Application for Affiliated Chapter Status

Please consult the ACBS Chapter Handbook and Sample Chapter By-Laws for details and information. Please login to the website, then fill out the on-line form below.

In order for your Chapter Application to be processed, you must send the following information to ACBS:

  1. Signatures of 25 ACBS members who support the formation of this Chapter (emailed to the ACBS office or attached below)
  2. Verification that at least 50 ACBS members live or work in the proposed Chapter area. Check Member Directory here.
  3. Names of 4 committed volunteers (Signing volunteers of a new chapter are required to make a minimum two year commitment as a volunteer supporting the chapter, regardless of whether or not they hold an official, elected role in the Chapter).
  4. By-laws for the Chapter (please submit via the form below).

The application, by-laws, and signatures will be reviewed by ACBS staff. (You will be notified if the chapter application or by-laws need to be modified, or if there are fewer than 25 signatures from current ACBS members.) After the ACBS staff approves the chapter application and by-laws, the ACBS Board of Directors will vote to approve or reject creating the new chapter.

The official name of your proposed chapter (ex. "Southeastern ACBS" or "ACBS of Japan").
