National Organization Map¶

Goal¶

This page is the source of truth for routing questions to KTP National. Start here when a chapter does not know who owns a request, decision, or problem.

The current owners and titles were checked against the official KTP National Board page on September 1, 2026. Personal contact information is not repeated here; use the public contact route on that page or an approved chapter-access National channel.

When to use this¶

Use this map when:

a chapter needs National guidance or approval;
a request has stalled because ownership is unclear;
two portfolios appear to overlap;
a chapter wants a National decision reviewed; or
an author needs to identify the owner of National documentation.

The authority boundaries below are conservative routing guidance. The National Constitution, approved policy, adopted budget, and formal Board decisions take precedence. When no rule is documented, the portfolio owner should elevate the decision rather than assume new authority.

Organization structure¶

KTP chapters and colonies
        |
        | questions, requests, reports, and proposals
        v
National President / National Board coordination
        |
        +-- Chapter Growth -------- colonies, charters, chapter support
        +-- Outreach -------------- companies, sponsors, external opportunities
        +-- Alumni Relations ------ alumni programs and engagement
        +-- Technology ------------ national systems, access, and technical projects
        +-- Finance --------------- budgets, dues, reimbursements, and controls
        +-- Branding & Marketing -- brand standards and national communications

Portfolio owners lead work within their approved scope. Decisions that create National policy, financial or contractual commitments, chapter-status changes, constitutional interpretations, or organization-wide risk move to the President and appropriate National Board approval process.

Chapter Growth	Teagan Hollman	Initial chapter conversations, routine colony check-ins, approved templates, mentor coordination, and readiness feedback	Colony recognition, charter approval, requirement changes, exceptions, or chapter-status actions	Official Board listing or approved National chapter-growth channel
Outreach	Yeshwanth Vajinapalli	Prospect research, approved outreach, opportunity routing, and conversations using approved materials	Contracts, exclusivity, pricing commitments, data sharing, sponsorship promises, or new national partnership terms	Official Board listing or approved National outreach channel

Escalation paths¶

My chapter has a problem with X; who do I tell?¶

Problem or request	First contact	Escalate next when needed
Starting a chapter, colony milestone, charter readiness, or mentor support	Chapter Growth	President and the approval body required by governing documents
Member-development or recruitment requirement affecting a colony	Chapter Growth	President for policy interpretation or exceptions
Chapter-local recruitment operations	Chapter's own Membership lead	Chapter President; contact Chapter Growth only for National requirements or support
Company, sponsor, recruiting partner, or national career opportunity	Outreach	Finance for financial terms; President for commitments or conflicts
Alumni mentor, speaker, database, or national alumni program	Alumni Relations	Technology for systems/data; President for formal commitments
Website, system access, data flow, security, or technical project	Technology	President and affected portfolio owners; use restricted incident handling for sensitive events
National dues, chapter semester financial audit, approved payment, reimbursement, budget, or finance policy	Finance	President or National Board for exceptions and unbudgeted commitments
Semester compliance status or 30-minute chapter check-in	President or designated compliance coordinator	Relevant portfolio owner, then National Board for policy or unresolved exceptions
Semester alumni spreadsheet	Alumni Relations	Technology for restricted systems or data access; President for policy exceptions
Semester member audit or resume collection	Designated membership/compliance owner	Technology for secure collection and President for privacy, scope, or policy questions
Logo, public post, National statement, or brand approval	Branding and Marketing	President for crisis messaging, policy positions, or organization-wide reputational risk
Unclear ownership or several portfolios involved	President	Request full National Board review when the issue creates policy or organization-wide impact
Conduct, safety, legal, privacy, or sensitive escalation	Appropriate restricted National reporting route	National leadership under the applicable policy; do not post details in public documentation

For routine requests, send one clear message to the first owner rather than contacting every National leader separately. State the desired outcome and a reasonable deadline.

I disagree with a National decision; what's next?¶

Ask the decision owner for the governing policy, decision record, effective date, and practical impact on your chapter.
Submit a concise written reconsideration: the decision, affected chapter, relevant facts, requested change, and why the alternative better serves KTP.
If the owner cannot resolve it—or the issue changes policy, affects several chapters, or creates significant risk—request review by the President and appropriate National Board members.
If the concern involves the President or a conflict of interest, contact another National Board member and explicitly request Board-level review.
Use the designated restricted route for conduct, safety, legal, privacy, or confidential partner matters. Share details only with people responsible for the review.
Ask that the outcome and rationale be recorded. Approved organization-wide changes should appear in the future policy or decision log.

Disagreement does not make a question inappropriate. Keep the discussion specific, evidence-based, and focused on the requested outcome. This routing guide does not replace any formal appeal or voting process in governing documents.

Meeting calendar¶

The official National website does not currently publish a recurring meeting schedule, attendance model, or public agenda archive. Until Nationals publishes one, do not infer meeting dates from personal calendars or private messages.

Meeting	Expected participants	Public cadence	Agendas and notes
National EBoard operating meeting	Current National Board	Not publicly documented	Use the approved restricted Board system; publish only approved decisions or summaries
National–chapter representative forum	National leaders and designated chapter representatives	Not publicly documented	Future public-safe summaries should live with National communication documentation
Portfolio office hours	Relevant portfolio owner and chapter leaders	Not publicly documented	Contact the portfolio owner for current availability and approved channel
Colony check-ins	Chapter Growth and the colony's authorized leaders	Monthly during active colony development, based on the current colony guide	Private action summaries; publish only reusable lessons

When a public calendar is adopted, update this table with the cadence, intended attendees, cancellation rules, and authoritative location for agendas and approved notes.

What worked¶

Routing is fastest when a chapter sends one owner a complete request containing the chapter, context, impact, desired outcome, deadline, and previous actions. Portfolio owners should acknowledge the request, name the decision owner, and state when the next update will occur.

What to adapt¶

Titles and portfolios may change between National Boards. Preserve the responsibility even when a title changes, and update the owner, contact route, authority boundary, deadlines, and EBoard archive together.

Nationals should ratify more specific approval thresholds and meeting cadences through the appropriate governing process. Once approved, replace the conservative defaults here with exact rules and effective dates.
