What sequence correctly lists positions in the Chain of Command?

What sequence correctly lists positions in the Chain of Command?

• A. Director of Expansion; Elder; Perspective Member
• B. Elder; Perspective Member; Director of Expansion
• C. Director of Expansion; Perspective Member; Elder
• D. Director of Membership; Director of Expansion; Elder

Answer: (A)

The sequence in the chain of command should move from the highest-ranking authority to the lowest. Among these roles, the Director of Expansion sits at the top, followed by the Elder, and at the bottom is the Perspective Member. This ordering reflects a clear line of authority: directives come from leadership, guidance is provided by senior members, and newcomers receive direction rather than issue it. Starting with the Elder would imply they outrank the expansion director, which doesn't align with how authority is typically arranged. Putting the Perspective Member before the Elder would place someone not yet a member ahead of a senior member, breaking the downward flow of command. Including Director of Membership introduces a different top-level role that doesn't fit the same direct reporting relationship with the others, disrupting the established hierarchy.
