State Chapter
A State Chapter is separately incorporated; maintains association management and governance; provides for NAIFA representation before state legislative and regulatory bodies; and coordinates meetings, either directly or through Local Chapters or Affiliates, for professional development and education, social/networking, and grassroots political advocacy throughout the state in population centers large enough to support structured programming.
State Chapters are primarily responsible for regular communication and coordination with Local Chapters within their jurisdiction; while sharing mutual responsibility to collaborate for the benefit of members and in the spirit of one NAIFA. A State Chapter is accountable for the maintenance, support and success of its Affiliates that are under its control.
The State Chapter’s board is comprised of representatives from across the state and is reflective of the state's membership. The state board provides leadership for all the state activities and relies on Local Chapter boards and Affiliate groups to identify and develop leaders for future service on the state board.
