• D. Advise on parliamentary procedure, ensure meetings follow Robert's Rules, help with motions, and maintain order and rules compliance.

Answer: (A)

Historians are the keepers of the chapter’s memory. Their duties focus on preserving the chapter’s history by collecting photos and records, maintaining organized archives, and producing a year-end report or yearbook that captures what the chapter did, who led it, and its milestones. This role creates an official record for current and future members and helps tell the chapter’s story over time, often coordinating with other officers to gather material and dates.

The other duties described belong to different roles: publicizing activities, issuing press releases, managing social media and newsletters are about public relations and communications; handling finances, ledgers, budgets, and financial reports fall under the Treasurer; advising on parliamentary procedure and keeping meetings in order align with the Parliamentarian.
