The first few steps allow you to learn more about us and give us the chance to get to know a little about you. After reviewing the information we provide it is helpful to find a time to meet with the people who would likely be the initial roster of members and serve in leadership alongside you. Whether via a conference call, video chat, or in-person this meeting can give you the opportunity to explain what you have learned, gather any questions from them, and see who might be interested in leading alongside you.
The final step in the process is an interview with a member of our team who will be able to answer any questions. Once you are officially approved by the Executive Board, our team will walk you through the process of getting your Chapter up and running.
