How do I find a currently active MALCS chapter in my area?

Local chapters of MALCS are organized by region across the nation. See MALCS Chapters for a list of current chapters.

How do I start a MALCS chapter?

MALCS members who wish to establish a chapter must work in partnership with the MALCS Executive Committee. This means that chapters should have regular communication with the Executive Committee (via the Recording Secretary) to ensure that the proposed chapter’s structure and organization reflect the mission and values of MALCS. Chapter meetings and activities are at the discretion of each chapter. Once regional and/or institutional chapters have been established, chapters should send contact information and meeting times to the Executive Committee.

After reviewing our MALCS Chapter frequently asked questions document, please contact MALCS Secretary (adeli.ynostroza-ochoa@malcs.org) or MALCS Admin Coordinator (lupe@malcs.org) for details about organizing a chapter in your area.
