The voting members of the COC are the Section Chief, Vice Chief, Secretary, Immediate Past Section Chief, and one Youth Representative from each Council. We encourage the Lodge Key Three and other interested Lodge Officers to attend, along with the Conclave Leadership.

lodge assistance program
The Lodge Assistance Program makes available a section's extensive resources to help the lodges of the section. With the section's help, lodges will be able to provide better service to their councils and fulfill the requirements of the Quality Lodge Recognition program.
The assistance program encompasses two major elements, lodge visits by a section assistance team and use of the council of chiefs meetings to provide training. Through a system of evaluation and review, lodge leaders are able to interact and learn from experienced Arrowmen within the section. The lodge visits help identify the resources, training and guidance that lodges require to ultimately increase the service they provide to their councils.
Sections gain first hand knowledge of lodge strengths through the onsite visits. This in turn enables the section to prepare programs to meet the needs of the lodges, and provide them through conclave training and council of chiefs discussions and presentations. The Lodge Assistance Program uses the resources of the section to improve and strengthen the lodges. A task force has been established promote, evaluate and determine a best-methods approach of doing things for the lodge.
