Many
modern
Scottish
Clan organizations honor the
traditions of the Highland Clans in providing a sense
of shared family identity for people of Scottish
descent worldwide. Behind
the events of fellowship, the discovery of "long
lost cousins", the informative publications,
websites, etc. are hardworking engines driving a
clan organization and its activities through passionate
volunteers devoting time and energy for the good
of the clan family.
An organized
and stable structure that guides the individual roles of its members is necessary
for the growth and success of any group. The
current Chief of Clan MacTavish, as recognized head
of this Honourable Clan, has developed
an organizational chart to offer a visual demonstration
of the structure supporting the emerging organization. This
worldwide organization, like most families, has several
branches that operate with independance yet shared
purpose in celebration of their collective heritage.
