Nassau Chapter meetings are normally scheduled for once per month, on Friday, at 8:30 PM. The location of these monthly meetings changes from month to month. Different Nassau councils take turns hosting the Chapter meetings and providing the delicious repasts. These monthly, general, Chapter meetings are open to any and all Brother Knights carrying their own 3rd Degree Membership Card. Chapter Officers meetings are usually held during the same week as the General Chapter meeting but are only open to Chapter officers, Past Chapter Presidents, certain Chapter staff, and/or by invitation.

The Nassau Chapter was founded in 2001. The Nassau/Suffolk Chapter was originally made up of councils from both Nassau and Suffolk Counties. Its membership represented nearly 100 Long Island councils. Today, both Nassau and Suffolk Counties have their own separate Chapters. Stephen Tommony served as Nassau Chapter's 1st President. His 2-year term began in 2001 and ended in 2003. Stephen Tommony's administration, Nassau Chapter's very first, included Marvin "Ray" Dalton as Vice-President, Michael Murtha as Secretary, and Edward Ciulla as Treasurer. The Chapter's second administration, from 2003-2005,  was led by President Marvin "Ray" Dalton. This 2nd administration included Michael Murtha as Vice-President, Edward Ciulla as Secretary, and James R. Bellotti as Treasurer. The third administration, from 2005-2007, officially ended up being led by President Edward Ciulla supported by Vice-President James R. Bellotti, Secretary Steve Connelly and Treasurer William J. McDonald. Today, Nassau Chapter's 4th administration is in the capable hands of Chapter President James R. Bellotti, Vice-President Steven A. Connelly, Secretary James Wall, and Treasurer Michael T. Murtha. We all look forward to a another positive, constructive, and productive 2 years.
