Connect at the Local Level
Chapters play a vital role in building the value proposition of the Association. They facilitate relationships development with area legislators, regulators, and other professionals.
As a member of SCACPA, you are invited to join one of our eight regional chapters. Your membership includes chapter membership–no additional fees required! You are eligible to join the chapter in which you live or work, but you may only be a member of one chapter at a time. Leverage this powerful networking tool to build your local connections and discover new friends and contacts.
Every chapter is responsible to the association’s Board of Directors, and is included in the association’s annual financial audit.
If you are already a member of SCACPA and would like to join your local chapter, or for additional information regarding chapter events and benefits, please contact SCACPA CEO Chris Jenkins.
