Honorary Chapter Regent status may be bestowed upon a chapter's past regent only by chapter election and if chapter bylaws allow. A copy of the approved chapter meeting minutes documenting the election of the honorary chapter regent AND a copy of the section of the chapter bylaws permitting such an election MUST be sent to the Office of Organizing Secretary General at chapterservices@dar.org for inclusion in the member's eMembership record immediately upon election. Once the member's eMembership record has been updated, the pin may be ordered. Approved chapter minutes AND a copy of the chapter bylaws may also be uploaded when ordering the pin. However, a delay may occur if Organizing has not updated the member's record to reflect her status as an honorary chapter regent.
This pin may only be worn by DAR members on the official Insignia ribbon according to the most current "Placement of DAR Insignia and Pins on Official Ribbon" document found on the Insignia Committee webpage.
This gold-filled pin measures 1 3/4" x 1/2".
The name of the chapter is required engraving on this pin. Please note, the words "Chapter", "DAR", or "NSDAR" will not be engraved. If additional text is included, your order may be delayed as we correct your details.
Purchase Approval Options:
1. Prior to Election: The chapter vice regent or treasurer must upload a copy of their bylaws showing that they have a provision in their chapter bylaws to elect an Honorary Chapter Regent.
2. After Election: The chapter vice regent, recording secretary, or treasurer must upload a copy of the approved chapter minutes, showing the chapter regent was elected as an Honorary Chapter Regent by the chapter. A copy of the approved chapter minutes should also be emailed to ChapterServices@dar.org.
3. An Honorary Chapter Regent or any officer of her chapter may purchase the Honorary Chapter Regent pin, if the Honorary Chapter Regent's eMembership record lists her as an Honorary Chapter Regent.
Plan ahead and please allow 6-8 weeks for engraving.
