Regional Chapter Formation

CMAA has 27 regional chapters, spread throughout the United States. New chapters may be formed in areas with no current chapter representation or by forming a chapter in a geographic area currently served by a regional chapter.  International chapters are not being formed at this time; individuals in foreign countries are encouraged to join CMAA as International Members.

If you are interested in starting a new chapter in your area, download the Regional Chapter Formation Manual (PDF), which includes the application, chapter bylaws and the Affiliation Agreement along with other important information. You can download the Regional Chapter Application separately as a Word document if you wish for ease of completion. Contact Martha Montague with questions and to submit the application for consideration by CMAA's Board of Directors.

Upon receipt of the Application by the Regional Chapter Committee, the application is reviewed and a recommendation for approval/disapproval is forwarded to CMAA’s Board of Directors for its final decision.   The approval process is conducted at one of CMAA's Board meetings held in May, October, and December.  Once a chapter is formed, a six-month review is conducted between the chapter president and the Regional Chapter Committee members to determine how the chapter is progressing.
