Chapters are local branches of an organization that are active in multiple areas. Chapters share the same mission as the mother organization, and work in coordination of mutual goals. Making a chapter requires proper motivation and processes; this section will introduce you to the benefits of creating a chapter, as well as the steps to creating and managing one.
