Are you a Chairman or a Chairperson?
In recent years, use of the word "Chairman" has been questioned. Is it proper? While some have encouraged the use of the word "Chairperson", others have used "Chairwoman", feeling that the widely used "Chairman" indicates the masculine gender.
It does not. Chairman is a proper title, an official title, and belongs to the position the same as the title of President, Secretary, or Vice President. It has no gender, neither masculine or feminine.
To differentiate between the sexes, it is proper and appropriate to use Mister Chairman or Madam Chairman.
No parliamentary law authority or dictionary recognizes the word "Chairperson". Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised states that the word "Chairman be used to designate a position".
Members of Beta Sigma Phi -- yes, "Chairman" is a proper title. We can use it with confidence!
