State Chapters

[garyhtou]

Summary

Allow for State Officers/Advisers to send out announcements to all chapters within their state.

Intended Outcome

This will allow State Officers/Advisers to easily communicate with their state's members through the app.

• Announcements from a state chapter will be broadcasted/displayed in all chapters within their state.
• Announcements from State Chapters should be differentiated from announcements by the local chapter.

How will it work?

• The structure of State chapters is the same as normal chapters.
• Since each email address may only be associated with one chapter, State Officers/Advisers must have a decided email address for this state chapter (such as their association email). (They may use another email address to join another chapter)
• State Officers/Advisers will use the normal chapter joining process to join their state chapter.
• Announcements from a state chapter will be displayed to all chapters within their state. Announcements from State Chapters should be differentiated from announcements by the local chapter.
• Each local chapter should be assigned to a state at the time of its creation.

It is not possible for users to create a State Chapter, we will need to:

• Manually create their state chapter (maybe we can create a normal chapter then edit firebase to change it into a state chapter)
• Assign the first chapter admin

To request the creation of a state chapter, the state advisers must email us. We will need to verify the validity of their request.
