What is the National Headquarters responsible for?

• A. Activating disciplinary power provided for in AASMAN-1, and the national awards process, selected each year by a majority vote at NATCON.
• B. Inspecting squadrons at the region level and collecting dues from squadrons.
• C. Storing, organizing, and assembling the records of the Society.
• D. Coordinating regional conferences and alumni events.

Answer: (A)

National Headquarters acts as the central governing body, handling national-level governance and enforcement. Under AASMAN-1, it has the authority to activate disciplinary measures when rules are violated, ensuring consistent, nationwide application of discipline. It also runs the national awards process, with selections made by a majority vote at NATCON, the national convention. Tasks like inspecting squadrons and collecting dues are responsibilities that typically happen at regional or local levels, while keeping records or organizing regional conferences and alumni events are different functions that are not the HQ’s primary national duties.
