Connection
Stay connected beyond major national events.
Monthly Chapter Meetings
Community Starts With Showing Up.
Chapter meetings give members a place to stay connected, discuss community matters, share updates, strengthen relationships, and take part in OLICON closer to where they live.
What is a chapter meeting?
A Place to Connect, Discuss and Participate
OLICON is a national organization with local community structures. State chapters help Liberians organize and meet closer to home — so belonging is not reserved for national gatherings alone.
- Stay connected with fellow Liberians nearby
- Share information and community updates
- Discuss concerns that affect local members
- Participate in OLICON activities
- Build relationships and support one another
- Contribute ideas and stay informed about national life
Why monthly meetings matter
What regular gathering makes possible
Conversation
Make room to discuss issues affecting the community.
Participation
Give members a practical way to contribute.
Support
Remain aware of welfare and mutual-care efforts.
Unity
Strengthen the relationships that make national OLICON possible.
From local connection to national unity
National unity is strengthened through local relationships
The 2026 materials recognize state chairpersons, regional coordinators, National Executive members, and chapters working together. Community-level participation feeds into OLICON’s wider national life.

What happens at chapter meetings?
Space for community life — not a fixed script
The source materials do not publish a standardized monthly agenda. Chapter meetings may provide space for the kinds of community engagement OLICON already practices more broadly.
Community updates
Members stay informed about relevant OLICON developments.
Community discussion
Members discuss matters affecting the community.
Fellowship
Members maintain relationships and community connection.
Welfare
Community needs can be raised and addressed where applicable.
Planning
Members can coordinate upcoming chapter or community activities.
Participation
Members can contribute ideas and volunteer for community work.
Chapter meeting experience
How a gathering can feel
A design framework for community participation — not an official OLICON five-step process.
01

Reconnect with fellow community members.
02

Share ideas and discuss community matters.
03

04

05

Community conversations
People talking to people
OLICON’s community strength depends on people being able to share experiences, raise concerns, offer ideas, listen to one another, find common ground, and work together.
Member participation
Your Voice Belongs at the Table
Members can contribute through ideas, questions, community service, volunteering, supporting activities, sharing knowledge, and participating in discussions.
- Ideas
- Questions
- Community service
- Volunteering
- Supporting activities
- Sharing knowledge
- Participating in discussions
Community welfare
Staying close enough to notice needs
Chapter-level connection can help members remain aware of community needs and support efforts — without replacing the fuller story of OLICON’s welfare work.
Two ways of gathering
Local connection throughout the year. National gathering once a year.
The convention brings the community together nationally; chapter meetings help keep that connection alive throughout the year.
