What it means to be an oikos chapter representative - roles & functions Chapter representatives (in several cases, that is the local president), have mainly 2 roles: 1\) to represent the voice of the local chapter in the legislative assembly and thereby contribute to all decisions made on that level and to build a bridge between the local work and the international community. This means, they are responsible for staying connected, becoming aware of opportunities and effectively communicating them to their chapter members. 2\) They are in charge of filling in the chapter impact report, that allows the chapter & oikos International to gain an insight into the impact of the chapter, and are invited to make use of the chapter pathway initiative to find support and peers that are on the same journey.
