In the standard process for planning a chapter service project, which step directly follows setting the timeline?

• A. Obtain approvals.
• B. Implement
• C. Plan activities
• D. Identify community need.

Answer: (A)

Sequencing in planning a chapter service project matters: after you lock in the timeline, the next move is to obtain approvals. Securing sign-off from the adviser, school administration, or sponsoring organizations confirms that the plan fits policy, is feasible with available resources, and has the necessary permissions to move forward. With approvals in place, you can confidently proceed to implementing the plan.

The other steps fit earlier or later in the flow. Identifying the community need usually comes first, since that drives the project purpose. Planning activities typically happens before finalizing the timeline, laying out what will be done and how long it might take. Implementing comes after approvals and once the plan is ready to execute.
