Guest Guest Posted May 20, 2011 at 08:44 PM Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 at 08:44 PM I realize the obvious answer is probably "in your by laws"...it's not there, that's why I'm asking. Our CEO resigned, we are lost. Please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Harrison Posted May 20, 2011 at 08:51 PM Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 at 08:51 PM Check any applicable laws for the city/town where the Chamber is located. Also, you should ask any "old timers" who have been around for a while what language has been used in the past and if there was somewhere that specified the language required.

So make up your own "verbiage". A few Latin words can add a classy touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few Latin words can add a classy touch.I second the use of a few Latin words or phrases. I also think some sort of actions with any special hats, capes, swords, feathers, bear claws, etc. Toss the hat, twirl the feathers, cut a watermelon with the sword, and so on. Nice touches all.

Nice touches all.Be aware that during times of economic hardship, such ostentation can be viewed by some as being in poor taste.Fortunately, many societies have reported that a perfectly acceptable swearing-in ceremony can be accomplished with little more than some wooden swords, a few paper hats, and one or two Yogi Berra quotes delivered in pig-Latin.
