SPECIAL ORDER # 4, 2022-2023

Business for the 28th Encampment of the Department of Tennessee

Past Department Commanders, Past Camp Commanders, Camp Commanders and Secretaries,

Some business that is determined for the upcoming Department Encampment:

  • Updates to our By-Laws.
    • Changes approved at the 26th Department Encampment were forwarded to National for the signature of the Commander-in-Chief. With one exception, the changes were not in question.  There were other issues brought up at that time.
    • A draft of the changes based on the Commander-in-Chief’s comments was not available for the 27th Department Encampment, due to the requirement of 60 days notice to the Camps.
    • The Sr. Vice Commander, as chair of the By-Laws committee has provided a draft for this Encampment. The draft is available on the Department website here:
      http://www.suvcwdepttn.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/DeptofTNByLaws_revD_Proposed_r3-V2-.pdf
    • As the previous changes were already approved by a previous encampment, we will only address the changes that the By-Laws committee are proposing.
  • Statement on National Per Capita increase

Camp Commanders and Secretaries, please forward this information to your Delegates so they may come to Encampment informed and prepared.

Ordered this 16th day of January 2023.
