[edit] Chapters^[1]

Chapters are the smallest division of USY. Regions are composed of many chapters, and each chapter usually stems from a specific conservative synagogue. Each chapter has its own board, elected by the other USYers in the chapter at the end of each school year. The chapter Temple Reyim USY (TRUSY) won the International USY Award for "Best Chapter Communications" at IC 2007^[2].
