Chapter Creation FAQ's

1 - Can a new chapter be chartered in a city where a former NC100BW chapter once existed but is now dissolved?

Yes, a new chapter can be considered for the charter of a dissolved group at the discretion of the National Board of Directors.
 

2 - Can a chapter be started in a city where a chapter already exists?

Yes. The chartering of chapters is at the discretion of the National Board of Directors and geography is not the only criteria that is considered for approval.
 

3 - How do I get information about starting a chapter?

You can receive information about starting a chapter from our national office, however here is the basic information:

You will need a minimum of 25 women to have an interest group and a roster of these women must accompany your letter of interest that must be sent to the national office.

Once the interest group has submitted the non-refundable organizing fee to the national office, the interest group is considered an organizing group and will be contacted by the national chapter development committee and assigned a chapter development coordinator.

The organizing group has up to one year to complete all of the required activities in order to petition the national board of directors for charter consideration at their next national board meeting.
