Transform Locally: Attend a Chapter Meeting

If you just can’t get away, haven’t yet sold your boss, or are the person left behind while your colleagues head to Kansas City, maybe a local chapter meeting is a better fit for you.

There are no separate dues or fees, and local events are reasonably priced or often even free!

As a member of our industry, you know the importance of staying informed, building connections, and continuously improving your skills. One of the best ways to achieve these goals is by participating at a local chapter. GEAPS member or not (yet), you are welcome. Here are some of the key benefits:

4. Leadership Opportunities

Local chapters have their own local governance structures and numerous opportunities to get involved, such as serving on planning committees, scholarship selection task forces, or chapter boards.
