Anybody from the community that the chapter feels is acceptable as an
advisor is the interpretation that I'd use.
You do, of course, have the usual restriction that advisors may not be
undergraduates, but other than that, there was nothing added in the
legislation to limit the chapter's choice in the matter.
A community advisor could easily also qualify for one of the other
requirements (don't the professors live in the community? aren't the
people you would consider as scouting advisors also a part of the
community?), or could be an alumnus that stayed in the area, or a city
councilman, or nearly anyone else that's not an undergraduate and who the
chapter thinks should be an advisor.
