The Community Service Project is a chapter project that provides an opportunity for chapter members to develop a better understanding of the role civic activities have in society, to make a contribution to a community service or charity, and to learn and apply the principles of the numerous components of marketing management. The purpose of the Community Service Project is to provide an opportunity for the chapter members to demonstrate the skills necessary in planning, organizing, implementing and evaluating a community service project. The project may be conducted anytime between the close of the previous state conference and the beginning of the next state conference.
