How do I join a local chapter?
Current dues amounts for each chapter in the Division can be found here.
What if there is no chapter nearby?
If you live in an area where there are no established IAAP chapters, you can still receive all the benefits of membership in the Illinois Division by joining as a Division Member-At-Large.
New chapters are forming throughout the country all the time. If there is enough interest in forming a chapter in your area, we can help to get you started. Please contact the Illinois New Chapter Builder Chairman, Deanna Brown CPS/CAP at brownd1479@sbcglobal.net for more information.
