7 Steps to Founding a New NABE Chapter:
1) Contact NABE for a contact list of active NABE Members in your area to identify possible officers and members.
2) Identify a venue or host for Chapter Meetings. Most NABE Chapters meet over lunch either weekly, monthly or quarterly.
3) Identify a speaker for the inaugural Chapter Meeting (see the NABE Speakers Bureau).
4) Contact NABE to post the event on the NABE Calendar.
5) Draft Chapter By-laws, select officers, set regular meeting schedule.
6) Write a formal letter to the NABE Board of Directors requesting official chapter status.
7) The Board will vote at the next meeting, and you will be notified of the decision.
Starting and Running NABE Student Chapters
A group of students at a college or university with an interest in business economics may form a NABE Student Chapter. The following links provide more information on forming and running a student chapter.
