*Good standing: Good standing requirements are listed in the above section ‘Items Required to be in Good Standing’. Instructions on how to use the new Leadership Portal can be found here.

**Full access: The leader can pull section rosters, upload financial reports, and update the leadership roster through the leadership portal.

***Limited access: The leader can view financial reports and view the leadership roster through the leadership portal. The leader cannot edit the financial report or leadership roster. The leader can view section rosters of the section they are a member of. Counselors and Faculty Advisors that are members of a professional section will not see the section roster for the section they are a leader of. We encourage these leaders to sign up for the monthly section roster report through their Leadership Portal. Navigate to the ‘Manage Section Agreement & Info’ button and select the ‘Request Section Roster’ checkbox to sign up. 

Only sections in good standing are eligible to receive quarterly membership rebates and are eligible to apply for program development grants from SWE HQ. Per SWE’s Bylaws, if a section is not in good standing for two or more consecutive years, the board may declare that section inactive and you would lose your ability to continue to use SWE’s name, brand and conduct business in the name of SWE. Find the Section Membership Dues Rebate Documentation on the Resource Center under Section Information for additional details about rebate requirements, distribution, and calculations.
