Establishing New Chapters

A new chapter may be established in any region of the country not currently represented by a chapter, where approximately 25 members are interested in forming one.
Emerging chapters sign a Letter of Intent to show their interest and commit to working toward becoming an established chapter within a two-year time frame.
Chapters are eligible for grants from IAP2 Canada to support their activities. Emerging chapters can apply for a chapter development grant to help them work toward becoming an established chapter.
