Chapters

Overview

Chapters are an important part of many Associations and how they deliver value to their members. Chapters enable Associations to have a local presence to encourage member engagement, thus helping in recruiting and retaining members.  

Chapters act as an extension of the organization, helping further its mission by improving member engagement. Chapters help in increasing member engagement, recruiting and retaining members, providing leadership development, and handling marketing and communications efforts at the local level. Local chapters are the membership heartbeat of an association, and allow Associations a great opportunity to discover and serve the needs of all its constituents.
