While one need not belong to a local chapter to be a member of IAFI, a chapter offers an excellent way for members to get involved in IAFI projects and activities, and to build partnerships in their communities.

When you join IAFI, you can also join a local chapter and have a portion of your dues shared with that chapter; no separate chapter dues are required. You may affiliate with any chapter you wish, regardless of where you live. For more information about joining IAFI, see Becoming a Member.
