Officer Election Reports - Installation and Revisions Effective August 1, 2025, you will be expected to use the electronic, web-based form to submit installation and revision OERs. This form is more complete than the paper form, as it provides information on your DEC and Alt DEC which are not on the paper form. Remember, OERs must be submitted within 10 calendar days from a change in Chapter leadership.
Officers should verify their contact information before the Chapter submits the OER. If the information is incorrect, the officer will need to go to mydav.org and access their personal profile to update the incorrect data. This is essential for Department to be able to contact you for DEC issues and other official business.
Thanks for your cooperation!
