This manual is the “how we operate” companion to the AIAA Cape Canaveral Section Bylaws. It defines Council operating procedures (meetings, quorum, voting, and electronic ballots), officer/functional-role responsibilities, election processes and timelines, financial management and internal controls (including budgeting, disbursement approvals, and annual audit/reporting), and standard workflows for programs, communications, membership engagement, and records retention to ensure continuity across leadership transitions.
