<h4>Biographical/Historical Note</h4>
<p>Charles “Charlie” Ibrahim Abed was born in Kano, Nigeria, in 1959, to Lebanese immigrants. The second youngest of five children, Charlie spent his early childhood in Nigeria before his father sent him and his younger sister to Lebanon to attend boarding schools. Due to the outbreak of the Lebanese Civil War, Charlie completed his high school education in the United States.</p>
<p>Charlie entered university in Detroit, Michigan before deciding to join his brother Samir in North Carolina in 1979. He attended UNC-Charlotte, where he met his future wife, Susan Walsh. They married in 1983 and moved to Pennsylvania to work for IBM. Charlie and Susan returned to North Carolina in 1987 and had four children: Mira, Sasha, Richard, and Erica. Charlie and Susan continued to work for IBM until 1994, when Charlie left to start his own business and Susan began consulting and homeschooling their children. Charlie's businesses included an oil change shop, a UPS store, a car wash, and a donut shop.</p>

One of the efforts is to provide Club Presidents with this Handbook. It establishes uniform
guidelines for Club Presidents regarding the duties of their office and suggestions on how to carry
out their responsibilities.

�JOB DESCRIPTION
We encourage you to begin your administration by carefully reviewing the Constitution, By-Laws
and General Information of the Southern Federation of Syrian Lebanese American Clubs,
commonly referred to as ''The Handbook." This publication is the road map and key to your
success in understanding the Federation, it's programs, and the tools available to assist you. We
urge you to circulate The Handbook among all the officers in your club. This is the first step and
the vital communication link between your club and the Federation.
Your primary point of contact with the Southern Federation is your State Vice-President. The
State Vice-President under the Chairmanship of the Vice-President of the Southern Federation, is
a member of the Membership Committee and is primarily responsible for the membership and
growth of
Clubs within your state. Your State Vice-President is your active partner in the
Federation.
The recommended job description for Club President is in your Handbook under Model
Constitution and By Laws as amended through July 2, 1995, Article VIII, Officers:
''The President, and in his absence the Vice-President shall preside at all
meetings; shall appoint all committees; and exercise general supeIVision
over the affairs of the organization. He shall at all times enforce all the laws
and rules of the organization and shall call to account any member violating
the same. He shall have the power to discipline any member for conduct
unbecoming a member of the organization".
