Chapters / The smallest, most personal and arguably most important group within  is the chapter. Each member of  belongs to a chapter and each chapter functions much like a large family. Chapters plan programs geared toward the interests of their members and train new members in the ways of . A chapter’s small size allows for the development of strong bonds between the members of the chapter. The chapter is the most important level of BBG because it affects BBGs most directly. Councils / Several chapters in the same area may be grouped into a council. Some areas have councils and others do not. They are usually used to break up large regions in order to provide additional leadership opportunities and make communities of chapters more manageable. All councils are part of a region. 1977 The first Chapter Leadership Training Conference (CLTC) is held in Mukwonago, Wisconsin at B’nai B’rith Beber Camp. The BBYO International Convention votes to disband Districts. Dr. Sidney Clearfield is the BBYO International Director. 26
